Print Sales
creavio lets you sell physical products — prints, canvases, metal prints, and albums — directly from your client galleries. It's additional revenue with minimal extra work.
Enabling Print Sales
- Go to Collections > Settings > Print Sales
- Connect to a print fulfillment lab (creavio integrates with major labs)
- Set up your product catalog and pricing
- Toggle Enable Print Sales
Setting Up Products and Pricing
Configure the products available for purchase:
- Print sizes — 4x6 through 30x40 and custom sizes
- Paper types — lustre, matte, metallic, fine art
- Canvas wraps — gallery wrap, thin wrap, framed
- Metal prints — glossy or matte finish
- Albums — lay-flat, flush mount, press-printed
For each product, set your retail price. The difference between your cost (from the lab) and retail price is your profit.
The Client Experience
When print sales are enabled on a collection, clients see an Order Prints button on each image. They can:
- Select an image
- Choose product type and size
- See a preview of the final product
- Add to cart and continue shopping
- Check out with credit card payment
Order Fulfillment
When a client places an order:
- You receive a notification with order details
- The order is sent to your connected print lab
- The lab prints and ships directly to the client
- You receive your profit automatically
Pricing Strategy
- Mark up prints 2.5-4x your cost for healthy margins
- Offer a few premium products (canvas, metal) alongside standard prints
- Create package deals to encourage larger orders
- Include a print credit in your session packages to drive initial purchases
Print sales are passive income — the gallery does the selling. Make sure your strongest images are front and center.
