Print Sales

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

  1. Go to Collections > Settings > Print Sales
  2. Connect to a print fulfillment lab (creavio integrates with major labs)
  3. Set up your product catalog and pricing
  4. 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:

  1. Select an image
  2. Choose product type and size
  3. See a preview of the final product
  4. Add to cart and continue shopping
  5. 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.
