Canned scripts for selling photos online?

Chris · 09/25/2008, 07:52 PM

A buddy of mine has zero HTML knowledge and is a pretty damn good budding photographer. He picked up a domain and is hunting around for a script that'll let him sell photos online using paypal.

Is there anything out there that's pre-built to do this? I found a few links about it using Paypal's API, but since I don't want/have time to code it for him, I'm trying to find a packaged solution.

Has he checked out Smugsmug.com? I know some people use it to sell their work.

It's http://www.smugmug.com, not smugsmug.

+1 for Smugmug. I think this guy best describes the benefits: Digital Camera Resource Page Forums - View Single Post - website engine

The thing is, he has his own domain and wants to promote his business as well. He has a crappy website up right now that I'm redoing with my so-so HTML skills, but ideally all he needs is a gallery and a quick checkout script that he can toss up on his own site so that he can solicit business and sell individual shots at the same time.
