I guess there's a few, but I don't know if I'd recommend Ktools for a large print site...I guess because I'd have a tough time customizing it, but maybe someone who knows what they're doing...

I'm just getting ready to take part of my own site to large print sales on watercolour and canvas, but I'm not even sure how I'm going to handle that.

Talking to a few people right now...one of whom is the guy whose going to do the prints and ship them.

What exactly are you planning? There's a couple of people who do their own sales from their sites that I can think of (rinder does, but he didn't set it up) and Antonio (ajn) does.

Hi Gracey,

Its actually for a friend that does landscape photography, He is looking to set up a shop online.

He needs someting fairly easy to manage and setup. (No real website experience)

I guess that you could use OsCommerce for it.

It's probably not the most ideal package for photo sales but it is customizable to some degree, it can be set up to use Paypal for taking money and best of all it is free!

OsCommerce is OK but you will need basic scripting skills for correct setup. For example, first thing you want to remove will be "Manufacturer" because you don't need this.
To fix this, you need to open all files where Manufacturer is mentioned and insert something else. (probably your name if you are image owner).

Default OsCommerce is dedicated for hardware and other stuff.

My recommendations goes to ktools
