You can sell both digital and physical products as well as your services. For example, photographic prints and downloads, artwork, ebooks, course notes, therapy sessions or carpentry. 

Basically anything.

Do I need to set up an account with my chosen lab?

Things will work "out of the box". Payments for the cost of goods are managed during the purchase process. 

How quickly do I get my money from sales?

Depending on your online payment provider, the next day. The money will go into your own account (your bank, PayPal etc) - not ours. Different providers provide your funds in different ways.

How do delivery charges work?

If you are using a lab, they will determine the delivery charges. The customer pays the delivery charges to you (the seller) and then you pay the lab.

If you are self-fulfilling orders, you will set the delivery charges based on the weight of the order and the delivery address. The customer pays the delivery charges to you (the seller) so that you can organise the delivery of their order.

Thank You Thank You THANK YOU - I have just managed to create a new side business to my photography over the weekend - your system is out of this world - managed to build a new website all by myself ... with a wee bit of help from your help and support section ... and hey presto we are up and running. I am truly bowled over - THANK YOU
Customer service from TIF is exemplary - timely, professional and helpful. Honestly, I have nothing but praise for them, and the best thing - they are friendly and personal (yet professional) in the way in which they provide all of their services and the style, timeliness and usefulness of their communication.

They're just very nice people to do business with and I wouldn't be without them.
I love the website, it looks really professional, like nothing I had before! The website is now live!! Yay, I'm super excited. yay!
Thank you so so soon much for all your help. I really appreciate it and I love how my new website looks!
Many thanks, xx
I have to say a very big thank you for all you have done for me regarding the site build and your patience with me.
I can not express my gratitude enough. I am so happy with the site. Thank you again.
I absolutely wanted to email you to thank you so very much for all you've done for me, you have helped me create a website I didn't think was possible. One of the photographers who harshly critiqued me looked at my new and improved website and said it was like looking at two entirely different photographers! I'm so utterly delighted!
I have been signing your praises and will continue to do so, you have my business for life as I have never encountered customer service like it.
theimagefile have really cracked it. I have been with them for ten years, and run several websites on their system including a cosmetic surgeon, two caterers, a counsellor, a wedding venue, my daughters modelling site and my Surrey based commercial and wedding photography business, Studio J. The response to question and assistance is pretty much instant, be it a phone call or email. Its dealt with swiftly and comprehensively. I have no hesitation in asking for help on occasions as I know the issue will be resolved by the end of the day. Who can say that of other platforms? The system is so robust and stable and the design and page templates exceed expectations and all at a price which must be the envy of all their competitors. Totally cost effective. The sales side of theimagefile is equally comprehensive, with so many options available and I have even asked them to build a bespoke product sales page for one of my clients and had that designed and online in less than 24 hours much to the amazement of my client. If you want to display your work and sell it, use theimagefile.
I have been a member for many years. The quality of service, response to queries and the occasional 'help' request to support, has been reliable beyond expectations! The account provides me with every tool I need to have a fresh, engaging & efficient website and maximise my online web presence.

I highly recommend theimagefile to anyone.
I just wanted to write and say a big thank you to theimagefile for bringing my business into the 21st century! I must admit that I was a little sceptical about taking the £1.00 trial, mainly because it all sounded far too good to be true. However, you guys really have delivered all you said you would. Taking the trial really was the best decision I made all year, I should have done it sooner! My customers love it and the sales are building into really useful income.
Thank you for building my new website. It looks splendid. I am very pleased with it :))
I met theimagefile at SWPP and was impressed both by the people and the offer of assistance to build my site at very reasonable cost. They made the build process really easy for me, steering me through what I needed to do, and answering my questions quickly and helpfully. I'm delighted with the site, and looking forward to fully populating my galleries and starting to promote them.
Having used theimagefile for over 2 years not only do I regard their services an integral part of my business but so do my clients! With the ability for my corporate customers being able to access their images worldwide, 24 hours a day, it has taken a huge stress off the business and I can simply log in at 8am each day to check orders and payments received. Thank you for all the support and level of commitment you have showed me over the last couple of years.
Thank you (a million times!) I have just had a look at the site and it is perfect!
I have been using theimagefile for a number of years to show-case photos to clients and to provide a print and memento service.
Our website was originally hosted elsewhere and was no longer appropriate, being unsuitable for mobile devices. Having explained the situation to them. They undertook a complete revamp of our website, moved our domain name into 'their fold' and took on board the hosting of the site for us.
A major concern was not to loose our e-mail address which is linked to the site, however they took control of this and implemented a solution which addresses our concern.
I am delighted with the results and with the speed and professionalism of their work. Nothing was too much bother and I am only sorry that I didn't approach them much earlier.
Yet again, absolutely delighted with the whole "theimagefile" experience. Professional, personal and friendly service. It has been great to see my ideas become reality. A big thank you to the dedicated team who were always there to offer support and assistance. Delighted with the final result.
Wow... that's fantastic! I'm over the moon with it. You have done a splendid job!
I can't thank theimagefile enough for their wonderful service. Not only do they provide the tools to create an amazing multi functional website, but their hosting runs smoothly and their customer service is second to none. Every time I have a problem no matter how big or small, I get help immediately, with real solutions! theimagefile goes out of their way to help, beyond the call of duty.

I love my website, and am so pleased with the professional look. People can't believe I have made it myself and that is due to the easy to use design tools and clear and simple control panel. I am getting great search engine results coming up on the first page for many relevant search terms. Last but not least, the galleries which mean I can sell direct to my customers are fantastic and the print prices excellent! I am a VERY happy customer!
I've been a customer of theimagefile for over ten years now and I can't recommend them enough. Excellent customer service, not just from when you sign up, they have been there for me every step of the way. The support has been second to none over the years, nothing is too much trouble.

Simply put, theimagefile has helped me stay in business, there can't be a better compliment then that! A++++++++++++
I'd just like to say how happy I am with your Website Build service.
I have been looking to build a website for many months but, expecting it to be a complicated and time consuming struggle, I kept putting it off. I read a good review on theimagefile, and then saw that the complicated work could be done for me, so took the plunge.
I now have the website just as I want it. It was amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. I asked for various little tweaks so the site was personal to me, and all were completed promptly. A totally professional and stress-free experience - very pleased indeed.
Thank you so much. I love the Website. It's Looking Great.
Fantastic customer service which is always prompt, courteous and helpful. Great, intuitive design and simple to use. No reason to ever find another web site host.
The customer care is second to none! Every enquiry is treated with the utmost respect. It is a pleasure in this age of automated response to know that the human touch still exists!
I just want thank you for the superb job you did building my website, I love it and so does everyone who is looking at it. I received so many positive feedbacks for how professional it looks and how fast is showing the photos. My goal was showcasing my works in the clearest and most professional way possible and thanks to your invaluable support and expertise second to none, we've archived that. The whole process has been so straightforward and effortless since the first chat we've had on the phone and all the way through. To all the people out there who are looking to create a stunning and functional website I can't recommend enough to choose you guys.
Don't look any further everything you need theimagefile can do it and even more. Built by a professional team, for professional people. Thank you so much!!!
I've found your service to be 100% reliable and the technical support given to me is fantastic. I would (in fact, I do) recommend your company to anyone looking to run a photography website.
Having tried using two other software platforms prior to discovering TheImageFile, I’m now a total convert. TheImageFile fits my requirements as a professional photographer so perfectly that it feels like it could have been written with me in mind. Daunted initially by the depth of the functionality, the setup service offered by TheImageFile proved invaluable in getting my site up and running within just a few days. I’ve often been complimented on the design and content of my site. The continuous development of TheImageFile amazes me in how it seems to anticipate my own growing needs!
I just wanted to thank you for your help and support yet fast service on designing our website. your Affordable Price and friendly and professional manner are outstanding. Thank you theimagefile.
Really cannot praise theimagefile enough. They are first class and their customer service is truly second to none.
The ability to get a quick response to any questions no matter how small is really important to us. They NEVER disappoint.
Thank you from NLC Photography for all of your welcomed support over the years
I cannot believe how easy this was! I have spent since January considering, deliberating and attempting to use three other software packages which (apparently) gave the same service as theimagefile. After days of complete frustration and wasted time, in a matter of hours I have an integrated page in my website, fully operational and branded accordingly. I feel embarrassed and irritated that I didn't just go to theimagefile first off.

The mere fact you can speak to a human speaks for itself. I am seriously impressed. Thank you to all at theimagefile!
I have been using theimagefile for nearly 7 years and they have consistently offered exceptional support and expertise. Recently I had a very difficult job to fulfill and was overloaded with editing and the support team were incredible in helping me fulfill this through their retouching services. Thanks for being a truly exceptional service.
I just so love how you guys operate. Really feels like a one on one personal service when I know you have thousands or accounts to deal with. A real credit to you and the business.
I have been using theimagefile for over 5 years and cannot recommend them enough. The interface is so easy to use and if you get stuck, the help and support is immediate. As a busy Photographer, it is very difficult to understand how a website operates, but with theimagefile they do all the hard work but still allow you to personalise and change your images as often as you wish. In addition to this I am able to set up different price packages for different customers and also manage (and back up) all my shoots. I have complete control over what the end customer sees and can manage the website from my phone. In addition to this the support given from theimagefile is the real selling point. The support desk is always on hand to answer queries and help keep me up to date. For any photographer who wants control of their website, a personalise price plan and also the confidence of a back up system, I would recommend they get signed up to theimagefile straight away.
theimagefile's responsiveness and positive 'can do' friendly support in helping me to achieve a stylish and easy to navigate site is hugely appreciated :-) An outstanding service and value for money!
Just wanted to let you know that I built my web site with you in December last year and it did everything you said it would. You made it really easy to add some brilliant pages to my web site and my search engine rankings are right up there. I have literally 4 times as many weddings this year as I had last year. Thank you, you have turned my business around.
theimagefile has been so very helpful in setting up my online sales and integrating it with the existing website that I am stunned! After 7 years with an American company whose only communication was by “chat” at last I now feel looked after properly. Response times have been incredible and expertise obvious. Thoroughly recommended indeed
I cannot thank you enough for my website. I am so happy with the end result. A BIG Thank you for an amazing end result. I absolutely love the layout.

Again Thank You.
