Online Sales
Sell anything. All our websites include eCommerce solutions and beautifully designed, fully responsive shopping cart.
Client Galleries: Complement your work with beautifully branded, protected galleries for each of your clients. Present your images with elegant cover and layout options. Share, deliver, download and sell from any device.
Payments: Your sales, your money. We take zero commission. Secure online checkout with any of our payment integrations.
Online Shop: Sell photo products, digital downloads, stand-alone items and services. Boost your profits with gift vouchers, discounts and promo codes.
What can I sell?
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 (if it's legal!).
Do I need to set up an account with my chosen lab?
Things will work "out of the box". Payments to the lab 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, it is usually 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 so always best to check with your payment provider to make sure you are on the best option to suit you.
How do delivery charges work?
If you are using a lab, they will determine the delivery charges based on the weight of the order package and the delivery location which is calculated at checkout. The customer pays the delivery charges to you (the seller) and 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 or a simple set price per order. The customer pays the delivery charges to you (the seller) so that you can organise the delivery of their order.

Manage orders
Manage your business however you want.
Outsource & Dropship: Organise your order fulfilment through dropshipping. Your chosen lab will process the order and dispatch it to the customer.
Manage Things Yourself: Self-fulfil your orders and organise the shipping and delivery to the customer.
If you choose to fulfil your orders through a lab or print your order yourself, you're always in control.

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 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. TheImageFile amazes me in how it seems to anticipate my own growing needs!
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 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.
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.
I have been using theimagefile for a number of years.
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.

I have been using theimagefile for years and cannot recommend them enough. As a busy Photographer, it is very difficult to understand how a website operates, but with theimagefile it does all the hard work but still allows you to personalise and change things as often as you wish. I have complete control over what the end customer sees and can manage the website from my phone. The support given from theimagefile is the real selling point. For any photographer who wants control of their website, I would recommend they get signed up to theimagefile straight away.
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.

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.
Thank you (a million times!) I have just had a look at the site and it is perfect!

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.
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'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 just wanted to say thank you. We have had quite a few questions over the last couple of weeks and the way they have been dealt with efficiently and extremely quickly is really appreciated. I have to say the service is second to none! Thanks again.
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 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. 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 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 sales galleries are fantastic! I am a VERY happy customer!

theimagefile have really cracked it. I have been with them for over ten years, and run several websites on their system. Any support response is pretty much instant. The design and page templates exceed expectations and all at a price that must be the envy of their competitors. Totally cost-effective. The sales side of theimagefile is equally comprehensive. If you want to display your work and sell it, use theimagefile.
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.
I am seriously impressed. Thank you to all at theimagefile!

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... and hey presto we are up and running. I am truly bowled over - THANK YOU
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.
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.
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.
