Ideas
Seven ideas taken from sites in this gallery. The first four hold for any portfolio. The last three are specific to selling.
Show fewer pieces than you want to
Every extra item dilutes the ones that sell. Cut until it hurts, then cut one more.
Lead with one strong image, not a menu
The first thing a visitor sees should be work, not navigation.
Put contact one click from everywhere
Buyers ask questions before they buy. Make asking trivial.
Own the domain
A shop on someone else's subdomain reads as a hobby, and you cannot take it with you.
Put the shop in the top-level nav, not inside a dropdown
A buyer who has to hunt for the shop is a buyer who leaves.
Sort products by what people actually buy, not by when you made them
Newest-first is a diary, not a shop window.
Show the print at the size it ships
A 30x40 that renders at thumbnail size sells like a thumbnail.
Examples
A store is one surface. Most of the ecommerce site examples on this page run two or three at once, from the same dashboard.
Sell prints, downloads and services with zero commission
Physical products, digital downloads and services all sell from the same checkout, on your own domain, through Stripe or PayPal. Pixpa takes no percentage. The only deduction is the processor's fee. Guest checkout is on every plan; discount coupons, shipping rules, inventory management, customer accounts and abandoned-cart recovery scale up the plans.
Sell straight out of a client gallery
Photographers on this page skip the product page entirely. Prints, wall art and digital downloads sell directly from a client gallery, priced per image or by a template applied across the whole gallery, fulfilled automatically through an integrated print lab or by hand through any lab you already use. Zero commission there too.
Publish alongside the shop
The blog is built in, on the same domain. Product stories, process posts and launch notes give the shop something to say between drops, and they give search engines a reason to come back.

An ecommerce website is a site that lists products and takes payment for them, so a visitor can browse, add to a cart and check out without leaving. For a photographer, artist or designer that usually means prints, originals, digital downloads or services sold from the same site that shows the work. The examples on this page are all live sites doing exactly that.
Look at four things: how fast the product images load and how large they render, how few steps sit between the product page and the checkout, whether the shop feels like part of the site or a bolted-on second brand, and whether shipping and delivery terms are findable before checkout rather than after. Design awards are a poor proxy. A shop that answers those four things converts.
In everyday use they mean the same thing. Ecommerce website tends to describe the whole site when selling is its main job. Online store tends to describe the shop section inside a larger site, which is how most photographers, artists and designers run it: a portfolio with a store attached rather than a shop on its own.
Yes, and for most creative professionals that is the better shape. One domain, one design, one login. Every Pixpa plan includes the store, so the portfolio and the shop share the same navigation and the same checkout instead of sitting on two subscriptions.
No. Every site on this page runs on Pixpa, and Pixpa charges zero commission on store and gallery sales. The only deduction is the payment processor's fee from Stripe or PayPal. That is the difference between keeping your margin and handing a percentage of every print sale to your platform.
Physical products such as prints, wall art, books and merchandise; digital downloads such as presets, brushes, fonts and stock files; and services sold as one-off or bundled offerings. Photographers also sell prints and downloads straight out of a client gallery, which skips the product-page step entirely.
It depends on the plan. Pixpa's product limits scale across the Basic, Creator, Professional and Advanced plans, and inventory management, customer accounts and abandoned-cart recovery sit on Advanced. The pricing page lists the current limits for each plan.
Every card in the grid names the template behind the site and links to it. That is the point of the page: you are not looking at concept art, you are looking at a live shop and the template you would start from to build one like it.
Real, live and trading. Every site in the grid belongs to a working Pixpa customer and opens in a preview so you can click through the shop the way a buyer would.
