How to sell photo prints and downloads with Pixpa

Selling runs through e-commerce galleries. Here’s the full setup, from upload to first sale.

Fulfillment

Sell prints with the fulfillment you choose

Most platforms lock you to one print partner. Pixpa gives you three paths, set per gallery.

  • WHCC, automated

    Connect WHCC and orders are printed and shipped automatically. You never touch the order.

  • Your own lab

    Already work with a local or specialist lab? Connect any lab that accepts order details by email. Your relationship, your quality control.

  • Self-fulfillment

    Print and ship yourself when you want full say over paper, packaging, and how the order arrives.

Artists and illustrators, too. Sell art prints, illustration, and fine-art editions the same way, straight from your artist portfolio site.

“I love being able to show a clean portfolio but also sell prints in the integrated e-commerce system. Great stuff.”

Digital Downloads

Sell digital downloads, delivered instantly

Sell files as instant downloads from the same gallery. The buyer pays and the full-resolution files deliver automatically, with nothing to send by hand.

  • Instant, hands-off delivery

    Buyer pays, file delivers. High-resolution images transfer securely with nothing to send by hand.

  • Priced your way

    Set a price per file or per package, the same way you price prints. Ideal for stock licensing, event coverage, and digital-only packages.

“I easily can show my work to potential clients and also in an easy way sell my pictures.”

What Happens Next

Keep 100% of every sale, zero commission

With Pixpa you keep 100% of every sale. Sell the same photos through a stock marketplace and you keep just 15 to 40%: Shutterstock pays 15 to 40%, Adobe Stock a flat 33%, and the platform keeps the rest. Pixpa takes zero commission. The price you set is what you keep, minus only your payment processor’s standard fee.

The trade is traffic: a marketplace sends you visitors, your storefront you market yourself. For photographers selling to people who already know their work — clients, couples, event guests, followers — the storefront wins on margin and ownership.

“The ability to sell digital prints directly from the website.”

Your own site

Buyers find your work, see your name, and pay your price. You own the customer relationship.

  • Zero commission — keep 100%
  • Your prices, your rules
  • You own the customer

A marketplace

Wider reach, but a cut of every sale, their rules, and the customer stays theirs, not yours.

  • 15–40% commission (Shutterstock)
  • 33% flat (Adobe Stock)
  • Their platform, their customer

How do I sell photos online?

Create an e-commerce gallery on your Pixpa website, upload your photos, set a price list for prints and downloads, and publish. Buyers browse the gallery, pay on your site, and receive their files or prints. You don't need a separate store or a marketplace account.

Sell prints directly from your own website rather than a marketplace, so you keep the full margin and control the buyer experience. With Pixpa, you set print sizes and prices, then route orders to WHCC, your own lab, or yourself for fulfillment.

You can sell prints straight from your portfolio site using e-commerce galleries, or privately to booked clients through client galleries. Both let buyers order prints and downloads without leaving your site.

If buyers already know your work, sell from your own site: you keep the full margin, set your own prices, and own the customer. Marketplaces give wider reach but take a commission and price you against everyone else. Pixpa runs the storefront on your existing website, so you don't choose between selling and showcasing.

Most sell either through a marketplace or directly from their portfolio website. Selling from the site keeps the full margin and routes print orders to a lab like WHCC, your own lab, or self-fulfillment. Pixpa's e-commerce galleries handle this without a separate store.

Yes. Pixpa takes zero commission on print and download sales. You keep the full price you set, minus only the standard fee charged by Stripe or PayPal.

Yes. A single gallery can sell physical prints and high-resolution digital files. You set separate prices for each, and downloads deliver to the buyer automatically once they pay.

Yes. Alongside automated WHCC fulfillment, you can connect any print lab that accepts order details by email, or fulfill orders yourself. The choice is set per gallery.

No. E-commerce galleries handle selling on their own, so you can take orders without building out a full store first. If you also sell products or services, a full online store runs on the same site.

Yes. Pixpa has a 15-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can build a gallery and test the full selling workflow before you pay.
