sell individual photo separate from gallery

[rick_od]

i have a unique question.

if i have a gallery of photos, and a customer wants to purchase one of those photos, am i able to email this customer a link to this one photo? yes, they could order it directly from the gallery but some of my customers would prefer i email them one link to a photo so they dont have to search the gallery for it?

thanks!

disregard

i found where to generate the link.

when i do generate a link, does it attach a price list to it?

thanks!

Easiest way is to go to your front end and go to the photo details page of the photo in question and copy the link and then email it to your customer.

but will it also give them the pricing options from that gallery?

Sorry I’m probably not understanding your question fully.

I assumed that you want your prospective customer to see the photo and if they want to buy it then they can via the pricing table. This is why I gave those instructions because the details page contains both the photo and the ability to purchase.

Otherwise if you just send them a photo with no pricing what do they do when they want to buy it? Search through the photos in the gallery?

if i send a customer a custom link to a specific photo, are they able to buy it directly from that link? or does it just redirect them to the gallery that the picture resides in where they could then buy it? i would like the option of sending a customer a specific link for a photo purchase without having to have it in a gallery of photos.

make any sense?

thanks!

Which custom link are you referring to? There are download links you can generate from the Admin Functions menu where you can generate a lower resolution photo for them to view. But if they want to buy it you will need to send them the photo details page link so they can add to cart.

The only page where they can view the single photo a page with the option of buying, is the photo details page. As you know, this of course displays individual photos which are part of a gallery.Sounds like you want a photo inside its own gallery with no other photos. Maybe that’s what you should do for the selected customers who require the scenario you mentioned.
