I've had some questions asked about the Pixieset store and wanted to cover how to start your store (It's quick and easy!), we'll cover starting it, making price sheets, and applying that store to a collection. I hope this helps you and I always enjoy feedback!

oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this!! I didn't realize Pixieset has the print option until a friend of mine was asking how she could do it and digging around brought me to your video! Your video brought a lot of clarity and I'm super thankful!!

[@njnelson]

You're most welcome! So glad I could help!!

[@hasinakassam]

i've been pulling my hair trying to figure out the store function w/ pixieset and I just want to say THANK YOU for your tutorial. its helped me so much!!

[@njnelson]

Happy I could help!

[@tedk2814]

Great tutorial Noah, the perfect speed and pleasant voice, no loud "background music" where I struggle to hear the speaker. I'm a new Pixiset user so this is very helpful. I already use Millers Lab with a gallery app called Photoday, for high volume school and sport theme photos. I will check out part 2. Good deal on the Scripture Art, , Ted in Sebastian, Fl.

[@njnelson]

Thank you! I appreciate it! Good, I'm glad it was helpful! Interesting I'll have to look into that for a full mobile experience. Thanks!

[@giulianabacoccini8919]

Thank you for this video Noah, super helpful!

[@njnelson]

Glad to hear it, you're welcome!

Just wanted to say great video and we’ll explained. This is what I am looking to do and learn to take my photography business to the next level. I use them for my website. And soon to transition from Honey Book to this for my billing and contract work.

[@njnelson]

Thank you! Pixieset has continued to implement many updates that is making it a fantastic all in one platform for a photography or even videography business!

[@joseCEO]

thank you thank you I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SET UP MY STORE, its was soooo confusing

[@njnelson]

Awesome! I'm so glad to hear it! You're most welcome!

[@lucasnicotra]

Thanks for making this video! Love the scriptures!

[@njnelson]

You're most welcome! Thank you!

[@renangarzon4329]

I recommend that you keep the mindset of making the most amount of profit on your work. Remember your talent has to get paid and your equipment and your time also has to get paid. Remember it's not their image that you're selling, it's your work that they are buying.

[@njnelson]

Great input, thanks!

Finally, the video I needed 🙌

[@sylviasantosphotography]

Beautiful work and scriptures!! Praise the Lord!

[@pelikulabyfrance]

Please make the video on integrating the Pixieset store into the Pixieset website! Thank you for this useful information :)

[@msmillionaire71]

I sincerely appreciate your tutorial. God lead me to your video. I understood it perfectly!! You are a blessed young person and I pray God continues to bless you!

[@njnelson]

I'm so happy for that! Good! Thank you! I appreciate that very much!

[@ivanbeltranphotography2020]

Thank u friend 😊

[@Grippersarecute]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! Answered some questions I had!

[@njnelson]

You're most welcome! I'm glad I was able to help!

[@angelg-tv9420]

This is great! Thank you. I have a question. If photographing school portraits where the parents have already prepaid for their child's portrait. How can I then create a package (since they've prepaid) which will allow them to choose the following: 1 8x10, 2 5x7 and 8 wallets. So all the parents would need to do is pick their photos and the store front will ship it to the lab for printing and dropship directly to them? I am trying to wrap my head around how I would pay the lap separately but I would like to use pixiset to deliver. Thanks!

[@njnelson]

Hi there! I think the way you could accomplish this is to provide them with a gift card in the exact amount needed to pay for those exact prints (the package price). You can make packages within the store that include the 8x10, 5x7 and wallet. I'm working on this exact video right now!

[@CharlieCooper2008]

From my understanding pixieset take 15% for the free subscription. You have to take into account charges for payment processing like PayPal. If you use the base price list you could end up owing money after charges are taken so it is important you check what your revenue will be prior to using the base figures. A markup or price adjustment may be essential. I'm not sure but markup is bulk price increase but you can change individual prices on the price input box.

[@njnelson]

Definitely an interesting way to think about it. Yeah I'm honestly not exactly sure how that would work. If it's something you're concerned about I'm sure Pixieset's support could answer any questions you might have about that specifically. Thanks for watching!

[@tedk2814]

HI Charlie, right now I use a gallery called "Photoday" for high volume/school sport theme photos with Millers Lab. Clients log in to Photoday, view the gallery, order prints/products and pay all on a mobile device. Millers ships to the client. So here is where your question is valid, this whole process costs me 12%. Phototoday, Millers and Stripe take a cut. But I don't do anything but photographic stuff. Photoday doesn't charge a monthly fee for storage or membership. I'm new to Pixieset so will try free for a bit to see how it goes. I like it so far, very professional looking, will use both probably,

[@CharlieCooper2008]

Hi Ted, yes it sounds similar except photoday's cheaper 12%. I use Loxley lab who take a cut to produce and ship the photos. However, I discovered a free website as well as just the shop feature I can use in pixieset and a future release of a client booking and invoicing feature coming soon. Not sure if this will be a subscription or free.

[@njnelson]

Thanks for all the info! Those are labs I'll have to check out! I haven't been looking for another sight mainly cause of how happy I've been with Pixieset but it's good to hear that there are other good options out there! Thank you for both your inputs!

[@lilianarachelphotography1384]

Great video.:) Just started using Pixieset.

[@njnelson]

Thank you! Great to hear!

[@Learnmartialartsandparkour]

Rock on bud got a sub here. Great tutorial and to the point 🔥

[@njnelson]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@matthewherro3911]

Hey, what do you do regarding the print size? Uploading for web would be different for print.. what do you do with your exports to cater to this? Thanks

[@njnelson]

Great question! I deliver full resolution images to all my clients so when exporting in Lighroom I export at full resolution, full size. That way any prints that they order will be coming from the full res file.

[@productionphoto5562]

thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@njnelson]

You're welcome!

[@jadefemi8310]

thanks for the video bro. can you put me through how to had fulfilment product?

[@astello8893]

Just came across your channel!! Great content! Looking forward to more.. subscribed!!

[@njnelson]

Thank you sir! I appreciate it!

[@claudiagoodwinfilms]

This was SO helpful! Could you make a video on how you actually get your clients to use your store instead of just downloading and printing on their own at some cheap place? Maybe show your emails with clients who have used your shop / explain what you say throughout your experience with your client / if its on your pricing sheet / etc!

[@njnelson]

Thank you!! I'm really glad! I will think on that and try to get back to you!

[@rachelweaver95]

Don’t give them a print release with the digital download. In your photography contract state that you will be the only method for acquiring prints.

[@Apollo_Of_The_Arts]

Do i need to disable downloads in the collection until after a client pays?

[@njnelson]

Yes, to be on the safe side that's what you would need to do.

[@tylerfayosephotography]

Hey thanks for This video. just a question I have, if you watermark your photos when people downloads them does it automatically remove the watermark? Thank you

[@njnelson]

If you added the watermark on Pixieset then yes I believe the watermark will be removed when they download it. Although in the settings you might be able to set if you want the watermark to be removed or not.

[@pematamang9268]

It it Pixieset great portfolio for showing photos to clients or Brand????

[@njnelson]

I think it definitely can be! There's lots of customization so you can make it look exactly how you like it!

[@paytonvanvors]

what is the purpose of having multiple pricing sheets? I see you have different sheets for each fulfillment option - how are these different?

[@njnelson]

Great question! One reason is that a few years ago those prices sheets were in there by default and so I haven't bothered to delete them yet. The difference would be that if someone ordered a print it would be going to that specific company. Now Pixieset supports automatic fulfillment so Pixieset figures out which company to send it to for the best results.

[@paytonvanvors]

@@njnelson wonderful - and each of the labs color correction requirements/settings are the same?

[@njnelson]

I believe so! If I remember correctly they actually give you the option if you want the lab to color correct or not. I'll link you to a help section about this. I've been amazed at how open Pixieset is about basically anything on their site!

[@paytonvanvors]

@@njnelson thank you!

[@TRULYBLESSED38]

What is the minimum order amount you can put for your price sheet ?

[@njnelson]

You can set it so there is no minimum actually. So they could buy just one item and be all good.

[@ivanigphotovideo8626]

Can my clients make a photobook in the store?

[@njnelson]

Pixieset recently added Photobooks within their store offerings, so YES!

[@michaelfrymus]

They cant ship the prints/products to me, and only directly to the client? What does the markup mean?

[@njnelson]

That's correct unless you end up ordering the prints yourself. The markup would be the amount of $ you make an each print sale. So if it's a $10 print for example, mark up is $5, the client pays $15, 10 of that goes to the printing lab (or pixieset) and you collect the $5 markup.

[@isonny2010]

Whqt this video did not explain well is the mark up, pixieset designed such a simplified wwy to show how much you can earn from each print but leaving out the processing cost of the transaction, Say you selling a 12x18 print for $70 (markup 300%) the print cost of $17.25 and your Pixifi is taking $7.50 (15%) and the processor takes about 2,9% so that's $1.50). Your COGS is really $17.25 print + $7.50 Pixifi + $1.50 processing = $26.25 So all these costs you around 38% from one print

[@alanvandever9683]

I really HATE it when they jump over things!!!! After getting the price sheet done he says, "I jump over to my collection," and he clicks in the corner and his collection magically appears!!!! Except I see no where over there that brings up any collections!!!!! You watch the whole damn thing and none of it helps without that piece of information!!!!

[@njnelson]

I'm sorry about the confusion! Feel free to watch a previous video of mine which will hopefully help you find your way around the Pixieset website and collections! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4KnqYqkpdutb8k

Dude, you have good information but you ramble about instead of getting to the point of the video; more information less rambling please.
