Wix Photo Albums: Setting Up Your Photo Albums Store
Important:
Wix Photo Albums Store is not available to all users. As of February 2023, it is no longer possible to add Wix Photo Albums Store to your site. As an alternative, you can add Wix Stores to your site and connect it to Printful to sell your photos.
To accept payments on your site, you'll need to have a Business & eCommerce Premium plan. Learn more about accepting payments.
You can sell your digital or photo prints from your site with the Wix Photo Albums Store. Once you create an album, you can choose to sell digital and prints or digital images only:
Sell Digital and Prints: Wix Photo Albums works with a third-party service, Order a Print to provide you with even more options when selling your printed photos. This is a great option to choose if you want to incorporate digital downloads and also a variety of canvases, mugs etc.
Sell Digital Images Only: Visitors can purchase and download your image files directly from your site in just a few simple steps. Note: Wix automatically adds a watermark to your photos to protect them.
Since the Wix Photo Albums Store is only available for new albums, if you already have an album, you'll need to create a new one to sell your photos.
