Looking for photo book and photo calendar online software

[print_geek]

My company takes care of printing. Recently we have also implemented digital printing and we want to expand into the photographic market with printing of photo books and photo calendars. We are therefore looking for an appropriate software for creating and selling online these products. Can anyone tell me which software is easy to implement and not so expensive?

Expense is often relative, it is more about ROI.

Wearing my vendor hat, I would recommend the Accura MIS, with AccuraOnline e-commerce and eDocBuilder+Interactive Designer add ons. It is not just about having W2P, it is about having a seamless end to end workflow that reduces or eliminates manual human touch points. This is a “big picture” viewpoint that you would need to see a presentation of the product to fully appreciate what a MIS+W2P system from the same provider can offer in terms of full live bi-directional feedback between the MIS and W2P system:

Accura MIS W2P – Interactive Designer

I have covered some of these points in previous posts on the subject:

Start with the MIS and look for a compatible W2P


MIS + W2P integration considerations


Another place to start could be if you are just looking for a great W2P engine and a web store:

Check Printbox and see if it fits your needs. This is an online photo book and photo calendar online solution that doesn't cost much (transparent provision-based business model). We can launch you a web store in a few days with your domain and branding and all you need to do is just start selling. Printbox has also many other features besides a beautiful and easy to use online editor with a set of ready to use templates that you might find useful (I can go through all the details if you want to).

Just saw this site the other day for W2P, and they mentioned photobooks as an option. Web To Print, Web2Print Storefront Solutions, Photo Album, Print Shop Software. Designing Tools, VDP, trade printers.

STAY AWAY FROM www.onprintshop.com
We tryed them. Gave them around 7.500 USD before we gave up.
Its a India based company, they cant deliver what they promise (which is everything)
The backend and frontend looked nice though,

Thank you for you suggestions and warning. I will check all the photo products system, before I decide.

Taopix is a brilliant piece of software for digital printers who have a serious business plan to sell photo books etc. Some will regard it expensive, but if you're dipping your toe into the market, then it probably isn't the solution for you. It's a British based Company who have been in the market for a long while serving the Photobook solution space. It works via a standard computer and smart devices such as tablets and mobiles. They work with a number of printer manufacturers and it WORKS. Simple to use for the buyer and simple to manage by the print provider. But like a lot of these type of systems, you need to have a business plan to sell it, otherwise you'll never make money on it.

have a look at Web-to-Print and Design Online Solutions, the price is really cheap, only downside you need to do all the template creation yourself.

Printgeek,
This software is in very wide use: https://www.photofinale.com/ It is a full system including order management. Thousands of photo labs use it and the book and calendar software is good. I use it but am not affiliated with the company.
Consider joining a good group if you want to break into the photo and similar markets: http://theprintrefinery.com/
It takes a bit more than software to be successful - marketing, design content, etc.

There are others like Taopix mentioned above, or Dakis.
