Actions & Scripts - eCommerce Web Galleries - Features
Photoshop Services Web Galleries run on your own web hosting, so there are no per image, event, monthly or commission charges. This is just a one time purchase of the script which creates all images variations and web pages, costing £75 (£100 with assisted installation).
Runs on Windows or Mac - CS, CS2, CS3
The script requires Photoshop - either version CS, CS2 or CS3. It is cross-platform and runs equally well on both Windows and Mac operating systems. Currently English only.
No Technical Knowledge Needed - No Complicated Editing of Text Files
You don't need to know any HTML, CSS, Javascript, or any other programming language. There's no editing of text files. The setup for each gallery is done in the Web Galleries Dialog Box, and the global cart setup is via a web based interface (which I can do for you). As you can see from the instructions, it's all quite straightforward. Once the gallery is created, you do need to know how to upload them on to your website, but there's instructions for that too. :-)
Use With Any Web Hosting - No SSL Certificate Needed
The galleries use only standard HTML, CSS and Javascript, which means they should run perfectly on any web server. As all payments are either handled by third-party merchant services or stored on Mal's secure server, you don't need to purchase a SSL Certificate.
Lots of Options
You can see from the screenshots that you have lots of choice, but all of those choices are made in a simple interface. It evens retains your settings ready to reuse next time!
Each Gallery Can Offer Different Prices
The look, products and prices are set at the time you create the gallery, so there are no limits to how many different price lists you can have. If you regularly use multiple price lists, take advantage of the 'save' and 'load' buttons to easily switch between settings.
Images Can Be Viewed in B&W, Sepia, and Extra Large
You can choose to show the images just in colour, or also in black & white and/or sepia. There is also an option for an extra large view in a new window - but only if you choose.
Image Protection
Your images are saved as background images covered by a transparent file, preventing saving via right-click on all browsers. You can also choose one of many different copyright watermark options to further protect your images if you wish.
Clean Simple Layout For Your Customers Integrates With Your Website
The clean simple layout of the gallery is easy for your customers to navigate. The colours can be set to match your existing website for a seamless integration.
Online Payment Options
The shopping cart back end is run by Mal's eCommerce, a well known free cart service, offering multiple payment options with a simple interface. More details are available at http://www.mals-e.com/. You can collect credit/debit card details on Mal's secure server, and therefore use your own merchant account*, or use a third party processor such as PayPal, NoChex, SecPay, WorldPay, and others listed here. You can also choose to have customers send a cheque or phone with their card details, for those who prefer not to enter their card details online. Through Mal's, you can offer discounts, vouchers, automated confirmation emails, tiered shipping rates, complicated tax calculations... just about anything you could want!
