FotoBeans!

Create your online gallery and shopping site effortlessly!

FotoBeans arranges your photos into beautiful galleries, and builds your store automatically.

Simply arrange your images into a few categorized folders on your computer and your galleries are a few clicks and a cup of coffee away! If you use Lightroom, it’s even easier; set up your gallery collections and click “publish”. This makes adding new images a breeze.

Either way, your titles and captions go along for the ride to appear beautifully on your site.

Want your own domain name? Not a problem; we’ll help you get it and set it up so your site appears as its own.

Let’s talk shopping!

Want a store? After your gallery is set up, creating a store is an easy next step. We asked photographers what features they wanted, and how we could make set-up as easy as possible. We found that some photographers want to manage their own printing and delivery, while others would like us to handle it. So our software will let you do it either way.

Next, we found that photographers wanted to determine their own pricing, and do it easily. We developed a system that eliminates the daunting chore of pricing each image individually.

How? You enter your basic hard costs by image-size and paper-type. Our cost-based pricing module first determines your hard costs by image-size and paper-type. (If you use us as fulfillment partner, the costs are entered automatically.) For any image it can then determine hard cost for all sizes and paper combinations!

Then we make this pricing easy, by letting you enter mark-up schemes. You can start with a default set and then create additional ones when, say, you want to set a higher price for an image.

, you can simply assign it another mark-up class figures and then higher or lower tiers as needed on an image by image basis. For any given image, you can leave pricing at default markups or simply enter another mark-up tier. This gives you the power to dial-in higher mark-ups for lower-cost items.

It’s magic!

Then the magic begins: our software “sees” the dimensions of each of your images to determine the allowable paper sizes and pricing. So when a customer clicks on an image, they only see allowable sizes and paper-types for that image.

This eliminates the tedious process of individually pricing dozens or even hundreds of images! As flexible as this pricing system is, we know you may have premium images you want to price higher, or others you want to discount. No problem! – our software allows you to easily override the general pricing for individual images. It’s also easy to offer up-sell discounting that encourages customers to buy additional photographs.
