At it's Core, SimplePhoto is a Powerful Photo Sales System
For different reasons, some studios post a great volume of images without transacting many online sales. Since SimplePhoto collects most of its fees by commission, we have a solution that allows SimplePhoto to serve this type of photographer as well as our traditional high-selling photographer members:
Photographers that have over 50,000 images online must have $1,000 in average monthly retail sales* for every 100,000 images online. Photographers that meet this criteria will only be charged their $70 Premium Membership Fee plus 5% commission on total sales.
Photographers who do not meet this threshold of $1,000 average monthly retail sales per 100,000 images online will be charged 1 cent per image online during the previous month in addition to their $70 Premium Membership fee. (The number of images online is defined as the maximum number of images online at any one time during a month.)
* If your photography service does not sell at this rate or better, SimplePhoto will offer free sales consulting and "spring cleaning" of your account to help your studio avoid any hosting charges. All members that fall into this situation will be notified 30 to 60 days prior to being charged additional fees. Our intentions are to help these photographers sell more online, not charge them per image fees.
