Sell Media<\/a> is a free WordPress plugin that allows anyone to sell photos, prints or any other digital media directly from your website. The following documentation will help get you rolling so you can start selling your work online.<\/p>\n Sell Media is an open-source project. Feedback and collaboration are highly encouraged!<\/p>\n Sell Media installs just like a normal WordPress plugin:<\/p>\n After you have activated the plugin, you’ll need to do a couple things before you’re able to start selling:<\/p>\n The Sell Media -> Settings page has detailed instructions below each option that quite is self-explanatory. Here is how it looks:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Visit the Sell Media -> Settings -> Payment page in WordPress and add your PayPal Client IDs and Client Secret Keys. You are now ready to receive PayPal payments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you enable Test Mode (Sell Media -> Settings -> General -> Mode) then you must set your PayPal Test Client ID and PayPal Test Client Secret Key.<\/p>\n If you are receiving empty payments with a price of $0, you have an invalid PayPal setting. You need to set PayPal’s IPN Message Format option to \u201cUTF-8\u201d in PayPal. You can do this by following these steps:<\/p>\n If payments aren’t being recorded at all in Sell Media after payment at PayPal, check these possible problems:<\/p>\n All products can be assigned different prices by using the Pricing feature in Sell Media. To add a new Pricing, visit the Sell Media -> Pricing page. Here is how the Pricing feature looks to site owners:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Think of price lists like this:<\/p>\n You shoot photographs for a client or customer and you decide to create a special price list for all the photos that you shot. You could create a price list for this. Example:<\/p>\n Pricelist 1 (Cheap)<\/strong><\/p>\n Pricelist 2 (Expensive)<\/strong><\/p>\n Pricelists allow you to create and assign different price options to different photographs. Each option within the Pricelist you create becomes available to your buyers to purchase, so always make sure that the image you’re selling is big enough to be sold at the sizes you specify within your Pricelists.<\/p>\n The Licenses feature in Sell Media allows store owners to add and assign usage licenses to products sold. Buyers must select their appropriate usage license on the cart when purchasing the product.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For example, if you’re a photographer, you might want to increase the price of your images if the buyers intended use is for commercial purposes. Create a new license on the Sell Media -> Licenses page, describe the license and assign markup to to the license. Then, add or edit a product and assign that license as an option for your buyers. You can create an unlimited number of licenses.<\/p>\n Sell Media copies the following IPTC data from all image uploads:<\/p>\n This IPTC data is saved alongside your images in Sell Media. Archive pages are automatically created for each Keyword, Creator, City and State so that, for instance, a buyer could view all images with the Keyword “bikes” or all images shot in, say, New York.<\/p>\n EXIF data (shutter speed, ISO, aperture, etc) can also be displayed alongside single images by adding the EXIF widget to the Sell Media Single Item Sidebar widget area.<\/p>\n When you are ready to add your first product, visit the Sell Media -> Add New page. The page looks like this:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sometimes you might have 10 or 20 or 30 photos that share the same attributes (price, license, etc). Doing this is incredibly simple: Just upload more than one file. If you upload multiple files, the\u00a0page will display like a\u00a0gallery and the price you define below will be for each item in the gallery.<\/p>\n If you plan on selling videos, pdf’s or other non-image files, be sure you:<\/p>\n Any folders\u00a0that you place inside the wp-content\/uploads\/sell_media\/import\/ folder will be listed in the select dropdown box shown in the Bulk Uploading below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Select the folder containing the images (JPG only, sRGB mode only) that you want to add and click Add Files. Please note: Bulk importing can be\u00a0a server-intensive process depending on the quantity\u00a0and size of files\u00a0that you’re importing. The capability of this feature is dependent on the performance of your server. Upload in small batches to ensure all items uploaded are added correctly.<\/p>\n Most image editing software (Lightroom, Aperture, etc) have plugins available for FTPing images to a server. Use these approaches for placing your gallery folders on your server so you can Bulk Upload into Sell Media.<\/p>\n You can edit many products at once using the Bulk Editing feature in WordPress:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shortcodes are small snippets of code that when added to a Post, Page or Widget add functionality to your site. You must add the following shortcodes to your preferred Pages to use Sell Media:<\/p>\n Widgets are optional and can be added to your website on the Appearance -> Widgets page. Sell Media ships with the following widgets:<\/p>\n The shopping cart is displayed only after the Extensions add to the functionality of the core Sell Media plugin. They are not required and can be purchased and downloaded directly from the Sell Media Extensions<\/a> page. Upload an extension just like you would any normal WordPress plugin.<\/p>\nGetting Involved<\/h2>\n
