Photo Print module
This module enables your customers to easily order print copies of their photos, sourced from their social media accounts or those stored on their computers or phones, directly from your online store. The Photo Print module has been updated to function in 3 modes which are:
  1. Photo with Paper Type selection
  2. Bulk Photo Prints
  3. Vintage Photo Prints
All three modes follow similar photo selection flow, starting with the welcome screen shown below:

This screen offers the customer the interface to import photos from various source or drag them unto the page as displayed. Selected photos will populate the user gallery on the left panel from where they can click to add to the print collection.

​
Photo with Paper Type selection

Enabling the module in this mode will allow you to create a set of preset sizes your customers can select from as well as paper types you offer to print on. This mode is great for few photo prints where you want to offer the customer an option to select paper type on which to print with the quantity against each photo. Once the customer has added a photo, they will see the following pop-up.

This dialog allows them to set the Quantity, Size and Paper type per photo. You can view and try out our demo by clicking here

​
Bulk Photo Prints

This mode is specifically designed to enable customers bulk-order their photo prints with little hassles. No paper selection is required, they simply click to add as many photos as they want printed and set the sizing. Users can select multiple sizes of the same photo as well as set quantities on each size variation. You can view and try out our demo by clicking here This also gives customers few editing features like Rotation, Filters and Position adjustment per photo. By default, the photo is placed to automatically “FIT” the size area but users can then drag and adjust to expose or hide the regions of the photo they want.

​
Vintage Photo Prints

This mode allows your customers to order their prints in different designs you have created as pages. It relies exclusively on the pages inside of a design for sizing and design cues.

Basically, the pages in that design become the sizes. So, if your design has 2 pages first landscape 10 by 5 and a second page 20 by 8, then you’ll have size options of 10x5 and 20x8 for your users to select from. In addition to the sizing, there are a few other rules to be followed in properly creating the design.
1

Create the photo mask

Create a Photo Mask. This should be a plain shape where the photo will go into. Name that mask as “photo” and place a dummy image in there which will be replaced by the customer’s selected photo.
2

Add the caption text

Create a Caption Text and name the item “title”. This will assist the app in finding the item which text corresponds to the caption and update this appropriately when user types in their caption.

Lock elements to prevent the customer from moving things around. This is the general configuration we advise:
