Custom Pro Pricing-How To

[SUpperman]

I have the routine down for pricing different products at different prices or not making them available for the pictures in a gallery. I like the way that works.

How do I set the prices for all products so nothing is available for sale for one or more pictures in a gallery? (ie, view only) I tried today with no luck.

If you set $0 for any type of product, you will not be able to purchase it (unless you are logged in to your own account then you can purchase anything). So if you set $0 for every product, nobody can buy anything; if you set $0 for the T-Shirts and the mousepads and all of that stuff, people will only be able to buy prints and so on.

The way I do it is;

In custom pro pricing menu

jump to pricing>gallery

quick pricing:Custom: $0
products: all products

click apply

Then I set prices for the procucts I want to sell.

Not sure if that is what you were asking:D

Thanks for the help. :thumb It seems my problem was that I was checking the prices while I was logged in.

The important thing I have to remember is to check the prices (and everything else) while logged out.

As soon as you click refresh on your logged out browser, it will appear logged in if you're logged in in another browser window. Assuming it's the same browser. I suppose you could use IE and Safari / Firefox simultaneously and that would work...

Here's my fool-proof way to set pro pricing:

I set the prices for my whole portfolio to my standard price that I've calculated for the profit I want. That way, any new gallery you create or image you upload won't, even for a split second, allow anyone to purchase anything at smugmug's base price, ever.

Then, from there I edit each individual print according to the dimensions I want it to be sold as. Meaning, I set the price for every item to $0.00 and then I delete the boxes for which I want the portfolio price to apply. Of course if it's a wedding gallery and I want all print sizes within a certain size to be available I can edit a whole gallery at a time, but usually prints in my nature photogrpahy galleries are not all the same aspect ratio...

Okay, Baldy, JT, OneThumb, anyone, can you guys please make it easier to deal with the prices of prints? We have some, meh, okay workarounds but I think we'd all really appreciate a way to be able to set our prices and then to be able to stay logged in to view the prices that we've set.

There just has to be an easier way.
