Hello everyone,
I am tring to determine if the following is possible from a customization standpoint...
I want to have customers check out in smugmug, but I can't utilize the smugmug printing options because my business is in Vietnam. Instead, when a customer checks out, I need to be notify my printer here in Saigon that an order has been placed and they can then do the printing and send to the customer here. I wanted to notify them via email if possible; therefore I'd need to be able to create some custom functionality to create an email with the order details in it and send it to the correct email address.

Does anyone know if this is possible. I'm trying to find an international solution to selling my photography that doesn't include international shipping!
Thanks,
Sherry

I'm not aware of any way to use the smugmug buy and cart to do this. If an item is placed in the cart then it is printed by either EZ Prints or Bay Photos (http://www.smugmug.com/help/choice-of-printing-labs), depending on how you have the gallery set up.

The only way I know of to process orders elsewhere is to add your own checkout via something like paypal or google checkout. Do a search here in dgrin looking for paypal and you will see a number of threads, including this one - How to add a PayPal shopping cart to your site!
