Fotomoto is a service that lets photographers sell photos directly from own their own websites in a simple and direct way.
How does it works?
This service works by offering a few lines of java script code, after which the images are automatically provided with a ‘Buy It Now’ link.
Sellers can change the settings so the ‘buy’ links appear completely integrated and branded to match their sites’ look and feel, and the back-end of the tool enables them to set the availability next to the sizes and pricing of the photos.
When visitors click the link to buy photos, a Fotomoto widget pops up and enables them to instantly purchase images. There’s also a sharing link, which lets people send the picture to others as an e-card.
Handles Backhand Processing
Fotomoto also handles all order processing and then prints packages and ships the purchased photos to customers. Its control panel allows users to set the pricing and availability of their photos, manage their orders and even track analytics data such as how many times a particular photo has been viewed or sent as an e-card.

That way you can search for pictures without leaving your workspace, always referring back to your original work and staying in context.
