Anyone looking to add a 1 click buy button to their online gallery might want to take a look at Google's new offering.

Google checkout (http://checkout.google.com)

Looks like 2% + a non refundable .2%.  (So if you get screwed by a customer you lose .2%.)

Anywho.  Just been looking at shopping carts and whatnot and that popped up today.  Way less of a pain that integrating zen cart into a gallery.

In a perfect world they put the devil paypal out of business.

What I really want is someone like a dot photo to do a similar thing except they take the order, print and mail.  (All from a single buy button rather than directing people to your dot photo gallery.)  If anyone knows of a place that does that please let me know.

Imagine how cool it would be if you could also get them to take the photograph.

Are you offering a service for that?

Now, there's an idea!

It would certainly improve the quality of the photos.

As I'm just looking to sell some stuff in the $20 range (my Mom is unwilling to spend beyond that even though she claims to love me) we aren't exactly talking fine art here.

How about you take the photograph, I sign it, and we split the proceeds!

I started around that price and now start at $200 or so.
