Sunshine Photo Cart – Client Photo Gallery & Photo Proofing for Photographers

I am a bit of a techie and got sick of Smugmug and the others and their limited customizations so I finally decided to just create my own site. I am a sports photographer though and needed the ability to sell. Looked into Sunshine Photo Cart and gave it a try.

While beginners may have some issues, once you get it all set up and everything, the plugin is absolutely amazing! The best part however is the support. Derek works hard to support his plugin and honestly provides some of the best support you can find….no matter how annoying the client is 🙂

Definitely recommend.

I cannot recommend this enough! This plugin offers a great solution to sell photos and photo products, the UI is easy and attractive on the front end, back end is well designed, functionality is spot on. I contacted the developer during a site build and they were extremely helpful and quick to respond, they invite suggestions and are making continual improvements.

This plugin is fantastic! I cover sporting events producing a large number of images, and Sunshine handles them with ease. Day to day issues have been non existent, and the few issues I’ve had during set up have been dealt with quickly and efficiently, without any issues. Derek’s customer service is second to none! I would recommend this plugin to anyone, for it’s flexibility, ease of use and customer care, outstanding! Richard

Sunshine Photo Cart is, quite simply, the best e-commerce solution for photographers. 

I am a WordPress web developer as well as a photographer and photography based websites rank as being one of the most awkward to get right with all the required functionality if you are wishing to sell your work. 

I have tried a large number of alternative plugins for showcasing and selling photography, but non of these alternatives provide the seamless workflow that Sunshine provides. 

Those of you who are familiar with WooCommerce and other gallery plugins will know that creating individual products for all of your images is untenable. The payment gateways provided through Sunshine are also a breeze to set-up.

The magic behind Sunshine and the foresight of its creator Derek Ashauer is that once you have the plugin settings sorted, the task of uploading new images becomes effortless.

The admin is well thought out and great to work with. Once set up, products are created without any further faffing around and having your images ordered correctly by capture date is an invaluable feature that many people will appreciate – especially with large galleries which need to be chronological. I failed to find another gallery plugin that did this properly, if at all.

With some coding knowledge, one can make everything look as required to personal taste and there are some wonderful admin tools to clean-up and maintain the plugin.

If you are a photographer who wishes to both display and sell your work, there is no better solution and Derek’s support is fantastic.

After using an old depreciated plugin to sell photos, and hacking the code to do what I wanted, I stumbled across the Sunshine Photo Seller Plugin. I was completely blown away how robust and polished this software was. The integration it has with the different payment platforms is just insane. There are so many configuration options to make it look and feel exactly the way you want. Any issues I had with it were a result of how I had things set up on my server, which Derek was awesome at helping me track down. I recommend this plugin 1000% if you need to sell photos on your website.
