Selling Photo Books

Note: Selling Photo Books for a profit is exclusive to Pro and Advanced account subscribers.



Photo Books are available from our vendor partners Mpix and MpixPro powered by Miller's Lab for sale through the shopping cart. There are several templates available for customers to select from, each with different options.

In addition to selling Photo Books, the option is also available to provide clients with an easy photo album design service, through which they can have a custom hand-made photo album designed and printed for them.



Please note: For a photo to be printable on photo books, the photo must have at least 250 pixels per inch or higher
