A photo store of your own
Sell your photographs and keep all of it.
Your clients pick the frames they want and pay you directly, however you already take money. You release the full-resolution files. Vendpic hosts and protects the work and takes nothing from the sale.
Ask for an invitation $60 a year, no commission
Vendpic is taking photographers a few at a time. Leave your address and we will send you an invitation.
Try it
Pick two photographs.
This is the part that is hard to describe and takes ten seconds to understand. Choose a couple of frames the way a client would.
Nothing picked yet. $25 each, or $180 for the whole gallery.
What your client gets
Show this number to your photographer and pay them. Your downloads appear on this page the moment they mark it paid.
No account, no card, nothing to sign up for. They pay you in cash, by transfer, on your card reader, whatever you already do.

Nothing leaves your store until you press this. You are the one who decides an order has been paid.
Released
The watermark comes off, and the money is already in your pocket.
The money
Nobody takes a slice, because nobody handles the money.
Your client pays you directly, so there is no commission for us to charge and no card processor in the middle taking its own cut. Vendpic costs sixty dollars a year and that is the entire bill.
A $600 gallery
You keep all $600. Run the same sale through a platform checkout and card processing alone takes about $17.70 of it, at Stripe’s 2.9% plus 30 cents, before any commission.
Where commissions bite
Zenfolio charges a 7% commerce fee on every order. PhotoShelter charges 8% to 30% depending on your plan. Pixieset, CloudSpot and Pic-Time charge 15% on their free tiers.
A single $60 order
Pays for the whole year. Everything after it is yours, however many galleries you sell.
Rates as published on each platform’s own pricing pages, checked 27 August 2026. To be fair about it: ShootProof and Format charge no commission at all, and the paid tiers of Pixieset and CloudSpot drop to zero as well. What none of them avoid is the card processor, because the payment still runs through their checkout.
What comes with a store
Watermarked on our servers
Write whatever you want across your previews: your studio name, your website, or just PROOF. It is composited in before the file is stored, not drawn in the browser, so there is no clean copy behind the mark and no browser setting that produces one.
Originals released by you
Nobody gets a full-resolution file until you mark the order paid. Released links last thirty days, and you can re-issue one in a tap when a client loses it.
One gallery per shoot
A wedding, a recital, a race, a session, a match. Each gets its own address on your store. Draft it while you cull, publish it when you are ready.
Your prices
A price per photograph, and optionally one price for a whole gallery. Someone who picks every frame is charged the gallery price rather than the larger sum.
Nothing for your clients to join
They pick, they get a number, they pay you. No account, no password, no card details handed to a stranger.
A record of every sale
Which frames went out, what you collected, and what is still owed. On your own dashboard, not in a shoebox.
Invite-only, for now
Ask for an invitation.
Vendpic is letting photographers in a few at a time, so the first ones get looked after properly. Leave your address and we will write to you when there is a place.
Setting up takes about five minutes once you are in: a store name, your watermark, and your first gallery. Already have an invitation? Open your store.
