Get to Know Payment Links
Create and share links to start selling your art prints or photos in just minutes.
Published on October 11, 2024
We are consistently coming up with new ways to make it easier for photographers and creatives to sell their work. Our new Payment Links feature allows you to concentrate on your creativity while we take care of the fulfillment process.
After creating a product on our website and adding it to your cart, you can set your own price, share it anywhere, and get paid! Each order is printed on demand and shipped directly to your customers.
How You Can Use Payment Links
If you haven't included online print sales in your offerings, or are looking for extra sales methods for your art or portraiture, Payment Links can help fill that gap. Whether you're selling art prints, collecting payments for custom client projects, or anything in between, Payment Links streamline the process by collecting payment and automatically placing the order for you.
Examples from current users:
- Selling art prints without the overhead of inventory by posting a link to social media, websites, email, or anywhere that artwork is featured to boost sales.
- Selling photos from specific photography events, such as festivals, concerts, world events, and more to prepare for distribution.
- Add-on products from client sessions such as thank-you cards, companion albums, or other post-session purchases.
Payment Links Beta
Our goal at WHCC is to provide you with a suite of tools to help you run a successful business. At the time of publishing, Payment Links are in beta and available to all accounts. During this beta phase, you might notice limited features or experience minor issues. Your feedback is invaluable and will help us shape future features to better support your sales workflow.

We've consolidated expenses and logistics such as managing sales tax, payment processing, transaction fees, and more into one straightforward 4.9% service fee per order, except for items sold at cost. You can focus on creation and marketing without the hassle of hidden costs and shipping logistics associated with managing these elements on your own.
