Picsha Posters: styles, pricing, and fulfillment

Picsha Posters turns one customer photo into a vintage travel poster under your brand, with the same people and place drawn in a classic poster style. The customer designs and previews it free. You sell the digital file, the prints, and the mounting, matting, and framing.

What the customer does

1. Uploads one photo, or sends it from their phone or a memory card at your kiosk.
2. Picks a style. Mid-century travel, Belle Époque, National Park, Japanese woodblock, or Art Deco.
3. Adds a title and an optional subtitle, up to 40 characters each, or leaves them blank for no lettering. They can also choose the shape (portrait or landscape), a color palette, and a short special request such as "make the sky stormy".
4. Gets a free preview. About a minute later they see a watermarked poster. They can try again up to three times per photo.
5. Buys what they want. The digital file and your prints, mounting, matting, and framing, with a live preview of the poster in the frame.

Setting up

• Poster styles. Untick any style you don't want to offer. At least one stays on.
• Poster design price. Charged on every order.
• Digital download. The full-resolution poster. Design plus download must total at least $2.99. Untick Offer digital download for a print-only store; the design price alone must then be at least $2.99. To give posters away, use a coupon instead. See Coupons and free orders.
• Print products. Each is its short side in inches. Posters are always a 2:3 sheet, so 12 inches is 12×18, 16 is 16×24, 20 is 20×30, and 24 is 24×36. One product can be Most popular.
• Mounting, framing, and matting. Priced per print product, as in Retouch. Mats are offered once a frame is chosen.
• Finishing options. Under each print product: a surface, a border, gift wrapping — any way you finish prints — with an optional extra cost per copy for each choice. An option that isn't required can be left blank by the customer; otherwise it needs a default. Works as in Retouch; see Retouch pricing.

Poster files are 4K on the long side: 213 DPI at 12×18 and 160 DPI at 16×24, plenty for illustrated art on a wall. Above 24 inches, expect some softness up close.

The ↑ ↓ buttons beside a row set the order customers see it in — in every product list on the page, not just print products.

Fulfilling the order

The order arrives on the Orders card with the poster's thumbnail, and each print shows its size, copies, and any mounting, mat, or frame. The order summary shows the style, the title, and any special request. Click the thumbnail or Poster file to download the clean full-resolution poster. It unlocks after payment and matches the approved preview exactly.

If you run Photogize Lab, the prints can go straight into your Lab's queue instead. See Sending orders to Photogize Lab.

Download the poster file within 30 days of payment. After that it is deleted, along with the customer's photo, and the order shows file expired. See Photo retention.
