    Hi Everyone, long time reader, first time poster with a tricky problem.

    Does anyone know any services (preferably based in Ireland) where users of a website can select photos they wish to print and have them delivered to their door. The users workflow would be something along the lines of:

    1. User visits our website, selects photos from our photo archive to have printed (photos are hosted on our server).
    2. The selected photos (the high-res versions which are not available to the public) are sent to a 3rd party photo printing shop.
    3. User inputs their payment, printing preferences and delivery details to the 3rd party store.
    I have searched the usual places and found some information, but no real leads. What would be ideal would be a Fujifilm (for example) API that we could plug into our custom CMS that would handle all this.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thanks for the link. However all we can do with this site is upload our photos to their gallery and print from there. Which is great, but not what we need.

    What we need to do is have the photos on our gallery, with a 'order print' button which sends the selected photos and the user to a 3rd party printing site where they can complete the printing / delivery process.

    Thanks for your help though :)

    Sounds like something you will have to source. Go to http://www.stronges.ie/index-4.html

    Ask for Gerry. I know he does similar work for www.galwaynews.ie

    People can go to there site and print photos from there archive. Its printed by Stronges (Fujifilm Frontier Minilab) and posted back.

    Hes a nice guy and im sure he would be willing to discuss it with you.

    Good luck
