Can Zen Cart be used for a stock photo website?

Hi,

I have spent a fair while now browsing the site trying to find out if Zen Cart can be used to sell images online? This qould require the following functions..

Being able to have 3 different images sizes. 1 for dieplay with a watermark. 2 as a web size download. 3 as a large format for print size. ( as the site will offer pricing for 2 different sizes).

Would Zen Cart be the best option? For users to search for images etc? using categories i have read about seems great! I just hope the store can do what I need.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Check 'Live Showcase Shops' at the top of this page, and select 'Art, Photography, Museums' to see some examples of what can be done.

Great to hear! I did look through the example sites but all i could see are ones selling Printed art. Or Printed photos.. I only want people to be able to download them.

Thanks again!

You should be able to set up the pricing and sizes as attributes. As stevesh suggested, check around and see what other similar sites are doing.

Zen Cart can definitely handle downloadable goods.
