Hi,

a. You can add the low res images as "images" of your products. HikaShop has a watermark system in order to add a watermark to each image you upload via the "images" area of your products.

b. You can add the high res images as "files" of your products and add such time/number of download restrictions to the downloads in the configuration.

c. You can use custom product fields in order to add classification information to each product and then use filters so that your customers can filter the products on that information.

d. Once you've added one product per photo, you can have products listings for your photo gallery.

e. You could use custom product fields to add the licence information to you products. The pricesare handled by default by HikaShop since it's an ecommerce solution and not a catalog.

f. g. we don't have a list of all the websites using HikaShop with what they are doing with it so I can't provide that but I know that several users already sell photos with HikaShop as I remember seeing their websites for support questions.

Hi,

Yes, you can upload the real image under the "Files" section of the product edition page so that it will be available to the customer after the purchase.
