Why inbox.photo does not manage shipping

From the beginning, inbox.photo has been designed with in-shop delivery in mind. In shop experience generally means no hassle and a quick path to transaction completion.

With this in mind, inbox.photo was designed with no cart management and no customer account. Only three simple steps: customize a product, order it, pick it up in the shop. Payment can occur online at ordering time on in shop at pickup time.

As a side effet, inbox.photo does not manage shipping as it would add complexity and would imply managing a cart to lower the shipping fees per product and managing a customer account for order management and tracking.

For more complex solutions including shipping, we offer Photo Web Shop or Creator Five to be deployed along with an ecommerce environment such as WooCommerce.
