Selling your own merchandise :)

I noticed that too, but you see that disclaimer everywhere .

Well, only if you actually read the disclaimers you see everywhere...     The only reason I read in that much detail is that I saw something that looked like possible loss of copyright/trademark based on the wording, but the next section cleared it up.

To answer my own question from earlier, the store options do allow you to set a separate picture for front and back.

I'm curious, to get the store within your site (i.e. yourdomain.com/store/ as opposed to cafepress.com/yourstore/) did you just copy the code they produced into your own page and place the correct path to images?  I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work, although it would make changing things quite a pain.  Is there a simpler way that I've missed?

I did do that...but I didn't change the location of the "zoomed" images.  I left those on the Cafepress site.  When I get around to it, I'll move those over too .

It wasn't too much of a pain, compared to some other pages I've had to figure out!

Sorry, by "pain" I meant if you later change anything in your store such as prices, graphics, sizes, new offerings, etc.  Automation is my friend!

Yes Joi, I had just discovered that, DUH, I left out the head java script on the final page, Geezzzzz, you'd think I'd be smarter than that by now

Anyway, the image swaps are fixed now, and I have all the images on my site so that if the site is running I'll know that they are working!!!!

(and I bet we here at FQ have a better up time than Cafepress does,  

The copying of the code was Joi's idea and I am so glad I saw what she had done, cause in my Duhness, I never thought of it!!!!!!  That's what makes this look so good, in my opinion, that we can incorporate the actual products on our own web sites, and don't have to just have a link to an outside source to see them!!!!

Thanks once again Joi, for your example!!!!!

You're so very welcome everyone!  Oh, and by the way...if you purchase a product from your own store you just pay their base price...and you get $1 off another Cafepress member's store   .  

There are only 4 places where the prices are...easy to change .

Happy selling!

I just got my Coffee Mugs and T-Shirt, and in my humble opinion   They are awesome.  Great service and the product is all that is advertised!!!   I would highly recommend this outfit to any small sites like mine!!!

Cool!  How was the image quality on the t-shirt?  Did you do the graphics at 150 dpi?  I was trying to convert some .psp 72 dpi graphics to 150, but some of the copied in parts are quite ugly when scaled (.psp is Paint Shop Pro's extension which allows you to change just about anything after the fact, including dpi), so I'll probably need to redraw them...

Here's my very early attempt at a store, without much thought to products or pricing:

I should have some time after Saturday to actually work with it...

Thanks to both of you for pointing out this resource and keeping us informed!  It looks quite promising.

I just got my Mousepad today!  I love it!  I can't wait to do some more designs .  I'm going to order my daughter a shirt so word will get on the street .

To tell you the truth, I didn't quite pay too much attention to the dpi...I took the actual size of the mousepad and worked full size in PSPro.  It printed just as clear .

hehehe

Ever since Cafepress switched to jsp, my code hasn't worked.  Could someone please take a look at http://www.stopsexoffenders.com/ssostore.html and let me know what isn't right?  I'd appreciate it sooo much!!!! TIA,
