Most people I have seen (including myself) get the images printed from their favourite labs and have that mailed across to the client. Many processes are pretty simple:
1. customer browses the site, clicks on image s/he likes, adds to card
& orders it
2. money gets transferred to your bank via paypal
3. We initiate prints after the money gets transferred
4. The print arrives in about a week
5. You ship it to the customer
Notes:
a) Some labs allow direct shipping to the customer (eg ezprints.com).
You can choose to directly ship. I personally dont - I guess I am a little paranoid - I want to make sure that all the prints are checked for defects - there is nothing worse than shipping a print and the customer coming back with "what on earth did you send ?"
b) Some people dont provide online shopping carts - they just provide an email for contact. Which method you choose is upto you
Best of luck
