Wilo74Really impressed with this plugin. Extra add on features make this plugin a really comprehensive system for our photography business. Derek is also brilliant at getting back to you quickly with any questions.
FredI did quite a lot of shopping around and find Sunshine Photo Cart to be by far and away the best all-round photography WordPress plugin. The add-ons are definitely worth the purchase which helps deliver a complete solution. I highly recommend this product.
David JohnsonSunshine Photo cart is purpose-built to do exactly one thing, sell photos on my WordPress site and do it well. The pro version is a no-brainer, with lots of options and you only have to load the addons you want, so no bloated plugins, you just load up what you need. It looks really professional and having features like favourites will help me sell more photos in the future. It’s the best plugin for selling photos I’ve found. Highly recommended.
Antti RoosSunshine handles all the necessary things I require from a proofing system, it is extremely easy to use and very versatile.
Miguel RosenstokAs wedding photographers, we have been using this great plugin for more than 5 years and have found that Sunshine Photo Cart is the perfect solution for our self-hosted image webshop. Our clients love the flexibility and convenience of showing and sharing their wedding pictures in a private and secure way. We love the increased revenue of selling extra photos to guests.
JohnTested the free version for the first time and I’m really impressed with the quality of this plugin. Fully functional and working easily as described, can be implemented and used rapidly with all basic features. Addons will bring more options for advanced users. Support is also very helpful and that helps a lot during the first steps.
Dawn KSunshine is exactly that, a ray of sunshine in the photo carts that are out there. Simple to use both on the admin side and the customer side, Derek is great at providing support and in taking suggestions for improvements.
Robert SmithI’ve tried Envira and Nextgen and nothing worked like Sunshine Photo Cart.
William DeboisAUS$1500 worth of sales within 3 days of installing Sunshine Photo Cart. Need I say more? This system is simple to use, easy to customize, and doesn’t force you to dive into the depth of your server to run. We look forward to further development on the media management side but we are quite happy making money through our galleries already.
Stephen ConradI have enjoyed my experience with Sunshine Photo Cart. It has made interactions with my clients relaxing and enjoyable. I have positive feedback from clients using the galleries. I would highly recommend it to any professional photographer.
Alicia DunlopI love this plugin. It has everything I need to run my photography business through my website. The support is great – I’m no techy but queries are answered quickly & clearly.
