Photo Lab Integration / Print Fulfillment

Hi Tim,

I know it has come up a few times in the past - is automatic or direct lab fulfillment still on your radar?

I realize after some investigation that it would require two-way communication - you'd have to be able to link a lab product to a Sytist product before it could be sent directly, so it isn't a quick-and-easy answer; but for volume photographers such as myself that option would dramatically reduce my workload.

Of course since I'm in Canada I'm also hoping you're willing to work with a Canadian lab...!

Even if I could export a folder of PRINTS only that I could upload to the lab myself that would be a huge help!

Or being able to download a list of prints ordered without having to sort through mountains of files ordered too.

Hi Sara, you can download a zip folder from the order, click manage photos then link to zip on the order. It will download a zip folder

I have been in contact with several labs and nothing has panned out. Perhaps one day.

Just wanted to throw my interest in this as well. Other websites like pixieset and shootproof offer lab integration with no commission fees (just monthly fee). Interesting tools for basic gallery displays and print/digital ordering but don't offer the full website and customization of Sytist. A lab integration with Sytist would be a very cool.

I'm based in Canada and I would love this feature too.

Yes, I love how the integration on Pixieset makes the shop easy to use for end users too. Currently ( because I do everything ) I only offer 3x print sizes as I cant deal with 800 special sizes, framing, canvas etc - ugh, you need to buy the digital and go away!! But if the ordered through my site and some other person had to fulfil and ship without my knowledge? Ahhh, bliss!!

Just an update - Tim - a popular volume lab here in Australia are advertising they are integrated with Sytist and I got very excited but it turns out it is just a CSV thing using Zapier they have mashed up themselves in response to client requests to integrate but no pathway to do so.
