Deposit Photos
Configure the Depositphotos integration to provide stock image search and curated image collections for your storefront and Print Editor.
Depositphotos is a stock photography service that integrates with PrintNow to give storefront customers and editor users access to millions of stock images. When enabled, customers can search and use Depositphotos images directly inside the Print Editor's image sidebar, and admins can create curated image collections that appear as browsable pages on the storefront.
The Deposit Photos admin page has three tabs: Settings for enabling the integration and configuring fees, Collections for managing curated image collection pages, and Report for tracking image purchases by customers.
Settings
- From your Unified Admin, go to Partner Apps > Deposit Photo.
- The Settings tab is selected by default.
- Configure the settings below and click Save.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Deposit Photos Integration | Turns the Depositphotos integration on or off for the current storefront. When enabled, the Print Editor displays a Depositphotos tab in the images sidebar where customers can search and add stock images to their designs. |
| Per Image Fee | Dollar amount charged to customers for each stock image they use. This fee is added to the order total when a customer places an order containing Depositphotos images. Set to 0 for no additional charge (images are still deducted from your available downloads). |
| Categories | Multi-select list of product categories where Depositphotos is available. Only products in the selected categories will show the Depositphotos image tab in the Print Editor. Leave empty to make Depositphotos available across all categories. |
Collections
The Collections tab lets you create curated image collection pages. Each collection is backed by a Depositphotos "lightbox" and a CMS page on your storefront. Customers can browse these collections on your storefront as standalone pages with their own URLs.
- Click the Collections tab.
- Click Add to create a new collection. Enter a title in the dialog and click Save.
- The collection appears in the grid. Click Edit from the Action menu to open the collection editor.

Edit Collection
When you click Edit on a collection, the collection editor opens with two areas:
Image Gallery (left panel) displays all images currently in the collection as a masonry grid. Each image has a delete button to remove it from the collection. Click Load more to paginate through large collections.
Search Panel (right panel) appears when you click Add Images. Search the Depositphotos library by keyword, then click the add button on any image to include it in the collection. Click Load more to see additional search results.
CMS Content (slide-out drawer) opens from the right edge of the page via the CMS Content button. This drawer provides a full content editor for the collection page with two sections:

Content Editor
The content editor has two view modes:
- Design View -- WYSIWYG editor (Froala) for visually editing the HTML content of the collection page. Supports snippets via the Snippets toolbar button.
- Code View -- Monaco code editor for directly editing the HTML source.
Page SEO
The SEO section (below Page Details in the drawer) allows setting the meta title, meta keywords, meta description, and friendly URL for the collection page. This uses the same SEO editor component shared across all CMS pages.
