Does anyone have any experience of selling photos on SmugMug? Easy to use?
So easy it Hertz... Use it daily.

I found Smug Mug hopelessly non intuitive, incredibly frustrating, and poorly designed. Tried it three times, each time vowing I would come to grips with it, and never achieved anything. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I found setting up a website that I customized straight-forward, taking about 30 minutes. My friends, family & customers find it easy to navigate as well. SmugMug offered me the best IQ of the bunch as a bonus.
Cheers!

Easy to use; impossible to sell anything. I've been on several months. Yet to sell anything. And, incidentally, it's SmugMug.

You might try choosing Basics in the Gallery Settings, and then click on Feature Image to pick out preferred thumbnail.

Yes it is easy. Setting it up can be a bit time consuming depending on what you wish to sell and at what price point you want. Once you get the hang of it it goes very smooth.

Regardless of the platform you choose you need to promote it, advertise etc., otherwise its just an internet factoid, if no one knows its there nothing will come of it, be prepared to work any venue you select. Consider your out of pocket expense, and time spent versus your expected gain.
Good luck to you in your endeavors.

I have had it for 11 years. I sell a lot, best web site on the web. Try it for a year and see, they will help you get started.
Been with SM several years now (for personal use). Agree with all of the above, including those who found it non-intuitive at first. Upside is a great look and very responsive and skilled help folks (called Smugmug Hero’s) who quickly bail you out when you need them.

SM has a good plug-in interface with Lightroom 6.14 (Desktop Classic) that make posting and any additional editing easy as long as you have the original files in the LR library. Once set-up, selling is relatively easy. This is the only site I've used, (not sure about others). Good luck.
