Pictrs GmbH
Pictrs GmbH provides an online shop system for photographers to sell their photos and related products directly and effortlessly.
About
Pictrs GmbH is a Germany-based company offering a comprehensive online shop platform tailored for photographers and creative professionals. Through Pictrs, photographers can create their own branded online shop to sell photos as downloads or a wide range of premium print and photoproducts (prints, posters, canvases, photo gifts, calendars, FineArt prints, videos, and more). The platform automates order processing, payment, production, shipping, and customer support, letting photographers focus on photography instead of logistics or administration. Pictrs is suitable for different photography segments including school/kindergarten, weddings, sports, events, studios, portfolio/artist sales, and more. Shops are highly customizable, can be operated under an own domain, and offer functions such as protected galleries, feedback galleries, automated QR-code tagging, start number search for sports events, product bundles, and flexible pricing. All data is hosted on secure German servers in compliance with the GDPR. Pictrs is trusted by over 15,000 users and has a strong focus on user support and data protection.
