General Photographer Questions

  1. Do you have a wholesale program?
    We do not offer a wholesale program at this time.

  2. Do you offer a print catalog?
    We do not have a print catalog at this time.

  3. What is your turnaround time?
    Orders usually take 5-6 business days to process before shipping. If you select the optional rush processing service for an additional $15.00, the processing time is reduced to 2 business days. This does not include shipping transit time. We offer four different shipment methods: Ground, 3-day, 2-day and next-day services via UPS.

  4. Do you display any products without pricing?
    No, pricing is displayed for all our products. We offer only one pricing structure at this time. If you plan on marking up our cards to sell to your clients, you will have to place the order for them and then create your own invoice for your services.

  5. How do I order physical samples?
    If you are interested in receiving our samples, you can order samples pack online for $2.00 each. To order an everyday Tiny Prints samples pack, click here. To order a holiday samples pack, click here. We do not print samples of individual designs, or offer print proofs of customized cards. You can, however, request a digital proof when placing the order for an additional $10.00.

  6. How can I get my photographs on Tiny Prints sample cards?
    Our merchandising team is always looking for great photos to go with the sample card images on our site. If you would like to submit your images to be considered for our site, please submit your photos or portfolio to merch@tinyprints.com with the subject line "Sample Photos." If your photos are accepted, we will send you a model release form for final approval before we use them.

Questions about our Photographer Partnership Program

  1. How do I know if my application has been received or if I have been accepted into the affiliate program?
    If your application has been submitted correctly, you should receive a confirmation e-mail from Share a Sale. If you do not receive this e-mail, please check your spam folder or else you might not have finished the process correctly. Once approved, you will receive a welcome e-mail from the affiliate manager.

  2. I have a client who is ready to order ASAP and I am not yet approved for the program or I have not yet applied. Can you help?
    We know you that you are in a rush, but we ask that new affiliates and photographers in particular take the time to read these materials carefully first. We look at the affiliate program as a good fit for those who think they can send 5+ orders a year and who are comfortable with technology and websites, adding links, etc. Please make sure you have finished the application process correctly and then see below for our manual credit policy.

  3. If I am not approved for the program, can you still credit me manually for an order that I placed for a client?
    To keep costs down and increase payouts, we have tried to design a process that does not require human intervention it is very important that you or your clients place orders using the process we have outlined in Question 4. As a one-time courtesy, we will process manual credits for any orders placed within seven days of being accepted into the program. Simple go to the contact page and send us the orders numbers, customer info and order totals and your Share a Sale account #. After this initial period, requests for manual credits which are a result of not using an affiliate link as directed may incur a $5 fee which will be subtracted from the commission due.

  4. How does the affiliate program know that I should receive credit for the order?
    Our tracking system for photographers relies on a cookie and to set this cookie you or your client must click on a banner or text link that has your affiliate id embedded. Each banner or link that you create is specifically tagged with your Share-a-Sale ID number. You can access all of these banners and links in your Share a Sale account and choose from any one of the banner or simple text links. These links can be used from any website you control, put directly into a browser or e-mailed in the case of text links. You will know the banner or link has worked if you land on the Tiny Prints site and see your user id at the end of the url string in the browser. Each of these links places a cookie on that specific computer that lasts for six months and our shopping cart checks for the cookie each time there is an order. The presence of that cookie makes sure you get credit for the sale. If you place orders from multiple PC's, you should make sure that you click on one of your created links or banners each time.

    Please make sure that you or your clients follow the steps above as it is very difficult and costly for us to research and process manual credits. We have found that in almost all cases of non-tracked orders, these instructions were not followed correctly.

  5. What type of discounts can I apply to my orders?
    As an affiliate, you are only allowed to use or encourage your clients to use the current affiliate coupon. If a non-affiliate coupon is used in conjunction with an affiliate link or banner, you may forfeit your commission for that order.

  6. Can I use images or other content from Tiny Prints or Wedding Paper Divas on my site for marketing purposes?
    You may only use images and product descriptions from our site if you are an approved affiliate. If you use any images or other content from Tiny Prints (www.tinyprints.com) or Wedding Paper Divas (www.weddingpaperdivas.com), you must indicate that they are Tiny Prints or Wedding Paper Divas products. Using images, descriptions or other content from either site without attribution to Tiny Prints or Wedding Paper Divas is strictly prohibited.

  7. I don't have a website for my business, I don't want to put banners on my website or I place orders on behalf of my clients. Can I still be a Tiny Prints or Wedding Paper Divas affiliate?
    Yes, it just takes some extra effort. Tiny Prints and Wedding Paper Divas have text links that can be taken from the Share-a-Sale website in the "Get Links" section that looks like this:

    www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=85155&u=212907&m=12808&urllink=&afftrack=

    Whenever you get an order from a customer that you would like to fulfill with Tiny Prints or Wedding Paper Divas, you would have to copy that text link into your browser and press enter. This will take you to the Tiny Prints or Wedding Paper Divas website through Share-a-Sale's routing system, and will set a cookie on your computer, allowing each site to recognize you and give you the proper commission for the sale. You May also be interested in our Getting Started Section for help creating these links.

  8. How can I submit an order for my client if I do not want to join the Photographer Affiliate Program?
    If you do not wish to join one of our Partnership Programs at this time, you can still place orders for your clients. Just follow the "Steps to Submit an Order for your Client". You can also have your client place their own order since we have a simple and easy to use photo uploading process that enables you to provide the photo for their order directly to us.
