[Hidden-tech] monetizing Wordpress

[Shel Horowitz]

Hi, Dan,

I'm not sure some of the responses demonstrate a full understanding of the
situation. Hoping that my pointing this out will get you more useful
answers.

The problem is in selling originals. I am not sure how you set it up so
that no product can be ordered more than once, without a lot of work
manually entering the name of the piece or the date it was published, and
then setting the quantity available to just one would mean a lot of dead
space on the cart as things are purchased and removed from availability.

Have never used Etsy or Shopify, but from what I know, the same problem
would apply.

Is there a reason she wouldn't want to be able to print more copies?

BTW, I am a fan of Kate's art and keep her Facebook page up on my desktop
computer. I usually visit at least 2-3x/week, though these days, I'm using
my laptop more, and the laptop doesn't do as well with a bazillion browser
tabs open.
