  1. Enlarger - Enlarge thumbnails and buy button on mouseover on the Archive page. From user: "This would be excellent for the users experience because they wouldn't have to click and wait for all the page loads on each image. This is also a standard feature on most stock photo sites." See [this](http://search.veer.com/?keyword=people%20lifestyle%20or%20people%20weekends&producttype=IMG,ILL,TYP#keyword=eco friendly people environmental) as an example.
  2. Coupon Codes - Self explanatory. Use Custom Post Types to create new coupon codes.
  3. Advanced Search - This will be a hit. Include "Search Filters" with fun javascript to enhance UX.
  4. Stripe - Self explanatory. We'll need to revise our hooks to make this work.
  5. Pwinty Integration - For handling Reprints. They have an API: http://www.pwinty.com/ I've spoken with the CEO. Need to figure out billing mechanism.
  6. Search images by color - http://www.istockphoto.com/search/vetta/
  7. Sell Image Packs - Group images in packs and sell them. Packages allow you to sell multiple images for one low price.
  8. Volume discount - Offer discount depending on number of images purchased.
  9. Users Sell Images - Allow registered users to upload images which can be put up for sale.
  10. Custom Sell Media Widgets - popular photos, customers also bought, new photos, similar photos ( grouped by category, color ), etc
  11. Widget for products slideshow
  12. Widget for most popular products list
  13. Bulk purchase discount feature
  14. Widget for featured product
  15. Support for other media
  16. Most recently purchased (widget or shortcode)
  17. Most popular purchase (widget or shortcode)
  18. Upload to S3
  19. Stripe
  20. "Quick Preview", on pages like the archive and collection, something like this: http://www.istockphoto.com/search/text/bmx/filetype/photos/source/basic#1160781c note when you hover you see a slightly larger image.
  21. Dashboard - shortcode for showing logged in users their downloads.
  22. Subscriptions - sell time-sensitive access to all sell media files
  23. Theme Sell-Media - I have looked into some e-commerce plugins and I hate how they do not have the ability to change the design to match the theme you have. Checkout buttons, Forms, Checkout tables, colors/ backgrounds, etc. They have their own themes and they look so off from your original design. It might be a good idea to have textarea or any other simpler method so the plugin elements pull css from the theme itself or way to define them.
  24. PayPal Advanced integration
  25. Authorize.net
  26. http://www.woothemes.com/products/facebook-tab/
  27. Add to wishlist or creating lightboxes
  28. Like on Facebook for discount
