Widget linking to my gallery on ImageKind to sell my prints
-
Hi,
Is there an objection to putting up a widget on my blog which leads people to my ImageKind gallery where a few of my paintings are available for sale as prints?
Thank you,

From what I can gather from the non-answer from support, no income sites of any sort are allowed. I wanted to do CafePress and possibly Etsy, but they wouldn’t tell me yes or no. So, I didn’t risk it.
I can only assume they take all of those as commercial, even if it’s not your primary goal to drive traffic to it.

If I were you, I’d email staff and ask. Give them the link and explain these are your works. I know they’ve allowed books in some cases and some other things, as text widgets, and now there’s some kind of exception for Amazon, although not the widget? It’s all murky. Ask staff.
-
When I e-mailed staff, they said that the Amazon exception basically isn’t one. You can link to Amazon, but it can’t be an affiliate link. They wouldn’t give me a yes or no with anything else. Very strange. That’s why I said “non-answer”.

From the FAQs
A discreet link to your business in the sidebar or an About page is permitted.

Thank you all. I will write to the staff and ask them specifically. timethief thanks for the link.

this is the 4th or 5th time that i’ve tried to get in touch with support but get the standard message. Is there an email id i could send my query to so that they get it during their working hours. Living in Bangladesh it is difficult for me get in touch with them during their working hours. Thank you.
-
They are getting the message. The guy that reads the emails is the same as the one who reads the Support tickets. Give them a few hours to get back to you on that.

You’re welcome. Personally I believe that a link to your gallery will not be a problem. Best wishes. :)

Thanks again timethief but I would like it clarified as I dont want a problem later on. I’m hoping that I’ll get a reply soon.

To what purpose? Please don’t bump threads.
If you’ve asked staff for a response, they will get back to you via email, but probably not before Monday. As pointed out above, we can’t help you solve this one.

because
I started this thread on Aug 31st today is Sep 9th
due to the time difference when I try to send feedback I get a screen with their working hours and cant leave a message
in your message of the 1st you said they’d get back in a few hours
highlight that the issue is not resolved?
I appologize raincoaster if you find this unacceptable. btw are you a moderator on this forum?

Thanks timethief, I did write to support and here’s their reply
[blockquote]Hi,
We cannot install any widgets, sorry.
All you can do is link to paypal as has been described in the forums – we have no other way to do it.

I am disappointed but not much I can do about it immediately. Thanks for your help.
