# Install Photo Book Studio, printed by Marathon Press

Photo Book Studio is a full-page book builder for your store: the shopper picks a cover, adds photos, the book lays itself out, and they go straight to the cart or keep editing. Marathon Press prints and ships the books. The studio is included in Shopper.

## What you get

![Hands holding an open photo book](https://1409369501-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FDLSaKAH9aauCVHoiuVBl%2Fuploads%2FhEMckLkp9uM3JW8ejHkV%2Fphoto-book-studio.webp?alt=media)

* A studio page with a cover gallery, a photos step and the book on screen as it will print.
* The same flow on desktop and on phones.
* Hardcover books printed by Marathon Press, with more book types as they are added to the catalog.

## Before you start

* Your store runs on Shopper 24.
* Marathon Press is switched on for your account. Ask your Pixfizz contact if you are not sure.
* Decide your store's look for the studio (colors and font) and the book types you want to offer.
* Decide your retail prices for each book size: a base price and a price per extra page.

## How to install it

1. Send your Pixfizz contact your studio look, the book types and your prices.
2. We add the studio page to your site (**Website > Custom Types > Pages**) with your look, and publish the covers and book products into a photo books collection (**Products > Collections**).
3. Add a menu link to the studio page, or ask us to add it for you.
4. Check your prices on each book product (**Products > Published Products**) before you go live.

## Your prices

Nothing is priced for you. Each book size has a base price and a price per extra page, set on the book product. Change them at any time; the studio shows the new price straight away.

## Test it

1. Open the studio on a computer. Pick a cover, add photos and check the book lays out.
2. Go straight to the cart. The cart line shows the book.
3. Do the same on a phone, adding photos from the phone's library.
4. Place one test order and check it in **Orders > Orders**.

## How long it takes

About 30 minutes with us on a call, or send us the details and we install it on your site the same or next day. Photo Book Studio is included in Shopper.
