Topic: Veer Marketplace Is Live

Hi everyone,

Veer Marketplace is now live on Veer.com. Check it out: http://www.veer.com/marketplace

This phase one launch features the first batch of SV contributors to be moved over to Veer. More SV contributors will be moved over the next couple of months. And then in spring/summer we'll have the full Marketplace site up and running, so contributors can upload their images directly to Veer.

Let us know what you think and feel free to ask Brian and I any questions.

Aaron

ps. The announcement of "A Brand New Low" is a tongue and check reference to pricing. Veer customers are smart design nerds so they love the inside jokes.

So....how do we contribute directly to the site. The main reason I never contibuted much to Snap Village is because of the painful upload process. I got so frustrated that I just deleted most of them....

What if we have not been moved over yet and would like to start uploading right away?

We'll be accepting direct submissions to Veer Marketplace in spring/summer once the upload tool is launched.

For now, you can submit your contact details here and then we'll contact you when it's ready to go:

So do you take every contributor from snapvillage? I am not yet on Veer I just discovered. Will I be there automatically when I am on Snapvillage?

We're going to take most of SV contributors for Veer Marketplace. I can't say "all" because Veer has different submissions criteria than SV. The simple answer: we'll take as much as possible.

SV contributors that are not moved over will be welcome to submit to Veer Marketplace after the spring/summer launch. We'll have more guidance on the site as to our criteria and the Community Content Editors will also be there to provide feedback so everyone has a clear idea of what we're looking for.

Just to clarify, we don't need to do anything in order to be moved over to Veer, correct? Like I don't need to set up an account at Veer... assuming I'm selected to be transferred over, it's all automatic? And I suppose I will just be able to log in at Veer using the same login I used at SnapVillage?

Yes, SV images, user names, accounts, etc. will be moved over automatically.

I have the same questions as helix7 and why do we need to submit our contact details again? You already have them!

Edit:

Oh you answered before I asked!

Will Veer Marketplace be truly open to photographers from around the globe, or will they also limit their contributors to those few countries that are supported by PayPal. I joined SV right in the beginning, but had to delete my images when I realized that SV have no intention of paying contributors in countries not supported by PayPal. I still have an account at SV, but no images. I will be interested to contribute to Veer Marketplace, but only if I can get paid.

Veer Marketplace will be global. Absolutely, we'll have other payment options in addition to PayPal to make it work for everyone.

I just left my info. There was no way to sign up just to Veer Marketplace so I submitted my application to Veer.

I will be interested in submitting to Veer Marketplace when that option is available. Please keep us posted here

Will do!

And on the submissions.veer.com questionnaire, make sure to select "Marketplace" from the drop down menu so your contact info is sent to the right place.

Aaron,

Looks good, however the image search seems to generate thumbnails very slowly.

There is something strange with the questionnaire. I filled it in, but after pressing submit the form is displayed again, but with many more entry fields and questions than before. A bug?

Hm, much worse: After submitting the questionnaire I received a mail delivery notice from postmaster@Veer.com:

Delivery to the following recipients failed.
marketplacesubmissions@veer.com

There is something wrong.

So it's on before all accounts are transferred from SV, right? How long it will take to transfer accounts? Shall I wait or apply for account at Veer Marketplace?

The site is very, very, very slow. I'm not surprised Roll Eyes

Hm. Checking on the questionnairre email issue. Should be resolved soon.

melastmohican -- Images are transferred during "phase one", then accounts are transferred for the full launch in spring/summer. You don't need to open a new account at Veer Marketplace. We'll do it for you to make sure your settings are retained.

Update on the site speed from dev:

"Aaron – there is a slowness right now due to caching on the site. As there are no existing searches for Veer Marketplace, the search hits the prod server and builds the result set from scratch. The next time the search is done – it pulls from the server cache which speeds it up. This will resolve itself."

If you try to browse through the markteplace via categories it switches back to normal veer as soon as you click the next site. Search also seems only to work for normal veer.

Hi grp_photo, not sure what you mean by "next site". Do you mean to click to the next page of search results? Marketplace results are maintained as you move through the pages.

No it does not in the first place but i noticed the tab for marketplace with the tab it is possible to browse through marketplace. I also noticed the checkbox for marketplace in the search box. Still extremly slow for me will try it tommorow.
