What it does
If you sell photos, video or other digital media through Sell Media, your files can take up a lot of space on your hosting account, and every purchase means your server has to hand those files to customers. This addon moves that work to Amazon S3. Your media files are stored in your S3 account and delivered to buyers from Amazon's cloud platform, which takes storage and file delivery load off your own server.
The addon works alongside your existing Sell Media setup, so you keep selling the same way while your files live on S3. It handles media uploads, including video files, to your S3 storage. Amazon S3 charges for the storage and bandwidth you actually use, which makes it a flexible option for creatives with large or growing media libraries. It suits photographers, artists and other creative professionals who already run their store on Sell Media.
Best for
- Photographers selling prints and digital images with Sell Media
- Artists and creatives with large media libraries
- Sell Media stores running low on hosting storage
Features
Amazon S3 file storage
Store the media files you sell in Amazon S3 cloud storage, keeping large photo and video libraries off your own hosting account.
Delivery from Amazon S3
Customer purchases are delivered from Amazon S3, so your web server no longer has to serve every file to every buyer.
Works with Sell Media
Connects to your existing Sell Media plugin setup, letting you keep your current products and selling workflow while files move to the cloud.
Video upload support
Upload video files to S3 along with your images, so creatives selling footage can use the same cloud storage approach.
Room for large libraries
Amazon S3 offers scalable storage, which helps photographers and creatives whose media collections outgrow the space on their hosting plan.
Pay for what you use
Amazon S3 bills for the storage and bandwidth you consume, giving you a storage cost that scales with the size of your store.
Reduced server load
Offloading media storage and delivery to S3 frees up your website's server resources for running the rest of your site.
Questions about Sell Media S3 Addon
Do I need the Sell Media plugin to use this addon?
Yes. This is an extension for the Sell Media plugin by Graph Paper Press. It adds Amazon S3 storage and delivery to an existing Sell Media store, so Sell Media needs to be active on your site for the addon to work.
Can I store video files on S3, or only photos?
You can use it for video as well as images. The addon handles uploading videos to Amazon S3, so creatives who sell footage alongside photos can keep both types of media in their S3 storage.
Will this reduce the load on my web hosting?
It moves media storage and delivery to Amazon S3, so your server no longer stores the files or sends them to buyers. That frees up server resources and disk space on your hosting account, which is helpful for large media libraries.
How does Amazon S3 charge for storage?
Amazon S3 uses a pay-as-you-go model, charging for the storage and bandwidth you actually use. Costs are billed by Amazon through your own AWS account, separate from the addon itself, and grow or shrink with your store's usage.
Is Sell Media S3 Addon free?

How do I update Sell Media S3 Addon?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Sell Media S3 Addon automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
