Third party printing service integrations

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

Immich should consider implementing api integrations with some of the popular photo printing services ( Shutterfly, Walgreens, etc...). It would be great to be able to send an album or group of photos to Walgreens to print.

While it may be outside of the scope of what Immich is trying to do - I believe those services also offer affiliate programs which could be another source of income to support Immich development.

I second this. This is scary... i was typing up this same request 2 hours ago, but didn't get a chance to finish my wording when i got distracted. I was logging on to submit it, when i saw this post! I think with an affiliate link it could be another revenue stream. It also could match the feature parity with google photos that offers a similar experience.

Haha that's strange - I was surprised I couldn't find any other mentions of the idea when searching.

Personally, I very much do not want there to be a financial or corporatised incentive in the app, and I especially don't want there to be integration with commercial services from one large company over another. It's very easy to upload the JPG you want to your printer of choice and be done.

I was going to suggest the same thing. It could be a non-intrusive way for the devs to make some money + be a great feature for users. So a win/win.

We have no plans to build integrations with commercial third-party services. This would be a great fit for a community tool using the API.
