I would like to have my orders completed by Shutterfly. This is my dream senario:

My customer buys a photo, indicates the size of photo, with or with a standard frame, and then purchases the item using paypal that also accepts credit cards and checks online. 

I set the price for the item including the costs to print, ship, including my mark up.

I would also like a wholesale pricing from Shutterfly as a Shozam owner. This way I can keep the customer's costs low and still make a nice profit for my work.

That's my dream.

Virginia,

I do not have direct experience with Shutterfly but if they can provide you with HTML for order buttons (associated with an image you have uploaded to an account with them) you could enter that in the HTML tab in Step 2, for that image. Then, when a user orders, the user would go directly to the respective Shutterfly fulfillment page. If Shutterfly does not provide code for order buttons you could still create you own link code that would take a user to some Shutterfly page displaying the image and allowing them to enter the order process from there. I hope Shutterfly is not one of those places where the visitor would have to create a login before they can see images...

Other Shozmmers may provide more feedback about other 3rd party fulfillment providers which may integrate (possibly easier) with Shozam using the HTML tab in Step 2.

 I took a look at Shutterfly and it's similar to the POD site I'm on which also sells mugs, calendars, greeting cards, etc. I agree with Razvan. The simplest way would be to put links under (or over) your image in the gallery to link to the product so that a potential customer would be taken there to do any customizing of a product and be taken to the shopping cart on Shutterfly.

 Here is a gallery I'm working on which showcases art and photography of people on another POD site. You can get an idea of how the links go to their blogs, product sales page, etc. With simple cut/pasting of URL's in is quite easy to do

Here's the website created entirely with Shozam

If you have any questions about how it's done you can contact me through the website.
