1. A computer-implemented method programmed for execution in a computing environment for ordering and facilitating payment of at least one print product, wherein the method is implemented utilizing a computing system including a processor, a memory and a user interface in communication with the processor, wherein the computing system is controlled by a first business entity, the method comprising:
a) storing a digital image in the memory of the computing system;
b) allowing for the selection of at least one print product using the user interface provided by a video interface of the computing system and accessed by a user computing device to establish a print order, wherein the at least one print product includes the digital image disposed thereon, and wherein the print order includes an identification of the selected at least one print product and an order cost to fulfill the print order;
c) generating a unique payment link by the processor that corresponds to the print order, wherein the unique payment link provides the user computing device with access to communicate payment information to a remote payment processing system over a network to provide payment for the print order, wherein the payment processing system is controlled by a second business entity, and wherein the payment information includes personal identifiable information;
d) providing access to the unique payment link to the user computing device;
e) receiving a payment notification at the processor from the remote payment processing system; and
f) allowing for the fulfillment of at least a portion of the print order using a printing device.
