A center server in a network photo-print service system receives print order information related to a print order and information related to conditions for a delivery site for prints, outputted in response to the order, from the customer (a customer-side terminal) through the network, extracts a delivery shop candidate group suitable for the conditions for a delivery site for prints from the shops capable of delivering the prints, requests the customer to select a shop from the delivery shop candidate group as a delivery shop, that is, a delivery site for the prints, and transmits the print order information to a print output device placed in the delivery shop thus determined in accordance with the selection by the customer. Moreover, the transmission end of the print order information is altered depending on whether the printing process in the print order information is, for example, (1) a printing process having a size not more than a predetermined size (first printing process) or (2) a printing process having a size greater than the predetermined size (second printing process).
