This invention provides an information providing system which can easily
update a price in accordance with data processing, an information
providing apparatus, an information presenting method, a control program,
and a storage medium. To accomplish this, a user accesses a Web server
(121) in a photosite (105) by using a browser (120) of a user PC (102),
browses images, and selects an image which he/she wants to print out (S2,
S3). A printsite (109) receives input data indicating a print form, print
count, and the like for each selected image (S6), calculates an estimated
price by using a print information database (119) in which print unit
prices are stored and the price calculation module (110), and transfers
the estimated price to the photosite (105) (S7). The photosite (105)
calculates a price while factoring personal information into the
estimated price by using a personal information database (118) and a
price calculation module (108), and presents the price to the user (S8).
