Hosted<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s <em>hosted shopping cart software<\/em> for short. It allows you to <strong>have an independent online store (not on Etsy) without having to have your own website.<\/strong> It\u2019s the opposite of <em>self-hosted shopping cart software<\/em>, which you install on your website.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pro: You don\u2019t need to pay, to build or maintain your own website. You can start selling art within minutes on your social media.<\/li>\n<li>Con: You might get too comfortable with this simple option and forget that your brand needs an artist website. Also, you cannot add new features by customizing them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Free plan<\/h3>\n<p>The free plan allows you to start selling online without having to pay a monthly fee.<strong> It\u2019s a great feature for financially struggling artists or those who don\u2019t want to take any risks.<\/strong> Many hosted platforms offer this option to attract new customers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Downside: Free plans aren\u2019t really free. You might be paying more than you\u2019d expected at the end of the day. We take Gumroad for example, the free plan takes almost 10% in total (commission, transaction fee, and listing fee).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Staff Account<\/h3>\n<p>Artists are presumably <em>Solopreneurs<\/em>, but this isn\u2019t the case for many. If you have an agent, a friend, or an intern to help you out, you might want to check out the \u2018staff account\u2019 feature. You can\u2019t just hand over all your online credentials away to another person. <strong>Many platforms and apps don\u2019t support multiple log-ins to the same account.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>4. Payment Gateways<\/h3>\n<p>Different payment gateways might have different processing times, payout transaction fees, credit card rates etc. <strong>The most popular payment gateways are PayPal and Stripe.<\/strong> Sometimes a platform could have its own such as \u2018Selz Pay\u2019. You can\u2019t choose any payment gateways, you must select from a list of compatible ones.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Instant Payout<\/h3>\n<p>Cash flow is another very important factor in any business. If you don\u2019t get paid for a month, would you still be able to run your art business? <strong>Cash flow determines if you will make it or break it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You want to get paid as soon as an order is fulfilled, but the instant payout is not a standard for every platform. Some platforms connect the payment to your PayPal so you get the money directly from your customers. Some platforms (Gumroad, Art of Where) would pay you every Friday.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Number of Products<\/h3>\n<p>Many e-commerce platforms that target artists don\u2019t offer unlimited products. There is a limit of 5, 10 or 100 products. This can be very inconvenient when you sell hand-embellished works. <strong>Each work is unique, you might want to have a separate product listing for each<\/strong>. As you become more and more productive, you will reach the ceiling for the maximum number of products.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Images per Product<\/h3>\n<p>Some platforms (IndieMade, BigCartel) limit the number of images per product. <strong>It\u2019s limiting your ability to showcase your art<\/strong>. Apart from images, you want HD videos instead of SD videos. Those content will help you capture the heart of your collectors.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Print-on-Demand Automation<\/h3>\n<p>Most of the eCommerce platforms work with Printful and Printify. <strong>Once a customer places an order, it\u2019s automatically produced without you having to do anything.<\/strong> However if you want to work with some special local producers or fulfillment centers, you need to make sure your e-commerce platforms work seamlessly with the producer of your choice.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Pay What You Want (PWYW)<\/h3>\n<p>Pay What You Want allows your customers to price your products. You can use this as a friendly gesture for digital downloads like eBooks or customized art brushes. You can even give away freebies. <strong>If you plan to give away often, make sure your eCommerce platform doesn\u2019t charge you for freebies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>10. Sell Memberships Courses<\/h3>\n<p>Apart from selling art, <strong>some platforms allow you to sell memberships to access exclusive content, to receive product subscriptions, or access online courses.<\/strong> You can use open platforms like WooCommerce to install add-ons. Alternatively, you can also use out-of-the-box solutions like Podia. With Podia, you can sell digital downloads, courses, and memberships.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Sell Offline<\/h3>\n<p>Artists and craftsmen might have their own studio storefronts or visit craft fairs regularly. <strong>You need to manage your inventory so you know which products are available.<\/strong> Also, you need a POS system to receive money if people aren\u2019t carrying cash.<\/p>\n<h3>12. Sell Multichannel<\/h3>\n<p>Imagine if you are selling on Amazon and Etsy at the same time apart from your own website, <strong>it can be very challenging to manage the product listings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>13. Sell Services<\/h3>\n<p>You may ask: \u2018How about selling commissioned art using e-commerce platforms?\u2019 <strong>Commissioned works and bespoke pieces are \u2018services\u2019 that can be delivered both online and offline.\u00a0<\/strong>In most cases, you can list them as \u2018digital products\u2019 as workarounds. By providing some price estimates and mockups, you are bringing your potential customers one step closer to placing the order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to choose your selling art online place 1.
