Welcome to the Art Storefronts Family
We want to make this easy! This is the easiest way to get your site launched. If you stray from this list, you could turn it into a longer project than it needs to be. We've made this guide to help you get live as fast as possible. Don't do things that don't matter. It looks minimal, but this is done on purpose. You want to get live and you want to do it quickly.
This list is only for Artists selling ONLY Limited Editions or Originals. Not sure if you're only selling Originals or Limited Editions? Email cs@artstorefronts.com and our Support team will let you know.
If you're ready to dive in, take a look below and if you get stuck, just let us know. Our support team will be able to answer any questions you have.
