Setting Up Your Payouts (Stripe + Israeli Sellers)
To receive payments, you must set up your payout details. Without this step, customers cannot check out on your listings.
- Click your profile picture (top right).
- Go to Account Settings > Payout Settings.
- U.S. and global sellers: Enter your bank details through Stripe.
- Israeli sellers: Fill out this form: Payout Form for Israeli Sellers
Important: Until your payout info is complete, no one can buy your products.
Pricing Strategy: Volume vs. High-Ticket Sales
- High-price, low-volume: 1 print at $350 in a month = $350 revenue.
- Volume-based: 10 prints at $150 each = $1,500 revenue.
Strategy:
- Keep originals premium (collectors, galleries).
- Offer prints, mixed media, or other accessible formats at lower price points.
- This balance grows sales without devaluing originals.
Printing & Fulfillment Options (POD Services for Wall Art)
Some artists asked us to look into print-on-demand (POD) options. Two possibilities to consider:
What is POD? You upload your file once. The POD service prints, packages, and ships directly to your customer when an order comes in.
- Lumaprints.com: Balanced quality and cost; options for paper, canvas, framed canvas, and metal prints. To help set shipping charges, we tested an 18×24 stretched canvas to several Jewish communities (NY, NJ, Miami, LA, Dallas, Cleveland, Baltimore). Prices ranged $14–$20, so $17 is a safe standard for U.S. shipping for that size.
How to use this method: If you sell a 12×12 canvas, run test quotes to a few U.S. cities with your printer and take the average. Use that as your flat rate for that size. - Pictorem.com: Higher-end POD with premium printing and framing. More expensive; good for luxury positioning.
Shipping & Delivery: Best Practices
- Always state how your work will arrive and how long shipping takes.
- Returns reassure buyers. A common approach: returns accepted within 14 days of delivery; buyer pays return postage unless the item is damaged or incorrect.
Shipping Costs: Factored In or Separate?
- Separate shipping: List a product at $100 and add $17 shipping.
- Factored in (recommended): List the product at $117 and offer “free shipping.”
Why “factored in” works better: Buyers respond more positively to free shipping. It feels simpler and more transparent and reduces cart abandonment.
