Today, it's official. The feature is now available to all subscribers.

The Selling module was designed to stay true to the spirit of Artfolio: easy to use and directly integrated into your creative world.

Most importantly, there are two key points to remember: online selling is included in your Artfolio subscription and Artfolio does not take any commission on your sales.

You can therefore try this new feature directly from your portfolio, without subscribing to any additional option.

Your portfolio can now become a selling space too

Until now, your portfolio was primarily a place to showcase your work, your creative world and your latest news.

With online selling, you can now sell directly from your content:

• your artworks

• your creations

• your prints and editions

• your services

• your courses

• your workshops

• your digital content

• or specific access and special offers

Selling integrates naturally into your portfolio, without requiring you to create a completely separate online store. And if you need help, our support team is here to guide you 🎧. You'll have support every step of the way.

You remain free to organise your creative world however you like, whether that means a gallery dedicated to available works, a specific page, a one-off news post or a dedicated Shop section.

For sellers: manage everything directly from your portfolio

The Selling module is about much more than simply displaying a price.

From your admin area, you have access to several tools to organise and manage your sales.

You can:

• enable or pause selling on your portfolio

• offer a photo, page or news post for sale

• create multiple variants for the same offer

• manage your prices and stock

• define your shipping rules

• configure taxes when necessary

• track your orders

• view your business and financial information

• automatically provide information after a purchase using Mess@ge

The goal is to give you all the tools you need to sell professionally while keeping everything simple to manage.

What about the buyer?

A successful sale does not depend solely on the tools available to the seller. It also relies on the quality of the buying experience.

With selling integrated into Artfolio, visitors can discover your work, view an artwork or offer and make a purchase as a natural continuation of their visit. Purchases can be made directly from your galleries, news posts and pages.

Depending on your settings, buyers can:

• select a variant

• view shipping conditions

• see the total amount of their order

• make their payment

• receive a confirmation after their purchase

• automatically receive certain information or access when you use the Mess@ge feature

The buying journey therefore remains directly connected to your creative world and your identity.

One tool, two benefits

Mess@ge: useful for selling in different ways

Online selling is not limited to physical objects or artworks.

With the Mess@ge feature, you can automatically send information related to a purchase once payment has been confirmed.

For example, this could be:

• a download link

• a document

• private access

• a video call link

• instructions

• practical information

• an exclusive bonus for the buyer

This feature opens up many different possibilities, including digital content, courses, workshops, services, events and exclusive access.

No additional option. No Artfolio commission.

We also wanted this new feature to remain consistent with our philosophy.

That is why the Selling module is included in your Artfolio subscription.

There is no additional Artfolio option to subscribe to before you can start using it.

Most importantly:

Artfolio does not take any commission on your sales.

You remain fully in control of your prices, your offers and your business.

Start selling

You can start simply by offering an artwork, a service or a piece of content for sale, testing the buying journey and gradually building your selling space according to your activity.

It's happening… online sales are coming to Artfolio.

We've been working on this feature for quite some time — and we've been busy! The sales module will be available on all portfolios within the next few days.

Starting this week, you'll be able to sell directly from your portfolio: physical artworks, as well as courses, services, workshops and digital content.

The idea is simple: to let you integrate sales naturally into your creative world. Your portfolio can now become both a showcase and an online store.

Some members will prefer to bring all their available creations together in one dedicated space. Others will choose to keep their works within their existing galleries. Some will create a specific page, while others will use the Shop tab.

Artfolio is also working on a new, much more flexible portfolio menu. This will give you even more freedom to organize and structure your creative world the way you want.

Alien Star is one of the first artists to have tested this new feature. She chose to create a gallery called “Paintings to Adopt”, dedicated to artworks currently available for purchase. It's a simple, personal and instantly understandable way to present her work to visitors.

Paintings to Adopt!

Alien Star agreed to test the online sales feature and share her first impressions with us.

Alien Star's Experience

“I was genuinely very pleasantly surprised by Artfolio's sales feature. I had been waiting for it for a long time because, for me, it was the only thing missing to make the platform complete!

Listing my artworks for sale was very simple and, above all, extremely user-friendly. Uploading my paintings was quick, easy and completely hassle-free.

I even received an enquiry about a sale as soon as I first listed my work, so that was an extremely positive start!

What I particularly appreciate is how smooth and simple everything feels. The whole system is designed so that you can showcase and sell your creations without having to deal with an overly complicated setup.

I had previously tried Shopify, which I found much more complex and which didn't really convince me, either in terms of visibility or cost. Artfolio also seems much more affordable for an artist.

I also noticed that putting my work up for sale gave my portfolio a boost: more views and more visits to my website. So it's interesting not only as a way to sell, but also as a way to give your work greater visibility.

In just a few words: simple, smooth, user-friendly and effective!

I'm really very happy with this new feature, which makes it easy to turn your portfolio into a genuine professional showcase while also giving you the possibility to sell your work directly.

For me, this is exactly the kind of tool artists need: straightforward, accessible, affordable and effective.”

We're Continuing to Improve Our Tools

The arrival of online sales is an important milestone, but it's only the beginning.

We are currently working on a new menu system to improve navigation on Artfolio and give members even more flexibility when organizing their portfolios.

We are also training our online support assistant on the sales feature. It will gradually become available to guide members and help answer any questions they may have about using it.

Just a Little More Patience…

Online sales will be available to all members this week.

The feature will be included in your Artfolio plan, and Artfolio will not charge any commission on your sales.

Recent articles published by Beaux Arts Magazine and The Conversation point in the same direction: creativity, artistic practice and cultural outings stimulate the brain, the body and vitality — and may even help slow down some effects of aging.

In other words: ART REGENERATES.

Creating, posing, painting, photographing, dancing, exhibiting, visiting, meeting people… all of this keeps the eye sharp, the body engaged and energy in motion.

.
So, off we go — a little spotlight moment with Ayélé, model and painter on Artfolio. She captures this idea beautifully: a living body, a strong presence and a creativity that shows. The proof is in the image: art works from within… and always ends up radiating outward.

.
Artfolio is also a form of SLOW MEDIA. Events are geolocated, visible and easy to share.

How do you publish an event?
Nothing could be easier: publish your news on Artfolio And if you're not sure how to do it, customer support 🎧 is here to help.

Only people with the direct link can view and access your "unlisted" galleries and news on your portfolio. Perfect for sharing work in progress, confidential content, or granting exclusive access to selected images.

👀 We've selected an artist and created an exclusive gallery to show you! 👉 See here!

Try this new feature now and keep some galleries in ultra-private mode!

We are pleased to announce the addition of a geolocation filter on the homepage feed.

By default, the geolocation of your content corresponds to the city associated with your portfolio. However, for publications such as Event, Training, Collaboration, and Job/Casting, you can specify the city that corresponds to your offer.

With the help of artificial intelligence, we now offer fully translated feeds in English on Artfolio and in French on Book.fr.

This system automatically analyzes the content of your pages, news, and galleries to generate translated excerpts for each platform.
