Where ArtGalleria fits
ArtGalleria is a pragmatic catalogue-and-CRM with an offers-to-invoices flow and Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress integrations for the public site. Multi-currency selection covers six majors. For a gallery that wants to keep an existing third-party site, the integration story may fit.
Where teams pick Art.industries
When the public site lives on a third-party CMS, every inventory edit becomes a sync hop—especially painful when commerce and deals read from different catalogues. Art.industries Website Studio and storefront checkout read the same record the registrar edits for viewing rooms and pipeline, so price and availability change once. Per-workspace pricing also avoids the 1/3/5-user tier ceilings.
Deals and commerce: what each platform actually covers
Galleries sell in two modes that most software conflates. Deals are coordinated private sales—viewing rooms, holds, negotiated offers, consignor splits, deposits, and invoices. Commerce is self-serve public checkout for editions, books, and multiples at fixed prices.
Art.industries runs both modes on shared inventory records: mark a work room-only, storefront-eligible, or both; either path updates availability when a sale closes. Many competitors skew toward one mode—gallery CRMs handle deals but force a second catalogue for the website; Shopify-style tools handle commerce but miss holds, consignments, and confidential rooms.
Use the matrix below to see which side each product actually covers, not which checkout widget they advertise.
Collector portals: one home instead of forwarded links
Collectors usually receive one-off links—a viewing room grant, an invoice payment email, a Stripe checkout URL—each minted and forwarded by staff. Art.industries gives every collector contact a branded client portal on one share link: open invoices with PDF download, pay balances and installments through your Stripe account, revisit shared viewing rooms, review owned works and shop orders, and open diligence documents—scoped to that contact only.
Most gallery CRMs stop at emailing payment links. Some sell a separate collector product (Artlogic Collector is a distinct module). The Collector client portal row in the matrix below shows who ships a persistent, self-service collector home inside the same workspace as invoicing and rooms.
FAQ
- Should we keep our Squarespace or WordPress site?
- You can. ArtGalleria pushes the catalogue to those CMSs. With Art.industries, Website Studio is included on Advanced and reads the same record directly, but you can also connect a custom domain to the storefront if you prefer.
- How many users does each tier support?
- ArtGalleria caps at 1, 3, and 5 users by tier. Art.industries Core, Advanced, and Max all use per-workspace pricing with role-based permissions for the team you have.
- Does Art.industries take a percentage of sales?
- No. You connect your own Stripe account; funds settle directly to you. Stripe takes its standard processing fee.
- How do we migrate our existing data?
- CSV import for works and contacts with field mapping and a validation pass. Most teams finish the operational inventory migration in 2-3 weeks.
- Does Art.industries work in languages other than English?
- Yes. The app runs in seven languages (English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Chinese), and the same records publish multilingual public sites, viewing rooms, and PDF exports. If your collectors or your team work across languages, check this against any platform on your shortlist.
- How do we know the comparison is honest?
- Every competitor cell links to a public source on their own site, with the date we last verified the claim. Anything we cannot verify is marked N/A, never asserted.

Start on free Core, import 30 works, send a viewing room, mint a collector portal link, and take a Stripe payment. If the operational loop works on a slice, the rest of your workspace will too.
