FAQ
- Does Art.industries take a cut of sales?
- No. Stripe charges its standard processing fee; funds settle to your connected account. We never insert ourselves into the money flow.
- Can we send a deposit link without opening the invoice editor?
- Yes. Generate a Stripe payment link from the work with buyer and price attached. The work moves to reserved-with-deposit when it clears.
- How do installments work?
- Schedule installments per invoice. Collectors pay through the collector portal or a payment link; paid transitions commit edition copies on the same path as full payment.
- Do consignor settlements generate automatically?
- Yes, from consignment management terms on the sold work. Refunds reverse consignor previews in one logged action.
- What should we invoice first?
- Connect Stripe, pick one real work and contact, and send a deposit invoice. Prove the loop on Core before rolling out to the full team.
