Feature
One Works catalogue for Etsy, fairs, and your domain
Etsy brings discovery; your domain keeps margin and repeat buyers. Art.industries holds studio inventory in Works, buyers in Contacts, and (on Advanced) storefront checkout on your site. Etsy listings stay in Etsy until sync ships; you mark marketplace sales sold here so fair stock and direct checkout stay accurate.
Assign channels by job
Typical split for growing studios:
- Etsy: entry price points, gift buyers, search traffic.
- Your domain: signature work, editions, wholesale lines you own the customer for.
- Contacts: repeat buyers from either channel in one list.
- Invoices: wholesale and stockist terms, not marketplace checkout.
- Fairs: update Works availability at the booth before you adjust Etsy quantity.
Catalogue in Works
Create Objects for one-off pieces or Catalogue works with configurations for sizes and print runs. Photos, materials, and price live on the work record.
Rename sidebar labels in Settings so Works reads Pieces or Products if that matches your studio vocabulary.
Import a CSV from Etsy export columns (title, price, quantity, SKU) with the standard importer preview.
Direct sales on Advanced
Publish Website Studio on your domain. Enable Include on storefront on Commerce for pieces you want in cart checkout.
Complete Website Studio → Storefront checklist (Stripe, shipping). Orders appear in Storefront orders; stock drops on the sold configuration.
Custom commissions use Stripe payment links from Invoices instead of storefront when price is quoted per job.
Avoid double-selling
Treat Works availability as canonical. When Etsy sells overnight, mark the piece or configuration sold here, then update the Etsy listing.
Storefront checkout decrements stock automatically. Fair and wholesale sales use the same record when you change availability on Works.
Automated Etsy order sync is not shipped yet; recording the sale here is the manual step today.
Wholesale and stockists
Send a private viewing room with your wholesale line instead of a public price list. Issue Invoices with net terms from the stockist Contact.
Consignment contracts cover shop-on-consignment when you place work in a retail partner.
Repeat buyers and email
Import or add Etsy buyers to Contacts when you want them in studio campaigns. Contact segments like "bought Spring collection" feed Emails on Advanced.
You do not need to close Etsy to grow direct; start by listing hero pieces on your domain and emailing past buyers a link.
