Feature
Stripe payment links from Works and Invoices
Connect Stripe once in Settings → Integrations, then generate payment links from Invoices or the work Commerce panel. Each link inherits the work title, price, and gallery branding. Paid links update Works availability and consignment balances without a spreadsheet reconciliation pass.
Connect Stripe
Open Settings → Integrations → Stripe and connect the gallery Stripe account. Funds settle to your bank; Art.industries does not take a sale percentage (Stripe charges processing fees).
Stripe is required for storefront checkout and for payment links on Core. Test mode is available before you go live at a fair.
Send a deposit from a work
Open the Work → Commerce (or create an Invoice with the work as a line item). Set deposit amount and currency, then Create payment link.
Copy the link into SMS or email to the collector at the booth. When Stripe marks the payment paid, the work moves to deposit-paid availability and the buyer links on Overview if the contact record exists.
Use Invoices for multi-line or instalment schedules; use quick links for single-amount booth deposits.
Balance and full payment
After framing or shipping is ready, generate the balance link from the same Invoice. Prior deposit appears as credit on the invoice total.
Full-payment links from Commerce on edition copies mark the specific copy sold and update inventory counts.
Where payments appear
Invoices list shows open and paid states. Storefront orders lists self-serve checkout separately when you run a public storefront.
Each paid link writes to the work Activity and the contact Overview. Consignment contracts pick up the sale for statement lines when works are consigned.
Refunds and chargebacks
Refund from the Invoice or Stripe-backed payment record. The work availability reverses; consignor open balance adjusts on the contract.
Because the link was tied to the work and contact, chargeback evidence pulls from room history and invoice PDFs in one place.
Payment links vs full invoices
Payment links suit fast booth deposits, edition sales, and viewing-room buy-now moments.
Full Invoices suit institutional buyers, VAT detail, proforma wording, and multi-installment plans with separate links per instalment.
