Learn more about selling paintings

  • While art has been traditionally sold in person at various galleries worldwide, it has never been easier for artists to sell their work or for curators to sell their collections online. Artists can start by sharing their artwork on platforms such as Instagram to gain traction and exposure. Afterward, they can create an online store and begin selling online.

  • Your paintings deserve a wide audience. Launching an online store with Shopify gives your brand a home and customers a welcoming shopping destination. Connect your store to social media platforms and marketplaces to reach shoppers globally. Consider selling your paintings to local galleries or art fairs—building relationships with other sellers can unlock new sales opportunities.

  • Yes, you can sell your paintings on Shopify. Not only does Shopify offer a wide variety of themes you can use to set the right tone and style for your online store, but you can also integrate with social media platforms to gain more exposure for your paintings. Shopify also features various plugins, including augmented reality plugins you can use to let potential customers preview how their art will look in their home before they purchase it.

  • Even though prices for paintings are subjective, that doesn’t mean that you need to price your paintings on the lower end of the spectrum. If you’re a new artist without much experience, then you can begin by setting an hourly wage and multiplying that wage by the number of hours you spent on your painting. Also include the price of materials and shipping to determine a price that can land you a profit.

  • Matt LeBlanc Art is a perfect example of an online gallery — and it’s built using Shopify. Matt’s store offers various options at different price points for each customer and uses Shopify integrations to provide several payment options for the buyer’s convenience.

  • Launching a painting business is affordable. Shopify makes it easy to start an online store and provides the tools you need to succeed. If you choose to invest in painting production or manage fulfillment, startup costs may vary. Either way, you decide the scale and budget of your painting business.

  • Painting businesses can be profitable, and an ecommerce platform can help increase your revenue. Ecommerce platforms offer sales and marketing tools that make it easier to reach a wide audience.
