From there you need to complete
6 steps, fill in all information
and your Artwork will be listed and accessible to the community.
Step 1: UPLOAD IMAGES
Uploading image files
Start by uploading your Artwork image files.
The files should be in .jpg or .png format, at least 1200 by 1500 pixels and less than 20MB in size.
You can upload up to 5 images. The Full frontal is required and the other four are optional: Artwork close up, signature close up, in home interior, packaging & certificate)
Crop into thumbnails
Then crop the images you uploaded into thumbnails.
Thumbnails appear below your Artwork and across the site.
Crop your images into thumbnails to capture the elements you see fit.
Step 2: CLASSIFICATION
Enter or select the attributes of your Artwork:
Step 3: DIMENSIONS
Select orientation
Select how is your Artwork oriented: landscape, portrait, square?
If your Artwork does not match the choices below, please select the closest shape.
Dimensions
Before deciding to purchase an Artwork, a majority of Buyers start by allocating space for it.
Help them out by entering the exact dimensions and weight of your Artwork.
If your Artwork is framed, enter the dimensions of the Artwork without the frame.
For works on paper, we suggest entering a depth of 0.1
You can change your preferred measurement system, switching from Metric (Centimeters & Kilograms) to Imperial (Inches & Pounds) and vice versa. Doing so changes your preference across the site.
Step 4: SHIPPING
Select packaging
Select the packaging in which you will send your Artwork: letter, box or tube?
Package dimensions and weight
Please be extremely accurate in providing the package dimensions, weight and pick up address.
Shipping cost will automatically be calculated by our courier partners based on the package dimensions, weight and pick up address you provide in this section.
Minimum entry is 2.54 CM or 1 INCH.
Attention
BLISSART’s shipping account will be used to process the shipment, so subsequent costs will be incurred by BLISSART. If the actual shipping weight, dimensions and origin is significantly different from the information you provided, BLISSART reserves the right to deduct any additional cost from your credited sales.
You can change your preferred measurement system, switching from Metric (Centimeters & Kilograms) to Imperial (Inches & Pounds) and vice versa. Doing so changes your preference across the site.
Step 5: IN WORDS
Share your world
Understanding the mindset of the Artist they’re supporting is something that Buyers tend to like.
Share your Inspiration, Technique and Materials as well as details about your packaging to both enlighten and reinsure them.
Your words appear on the Artwork details pop up.
Step 6: PRICING
Enter your listing price
Your listing price is the amount you earn from the sale of your Artwork. It is equivalent to 54% of the retail price paid by the Buyer.
The maximum listing price is established by combining two factors: the area slab of your Artwork (calculated as H x W) and your sales level.
To access the Artworks you have listed, go to the “ARTWORKS” page of your “ATELIER”.
To
edit
an Artwork, hover over it with your mouse and click on the button
“Edit”
that appears.
You are then taken to the Artwork upload steps. Chose the relevant step, edit the information and save.
To
delete
an Artwork, hover over it with your mouse and click on the button
“Delete”
that appears.
You are then prompted to confirm your selection and your Artwork gets permanently deleted as you do so.
We highly recommend refraining from deleting listed Artworks – especially Artworks that are exhibited on galleries as fellow Art enthusiasts are actively promoting and selling them.
You find the following information on your Artworks:
You find the following information below your Artworks:
The maximum listing price of an Artwork is established by combining two factors: the area slab of your Artwork (calculated as H x W) and your sales level.
The mention (Max Price) is visible on
Artworks listed at the maximum listing price.
Every time you level up, you can charge more for your Artworks, hence the mention (Max Price) disappears unless you edit and increase to the maximum listing price enabled by the new level.
The “Incomplete” tag is present on Artworks that miss some information or a lack verified pick up address.
To complete any missing information , edit the Artwork, review the upload steps and enter any missing details. All information fields need to be filled for an Artwork to be “complete” and accessible to the community.
To
attach a verified pickup address to your Artwork
, access the SHIPPING step (step 4) and select a verified address. If an address you added is not verified or invalid, you will not see it there.
If you have no verified address, you can create a new one by clicking the button that reads “Add a new address” or you can go to your existing ADDRESSES page in your SETTINGS and correct existing addresses.
If you see the mention X (Address Invalid) next to Pickup Address, the address you had attached to the Artwork that was once verified is not valid anymore and the Artwork is tagged as “Incomplete” as a consequence.
To fix it, go to your existing
ADDRESSES
page in your
SETTINGS
and correct the address.
The mentions “Incomplete” and X (Address Invalid) are automatically removed as the address is verified and the Artwork accessible to the community.
Note that when you change an existing address attached to multiple Artworks, you change the Pickup address of all those Artworks.
Whenever you add a new address, we check if real time shipping rates can be computed based on it.
When shipping rates are successfully returned, the address is tagged as verified (Address Verified).
When no shipping rates are returned, the address is tagged as invalid (Address Invalid).
BLISSART’s shipping accounts are used to process shipments, so subsequent costs are incurred by BLISSART.
If the actual shipping weight, dimensions and origin are significantly different from the information you provided, BLISSART reserves the right to deduct any additional cost from your credited sales.
