Give Each Artist a Portal to Check Their Own Sales

Pay Artists in Clicks, Not Hours

Pay Artists in Clicks, Not Hours

When it's time to pay, one click sends each artist their earnings through PayPal or Stripe. Set up automated weekly or monthly payouts and stop treating payout day like a part-time job.

Your Gallery, Your Brand

Your Gallery, Your Brand

The artist portal carries your logo, your colors, and optionally your custom domain. When artists log in, they see your gallery's brand - not a third-party app.

You represent the artists. Shopify powers the store. But who tracks what each artist is owed?

An online art gallery on Shopify is a store where you sell work from multiple artists - paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, mixed media - and each artist earns a commission on their sales. Some galleries take a flat percentage. Others negotiate different rates per artist or per collection. Either way, you need to track who created what, what sold, and how much each artist is owed. Shopify doesn't do this natively.

PuppetVendors adds the artist management layer to your Shopify store. Each artist gets a profile and a portal. When a piece sells, the app automatically attributes the sale to the right artist, calculates their commission, and logs it. You can pay artists manually with one click or set up automated payouts. No spreadsheets, no end-of-month scrambles, no "I think we owe Sarah $1,200 but let me double-check."

The Harder Parts of Running a Online Art Galleries on Shopify

The Harder Parts of Running a Online Art Galleries on Shopify

01

Every artist has a different deal. Artist A gets 60% on originals but 40% on prints. Artist B gets a flat 50%. Artist C is on a trial with 30% for the first six months. Tracking these variations in a spreadsheet is doable until it isn't.

02

When a piece sells, you have to figure out who gets paid. Export orders. Cross-reference against artist inventory. Calculate the commission. Factor in whether the piece was discounted. Check if there's a frame surcharge that doesn't count toward commission. Then do this for every sale, every month.

03

Artists want to know what's happening with their work. "Did my piece sell?" "When do I get paid?" "How many people viewed my collection?" If you can't answer these questions quickly, you're either pulling reports or losing artist trust.

04

Adding a new artist should be exciting. Not another row in the spreadsheet. Every new artist brings fresh work, a new audience, and more revenue potential. But if onboarding means rebuilding your commission formulas and adding another name to your manual payout list, growth slows down.

Here are the answers to the most common demo and setup queries.

Can I set different commission rates for different artists?

Yes. You can set rates at the shop level, per artist, per product, or per SKU. So if one artist gets 60% on originals and 40% on prints, you set that once and every sale calculates automatically. You can also set different rates for the same artist across collections.

Do artists get their own login?

Can artists upload their own work through the portal?

How is this different from selling on Artsy or Saatchi Art?

Does this work with Shopify POS for in-person gallery sales?

I currently use spreadsheets to track artist commissions. How hard is it to switch?
