How do I sell prints and/or notecards?

FASO offers a POD Service!

For selling prints, you can use the POD (Print on Demand) service connected to your FASO account. For more info Click Here.

NOTE: POD is for prints only, not notecards!

Our artists have approached offering prints or notecards in several ways.

  1.  Some artists choose to have a collection setup for cards/prints.
  2.  Some artists choose to have a separate info page for cards/prints.
  3.  Some artists choose to add info about availability of cards/prints in the comment box for the work.
  4.  Other artists prefer to use a Print on Demand service, like the one that FASO offers.
  5.  Some artists choose to use a custom shopping cart created in their PayPal accounts which enables them to offer multiple sizes from a drop down menu.
  6. Others have listed print info in their Collection Description Box.

 Detailed info on each method is listed below.


Important


Option 1 - Set up a Collection for Cards/Prints

See this FAQ for how to set up the collection:
How to Group your Artwork into Collections 

NOTE: If you want your new collection to show on your navigation bar and not be listed with your other collections under your paintings category (Works), set Unlisted Collection to YES.

To display your card/print collection with the rest of your collections under the Works category, leave Unlisted Collection set to NO.

See this FAQ:
Can I hide a collection?


Option 2 - Use a Separate Info Page for Cards/Prints

First Step:
set up a single Page within the Pages Category

  • FASO account Control Panel
  • click More Categories (left hand column)
  • click Pages (right column)
  • click Add New  (a new edit page will open)
  • Add a Title for the page 
  • Add your text
  • Add image(s) in the text editing screen (place cursor in text editing screen where you want image to go; click on image gallery icon (mountains & sun icon on far right); follow instructions)
  • Click ADD to Save

NOTE: you can also add a PayPal custom button to this page.
See this FAQ: Add Custom Paypal Button to a Page

Second Step:
Add the new page to your navigation bar:

  • click on Navigation Menu (left menu bar)
  • click on Page (bottom of left column)
    the drop down will expand - displaying your page title(s).
  • click on / or drag your new Page Title to the Menu Structure column to the right
    (You will now see it listed with other categories currently displayed on your website)
  • *you can also drag current navigation categories seen in the Menu Structure column, [up or down], to reorder them if desired.
  • When finished, Click on the green SAVE button (upper right).

Option 3 - Add Availability Info of cards/prints to the Description Text Field

  • log into FASO account control panel
  • click Artwork icon (top row)
  • click on thumbnail image (left column) or the word Edit (right column) for a particular image
  • scroll down
  • enter text about card/prints in Description text field
  • Save Changes

Option 4 - Use a Print on Demand Service

Print on demand (POD) is a printing technology and business process in which copies of a book (or other document) are not printed until an order has been received, allowing books to be printed singly, or in small quantities.

For selling prints, you can use the POD (Print on Demand) service connected to your FASO account. For more info Click Here.

There are a number of Print on Demand services out there to choose from including:

A Google search will lead you to even more.


Option 5 - Custom Buy Now Buttons offering Multiple Choices

These artists have set up a custom shopping cart in their PayPal accounts so they can offer prints in multiple sizes with drop down options.

Selling prints at multiple sizes/prices can be done quite nicely, and requires some work in both your Paypal account and your FineArtStudioOnline Control Panel.

Following these steps, a couple of our FASO client's have set up their sites to allow for purchasing an item that has multiple sizes/prices/choices. You can see it in action on the following artist sites:

NOTE: each of the above artists are using collections for their prints. They have omitted the price from the retail field for each print image and used a custom PayPal shopping cart button.

This leaves the option open to still use the FASO buy now button and shopping cart for other single works of art.

For a tutorial on how to, see this FAQ:
Add a Buy Now Button with Multiple Choices


Option 6 - List Prices in Collection Description

You can simply list print prices in the Collection Description box. This simple but straightforward approach is attractive and works nicely.

See SarahHarless.com as an example.
