NOTE: We have chosen to use “Add to Cart” over the old PayPal "Buy Now" buttons. The "Add to Cart" terminology is more up to date. Also it 'feels like' less of a commitment for your buyer than "Buy Now" since it is just "Putting the artwork in the cart." |
Once you mark an image as Sold, it will not show the Add to Cart button.
See this FAQ: How to Change Artwork to Show as Sold, Removing Add to Cart Buttons

NOTES:::
- FASO does not charge any commission fee on your sales.
- FASO does not process the transactions.
- PayPal or Stripe handle the money aspect of the sale. The funds are never, at anytime, in the FASO system. We would not be withholding funds ever.
- If a transaction was successfully processed by PayPal, PayPal will hold the funds in your PayPal account or release them to your bank account. The action taken is dependent upon your settings in your PayPal account.
- If a transaction was successfully processed by Stripe, Stripe will release the funds by making a payout to the bank account registered in your Stripe account.
- Both merchant services will alert you by sending you an email. If there is a problem with receiving your funds, you will need to contact PayPal or Stripe.
