Online sales settings

Step 4

Where do I manage this?

You will find your store settings in Online Sales.

You can access the different settings sections through the left-hand side menu, or directly from the set up checklist on the online sales Home screen.

You can change these settings at any time, and perfect them before making your store available to the public (going 'live').

Tax settings

You can set up the tax for your items through Online Sales > Tax settings.

Integrated websites

If you have an Artlogic Database, the tax that displays at checkout will come directly from the Artwork record > Financial tab >  Retail price & tax > Tax rate of the artwork record.

Publication and other product records

The Base Tax rate will apply to all publications and products unless the Publications or Other Products tax overrides are indicated in the sections highlighted below.

Standalone websites 

Artwork, Publication, and Product records

If you do not have an Artlogic Database, the Base Tax rate will apply to all items unless the Artwork, Publication, or Other Product tax rate overrides are added to the sections highlighted below.

Artwork records can be customised individually in Artwork record > Tax rate > Customise tax rate.

Multiple tax rates

If a shopping cart has two artworks with two different tax rates, the following will occur:

Example: Shopping cart

Artwork 1
£1,000
£20 — 20% Tax/VAT rate applied in Artwork record (20% of £1,000)

Artwork 2
£1,000
£15 — 15% Tax/VAT rate applied in Artwork record (15% of £1,000)

£35 = Total tax/VAT charged

Currency settings

You can set up currencies for your store through Online Sales > Currency Settings.

Store currency

In order for visitors to add items to their shopping cart, the currency selected in the record must be the same as the store currency.

• Choose the currency of the country you're located in as your base currency.
• If you require multiple currencies, you can use the Currency conversion feature explained below.

Currency conversion

Select which currencies your visitors will be able to choose from. If the currency you need isn't on this list please let us know.

Conversion fee (%)

This percentage field allows you to add an additional amount on top of each currency conversion, due to potential loss at the time of conversion.

Shipping settings

Use this section to determine if the shipping options/charges should be calculated on:

• The combined total weight/volumetric weight of all the items in the cart.
• The weight/volumetric weight of each item individually, provided they are all within one Method.

Notification settings

You can find these settings through Online Sales > Notification Settings.

Email notifications

Use this section to determine the email addresses used for your store and all related customer correspondence.

• Minimum quantity (for example, a minimum quantity of 3 items).
