Step 6
Why have a Store page?
A dedicated Store page can help guide visitors to purchase items. You can also rename your store page to another name.
However, you can sell items directly from the Artists, Artworks and Publications pages, from your own custom pages through feature panels and/or artwork grids, and/or from viewing rooms.
There are different processes for integrated websites and standalone websites to create your store page, this article will cover both.

Sell items directly from the Artists page, the Artworks page, the Publications page, from your own custom pages through feature panels or artwork grids, or from viewing rooms.
Follow the instructions below, and note that some of the steps or checkboxes will be specific to the Store page. See these links to see what defines an Integrated and Standalone account.
Integrated websites
Because you have an Artlogic Database all Artwork records are managed through the database. Though further customisation in your website CMS will be required. See steps below for details.
Artworks
1. Decide which availabilities allow artworks to be purchased in
Other > Admin > Preferences > Core preferences > General:
2. Confirm the following in each Artwork record > Financial tab:
- The Status & availability match your selection in step 1.
- A Tax status has been entered and the tax rate applied.
- The Retail currency matches the store currency in your website CMS (The currency selected in an artwork record must match the store currency in order to be available for sale online. You can enable currency conversion below so that customers can view and purchase on their preferred currency). To set your store currency go to Online Sales > Currency settings > Store currency and customise your preferences.
- A Retail price has been entered.
3. Select the following in each Artwork record > Website tab to enable online sales:
If these settings aren't present in your Artlogic Database, please contact Support.
4. If you have a Store page, activate one or both of these settings:
- Show in Store section: Display your artwork on the Store page.
- Featured in Store section: Float your artwork to the top of your Store page and display it larger. We recommend selecting only a handful of 'Featured works', selecting lots will mean you'll have lots of large floated items on your website.
Customising Tax rate
- Log into your website CMS > Online Sales > Tax settings.
- Go back to step 4 to read more about customising your sales settings.
- You'll see here that the artwork tax rate is set by the tax rate in each Artlogic Database artwork record. You are able to customise how each label displays and you are also able to 'Include tax in listed price'. Enable this to display full price including tax within product details. If this is not enabled, the price will be listed excluding tax and will only get added in the checkout process.
Standalone websites
