How to set up and use Artlogic Pay

Last edited: 04 June 2025 06:26

Artlogic Pay allows you to give your clients the option to pay for an invoice online.

Using a secure integration with Stripe, clients can use credit or debit cards or one-time Direct Debit payment options such as Bacs, SEPA or ACH, to pay for invoices using a payment link created in the Artlogic Database. 

For other general FAQs like which payment methods are accepted see Artlogic Pay FAQs

How does Artlogic Pay work?

Artlogic Pay works using a Stripe integration with your Database. 

When generating an invoice from within Artlogic, you will have the option of creating a payment link. Send this link to your client for them to pay the invoice online. Your client will be taken to an online payment window to complete the transaction using a credit or debit card or by direct debit.

Once complete, the transaction will be reflected within Artlogic. The client will receive an email confirming that their payment has been successful.

You will need to create a new Artlogic-only Stripe account to use Artlogic Pay. To find out how to integrate Stripe refer to How to integrate Stripe with the Artlogic Database below. 

Can I select which invoices to use it with?

Yes. You will have the option to choose when an invoice has a payment link generated for it. Payment links will work with invoices of 40 artworks or less. This is due to a limitation set by Stripe.

How to integrate Stripe with the Artlogic Database

Please note: The following changes can only be completed by a user with administrative access.

Stripe account requirements

The exact requirements vary depending on where your business entity is located. We suggest having the following to hand to speed up the onboarding process.

• Customer Support phone number
• Bank routing and account number
• Set-up 2FA
• Details of business owner
• Legal business name
• Business address
• Business phone number
• Website URL

Step 1: Creating a new Stripe account

Step 2: Add information to your gallery settings 

Set your main contact details to allow customers to easily get in touch for questions about their payments. These details are used centrally across your database and are not specific to Artlogic Pay.

2. Click Continue.
3. Upload a logo. It’s best to use a logo without a background or a logo with a white background
4. Click Continue.
