These are instructions for listing Reproductions on BuyArtNow.
If you were looking for info on listing Originals, then click here.
If you have just had some new artwork captured, we can upload them to the website for you, ready for you to complete the listing. We can pre-fill the size and media options for you with the standard 4.2x cost pricing. If you would like to use a different mark-up please chat with us.
LOGIN and edit your images as soon as possible so we can make them live and available for sale. Once logged into your Dashboard, click on Products and edit all the images marked as Drafts. If you don't want to list an image immediately, leave it in Draft mode or delete it if you never want to offer it.
Steps to take...
Title and Permalink -
You can change the title of the artwork. If you do, the Permalink must also be changed for the image to be found. Click EDIT to edit the permalink. Copy and paste the new title into the box provided and click OK. Characters such as commas, apostrophes, etc will be ignored.

Product Type - We've done this for you - don't change it!
We upload all reproductions as "Variable" products, this means we have already created a range of sizes on different media for you. See below for further info on these options.

Category -
We list all new images as Open Edition but you can change this to Limited Edition if you wish.
Add "In Situ" Images -
If you use an App that places your art in room settings, use those images here - click on the PLUS SIGN in the box under the main image. This is a great way to help your clients visualise the artwork in a room in different sizes.

Short Description - Inspire customers to click through to your art
Optional but recommended. This description appears in searches and below the price. This is where you GRAB the client to encourage an extra look. One sentence or phrase is sufficient.
Description - What is the story of this artwork?
This is the main description of the art. The story should act as your silent salesperson. Imagine you are standing in a gallery telling a prospective client the How, Why, When, Where, and Who to encourage them to become invested in it.
Is the reproduction a limited or open edition?
Add the details of the edition here such as...
- Limited Edition of XXX only. Certificate of Authenticity supplied
or
- Open Edition Reproduction
Remember also that this listing is for reproductions, not the original so be cautious not to imply that what they are buying here is an original. If the original is available, add it as a separate product.

Inventory -
Open Editions - ignore this section
Limited Editions -
Check the box to Enable Product Stock Management and set QTY to the Edition number.
The client will NOT see the quantity but will see the product as "Available". NOTE - the actual number available will not be accurate if you sell from other sites or place orders with us for sales elsewhere. It is your responsibility to keep track of edition numbers.
Set the Low Stock Threshold to 5 - when the Stock Quantity reaches 5, the Stock level will show as "Edition nearly sold out"
When the Edition is Sold Out - It is your responsibility to set the artwork as unavailable by choosing one of these options...
A: Delete it from your store
B: Update stock quantity to 0
C: Un-Check the box to Enable Product Stock Management and set Stock Status to Out of Stock

SEO - Optional
While SEO is important, your main page SEO is more important than individual artworks. It's up to you if you want to spend the time adding details into this section.
