01Give a commission inquiry a place to develop.The brief and collector conversation stay organized while you assess the work.
  1. Collect the requested work, intended use, timing and contact details through a focused commission form.
  2. Create the customer record and opportunity, then review scope, availability and any missing information yourself.
  3. Send an approved acknowledgement and the agreed questions or consultation invitation through your configured channel.
  4. Stop automated inquiry follow-up on a reply, opt-out, accepted proposal or decline; agree price, rights and delivery in a separate written scope.

  2. Choose a currently supported purchase event or a reviewed staff update as the start of collector follow-up; prevent duplicate enrollment.
  3. Send appropriate care information or a separately consented studio update, while fulfillment messages remain in their agreed system.
  4. Pause on a reply, refund, cancellation, unresolved order issue or opt-out using verified events or a staff update; review supported store and campaign data without counting interest as revenue.

Connection scope
Authorize the store and choose supported import and ongoing sync settings for contacts, orders and transactions. Keep fulfillment and inventory in your store; retain independent marketing-consent records.

A considered fit

Know what belongs here.
And what stays connected.

Keep creative production and specialist selling tools.

Archon.tools can consolidate your portfolio presence, customer relationships, campaigns and reporting. Artwork production, gallery inventory, store fulfillment and specialist project work need their own tools or reviewed connections.

Agree rights, payments and delivery deliberately.

A portfolio image or store connection does not license artwork, calculate royalties or prove provenance. Commission deposits and checkout require approved processor access and testing; secure original-file delivery is a separate configuration, not a promise of this page.

Add categories and services when the practice needs them.

The recommended four cover website, customer hub, campaigns and reporting. Booking, reviews or teaching resources require the relevant selection or Apex; AI text and voice, usage and third-party services have separate setup and costs.

Before you start

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Can I keep my existing art or merchandise store?

Yes. The documented Shopify connection can bring supported customer and order information into the workspace after authorization and setup. Keep your store's inventory, shipping and fulfillment process. Other stores need their own supported connection review; this page does not assume one exists.

Can I handle commissions and collector updates in the same workspace?

Use the customer hub to organize both, with separate stages and audiences. A commission inquiry is not automatic permission for a newsletter. Keep the brief, communication and written agreement clear, and verify promotional consent before starting a campaign.

Can I offer courses or deliver licensed digital artwork?

The courses and communities category can organize your own teaching content and member access when selected. Licensing terms, royalties, private purchased-file delivery and provenance are separate matters requiring an agreed configuration and testing. They are not activated by selecting a creative-business page.
