You will also need to sign-up for a STRIPE payment processing account, which is fairly straightforward. See Step 5: STRIPE Account opening instructions, below.
(Before continuing with applying to sell your art, however, you may find the item at the bottom of this page to be worth an initial look, namely: Call to all Scotland Associated Artists)
Step 1 – Artist Membership Sign-Up Page
Sign-up Details
STEP 1: In order to join ScotsyArt as an Artist to Sell your art, the first sign-up step is to go to the Artist Membership application page. The ‘Artist Membership’ page button is located in Top menu bar and is the third menu item from the right.
There are three Membership Plan options. Plan descriptions are detailed below the membership plans screenshot.
Plan Descriptions
- BASIC Plan
This is a FREE plan. There is no signup commitments with this sell art Scotland scheme, only a 10% commission charge on any sales. You can list as many artworks as you like and relist when stock runs out, without any charge. Also, you can cancel the plan or upgrade to a paid plan at any time. - MONTHLY Plus Plan
The monthly sell art Scotland Artist membership plan is the most popular. The first month is completely free. Other conditions are the same as the Basic Plan except the commission rate is just 6%. In addition, of course there is a £5 per month charge. Again, cancel or upgrade to the Annual Plan at any time. Or, downgrade if its your preference. - ANNUAL Plus Plan
The third plan is similar to the monthly plan except for the £60 per year ‘sell art Scotland’ payment required. This plan is ideal if you want to sell wholesale to Trade outlets, in addition to retail. The commission rate is only 4% . You can cancel, with no costs within the 30 day trial period. However, after that you will be committed to each yearly charge to be paid, from the first payment month until cancellation.
