Next, all you have to do is upload high resolution images (preferably 300 dpi) of at least 3 prints you would like to sell on Artfully Walls, along with your PayPal information and relevant tax form, so that we can pay you once your work sells. Additionally, it would be great if you included in your store some biographical information about yourself (a short bio, CV, artist statement, profile photo) so that consumers who are interested in purchasing your work can learn more about who you are.

What if I don’t receive a verification e-mail after I create an account?

First, check your Spam folder to make sure the mail wasn’t sent there. If you still did not receive the verification e-mail, please send us an e-mail at support@artfullywalls.com with the subject Verify My E-mail Address.

Do I need to include a profile image?

Your profile image is not mandatory, however, we recommend you include one, because consumers are interested in seeing the person behind the art.

How do I update the name that appears in my profile?

What if I no longer want to sell a certain print on your site?
