It’s here! Your redesigned Artist Shop is live and ready to customize.
We’re excited to unveil an all-new version of Artist Shops, featuring updates to your shop’s appearance and functionality, along with enhanced customization options. Building on our recent website refresh, this update transforms how you can showcase your work.
Keep reading to explore what’s new.
New Layout Overview
You may have noticed that your Artist Shop has a fresh look and feel. The new layout and homepage give your store a more polished appearance while allowing you and your work to take center stage. Let’s take a look at some of the changes.
All-New Shop ‘About’ Page
When visiting your Artist Shop, you’ll see that it defaults to a newly designed homepage. The new homepage includes the following:
A larger avatar: If you already had an avatar uploaded, it will appear in your updated shop and if you don’t have an avatar, now is the time to upload one! We recommend using a clear photo of yourself, this personal touch can help build trust with customers. The suggested file size is 237 x 237 pixels.
Featured designs carousel: To help further showcase your art, we’ve introduced a design-forward section of your shop found at the top of your shop on the right hand side. This section allows you to highlight new artwork or your personal favorite pieces, giving them extra visibility. You’ll see that 3 designs are already included here but this section is customizable – we’ll get into the details about how to edit your featured designs below.
Best sellers section: On your shop homepage, we’ve added a section that highlights your 4 best selling products. This section is based on sales data and will automatically display top performers.
IMPORTANT UPDATE — New link structure: You’ll notice that your new shop has a slightly different URL than the previous version. Your previous shop link will be automatically redirected to this new link but we recommend updating your links where possible and using the new link going forward.
Updates to Artist Shop ‘Shop’ and ‘Design’ Tabs
Things have moved around a bit so next to your ‘About’ tab, which is your new shop homepage, you’ll find ‘Shop’ and ‘Design’ tabs. In these tabs you’ll find the following updates:
New page sorting: Both pages default to a new ‘Relevance’ sort, which is optimized for both performance and user experience and is determined by several factors that indicate that a product will be most pertinent to a customer. Clicking on the button will allow customers to change the sort to newest, best sellers, lowest to highest, or highest to lowest.
Expanded filtering: Both your shop and design tabs now feature expanded filtering options so customers can find exactly what they’re looking for. Instead of only being able to filter by department and product type in your shop, customers now have the ability to sort by the following: product type, style, color, medium, subject, pattern, and keyword. In your design tab, there are options to filter by department, style, and color.
To Note: At this time, we’ve temporarily disabled access to favorites and collections. All of your favorited designs and curated collections are safe and will not be lost. We’re working to reintroduce these features in the future. When new favorites and collections become available, they will be for personal use only and no longer publicly visible.
Customizing Your New Shop
As we touched on earlier, there are now a variety of new ways to personalize your shop. By logging into your Artist Shop and visiting the ‘Your Shop’ tab at the bottom of the lefthand column, you’ll be taken to the editing page for your shop. Here are the details so you can start editing now:
Link to your Instagram: In the upper right corner of your Artist Shop editing page, you’ll see the Instagram icon. Click on the pencil next to it to link your Instagram account.
New shop information fields: In the ‘About the Artist’ section, you’ll see that there are 3 new fields that have been added to your shop profile: location, medium, and style. Click on the pencil icon in the upper right corner of the section to add that information to your shop.
Featured artwork carousel: To select the 3 designs you’d like included in your featured artwork carousel, click on the pencil icon next to the section to update the designs.
Option to add a video to your shop: We are now able to add a video block in your Artist Shop. Some ideas include: work in progress, close up of products, day in the life, video of your workspace, or about the artist. To add a video to your shop, please submit it through this form. Required specs are 1280 × 720 MP4.
