Activating Recessed Framed Prints

To make your experience easier, some designs will be automatically enabled on your behalf. If you have framed art prints enabled, we’ve automatically applied those designs to recessed framed prints due to their similar aspect ratios and product details. Visit your Artist Studio to review and enable any additional artwork that you want to offer on this product.

Reminder: We launch new products to artists before making them available to customers in order to allow for merchandising and time for artists to update their shops. At first, recessed prints will not be included in the “Wall Art” dropdown in the main navigation on our site. Once it launches to customers, you’ll be able to find it there.

Activating recessed framed prints is easier than ever, especially if you already have framed art prints enabled. If you have artwork enabled on framed art prints, those designs will be automatically enabled on our all-new recessed framed prints. To review, visit your Artist Studio and click on “My Products.” Then, click on “Recessed Framed Prints” under “New Products” at the top of the page. Any creatives that have been automatically enabled will appear under “Enabled.”

If you have assets that fit the requirements for recessed framed prints but weren’t automatically enabled, they will appear under “Disabled.” To view and enable those creatives, navigate to the “My Products” section of your Artist Studio and select “Recessed Framed Prints” under “New Products.” You can “Select All” and then click “Enable” to activate all of the designs that meet the asset requirements at once.

Special Considerations for Editing Recessed Framed Prints

The orientation of your uploaded asset will determine the orientation of the product. In other words, uploading a vertical asset will result in a vertically-oriented product and uploading a horizontal asset will result in a horizontally-oriented product. 

Recessed framed prints will default to a 10% markup but you can easily adjust it at any time. To change your markup on all recessed prints, navigate to your Artist Studio and click on the “My Artwork” section. Then, click on “Set Store Markups” in the upper right corner. A pop up will then appear where you can adjust the markups on all markup-able products, including recessed framed prints.

If you would like to adjust the markup for a specific artwork, navigate to the “My Artwork” section of your Artist Studio and click on the artwork you’d like to adjust. Scroll down and select “Set artwork markup,” which is located on the left hand side.  A pop up will appear that allows you to adjust all markup-able products for the artwork you’ve selected.
