Sell Prints of Your Artwork and Keep 100% of the Profits
When you upload an image, our system will tell you which print sizes are available based on the size of your image. The larger your image, the larger we can print! For each available print size, you get to specify how much you want to charge for that size (e.g. $50 for a 8" x 10", $75 for a 16" x 20", etc.). The prices that you specify are exactly how much you'll earn when someone buys one of your prints. Plus, you can earn even more (read below).
Earn a 10% Commission on All Papers, Canvases, Frames, Mats, and Assembly Charges!
When someone orders one of your prints, that someone will almost certainly select a frame, mat, or other accessory to go along with the print. You will earn a 10% commission on all accessories that are selected. As an example, let's assume that a visitor to FineArtAmerica.com decides to purchase a 24" x 24" print of your artwork for $50 (i.e. $50 is the price that you set). Let's also assume that the visitor has selected a $100 frame and a $25 mat to go along with the print. Your total earning on this sale would be $50 + $10 + $2.50 = $62.50. That's $50 for the print plus a 10% commission on the frame and a 10% commission on the mat. You'll also earn 10% on the price of the paper and any assembly charges (not discussed in this example for the sake of simplicity).
This is our way of thanking you for doing business with FineArtAmerica.com!
To see a simple example of how this works, click here. On that page, the artist will earn the "Print" price plus 10% of all of the other line items. Try changing the print size and accessories, and you'll see how it works.
Automatic Submission to Google Products
Each print that you offer for sale is automatically submitted to Google Products on a weekly basis. This ensures that your prints are always available for purchase through that service and, thanks to our search engine optimization, that your prints always appear near the top of the search results!

This is our most exciting feature for "print on demand" members. If you have your own website, you can now incorporate our shopping cart system into your own site and sell prints directly from your website! To read more about this feature, click here.
