  • This is located in ‘Art store settings’ > ‘Product list’
  • Next, click ‘Import all’ if you wish to push all your products to WooCommerce. Alternatively, import products individually. Learn more about this here.
  • Your imported products can be found in your WooCommerce/Wordpress account by selecting ‘products’ from the main menu

Step 6: Add a payment card to enable order fulfillment

When you sell a print in your WooCommerce/Wordpress store, the customer pays you the full amount via your chosen payment method (this is configured in WooCommerce main settings).

To do this, click your profile icon in the top right of the page and select ‘Art store settings’ from the drop down options.

Next, click ‘Payment settings’ on the left hand side menu.
