Commission Management for Visual Artists — WordPress Plugin
From Commission
to Gallery.
Automated.
ArtistFlow® turns your WordPress site into a professional commission studio — structured intake matched to your capabilities, automated proposals, Stripe billing, project tracking, customer portal, and a gallery that builds itself from completed work.
Stop Managing Commissions
in Your DMs
Spreadsheets, email chains, PayPal “send money” links, and lost reference images. Sound familiar? ArtistFlow replaces the chaos with a professional system that your customers will love.
Scattered Communication
DMs, emails, texts — important details get lost. ArtistFlow centralizes every conversation in one customer portal.
Awkward Payment Chasing
No more “hey, did you send the deposit?” Automated Stripe invoicing with milestone payments.
Lost Reference Images
Customers upload references directly to their commission. Everything organized, nothing buried in message history.
Scope Creep
The Commission Builder captures exactly what you offer — customers can only request mediums, styles, and sizes you support.
How It Works
Five Steps to a
Professional Studio
From your customer’s first click to a finished piece in your gallery — ArtistFlow manages every step.
Intake
Customer fills out the Commission Builder — a guided form matched to your exact capabilities. Subject, medium, style, size, reference images, budget.
Propose
Review the request, set your price, timeline, and deposit requirement. Send a professional proposal with one click.
Create
Track progress through your pipeline. Send updates, share WIP photos, exchange messages — all from the project dashboard.
Deliver
Digital downloads, physical shipping with tracking details, or local pickup. Final balance auto-invoiced. Customer notified at every step.
Gallery
Completed work flows into your portfolio gallery automatically. AI-enhanced descriptions, watermarking, and a public showcase that sells your next commission.
Built for Both Sides
Your Studio.
Their Experience.
🎨 For the Artist
Define exactly what you offer — mediums, surfaces, subjects, styles, sizes. Customers can only request what you actually do.
Proposed → Approved → In Progress → Review → Completed → Delivered. Drag-and-drop your way through every commission.
Deposits, milestone payments, final invoices — all automated. No more chasing payments or managing spreadsheets.
Completed work flows into your public gallery. Watermarking included on all plans, AI-enhanced descriptions on Standard+.
One click to pause commissions. Customers see your custom message instead of the form.
👤 For the Customer
Step-by-step form that captures every detail the artist needs. No guesswork, no back-and-forth.
Log in to check project status, view progress updates, exchange messages, pay invoices, and download completed work.
Digital art delivered securely through the portal. Physical pieces include the tracking details the artist adds.
Proposal ready, deposit received, progress update, delivery notification — customers stay informed at every stage.
Drag and drop reference images and mood boards directly into the commission request. Everything stays organized.
Standard & Premium

Talk to us →Junior Artist Mode
Built for young artists and their parents. In Junior Artist Mode, the site administrator — typically a parent or guardian — reviews every commission request before the artist sees it, and customer messages stay inside ArtistFlow where the administrator can read them. Video uploads are turned off. Junior Artist Mode needs a published customer portal page.
Included free.
