Found within your seller console, your Rise Art analytics dashboard is a tool designed to help you optimise your online presence. Track views, ‘adds to wishlists’, followers, and sales to see what's working well and where you can improve. More information
CREATING YOUR SELLERS ACCOUNT
When you log in for the first time to the seller console, you’ll be taken through a series of onboarding questions. Here’s what we’ll ask and why:
- Preferred currency - to set your prices and the currency in which you’ll be paid
- Where you’ll ship from - this can help collectors understand any additional shipping costs and custom duties
- How long you’ll need to dispatch a work following a sale - so collectors know when to expect delivery
Additional Information:
- If you’re selling through a company or gallery
- VAT status*
- Payment details
Please note: there is no fee to join or use the Rise Art platform. This information is so we can pay you in the event of a sale.
*Rise Art only charges VAT on their commission for UK sellers. However, VAT registered EU sellers may want their VAT status declared on their commission statements for their own accounting purposes.
You’ll also be asked to upload a scan of a government-issued ID (e.g. driver licence or passport) for anti-money laundering regulations and to verify your legal name.
