FinerWorks virtual inventory is a system that allows artists and photographers to save their artwork as pre-configured products within their FinerWorks account. Instead of having to re-upload and set up a print’s specifications (like size, paper type, and framing) every time an order comes in, a virtual inventory item acts like a blueprint for a product. This streamlines the print-on-demand and order fulfillment process.
How It Works
The system is designed to simplify selling on third-party platforms like Shopify, Squarespace, WooCommerce or Etsy. Here’s a breakdown of the key steps:
- Create Virtual Inventory Items: An artist uploads their digital image to FinerWorks. They then create a virtual inventory item from this image, which involves specifying all the product details like size, print medium (e.g., giclée fine art paper, canvas), and framing options. Each virtual inventory item is assigned a unique **SKU** (Stock Keeping Unit) that begins with “AP”.
- Sync with an Online Store: The artist lists the product in their own online store (e.g., a framed print of their artwork). When they create the listing, they enter the unique SKU from FinerWorks’ virtual inventory into the SKU field of their store’s product variant.
- Order Fulfillment: When a customer purchases the product from the artist’s online store, the order is transmitted to FinerWorks through an integration app (e.g., for Shopify or Etsy). FinerWorks uses the SKU to identify the exact product from the virtual inventory and produces it on demand.
- Shipping and Branding: FinerWorks then prints, packages, and ships the product directly to the customer. The packing slip and shipping label can be customized with the artist’s name and logo, making it appear as though the order was shipped directly from them.
Key Advantages
- Efficiency: It eliminates the need for artists to manually set up each print each time they order, saving a significant amount of time, especially for those with high order volumes or who sell the same products repeatedly.
- Print on Demand: Artists don’t need to hold physical inventory. Prints are only created when an order is placed, reducing waste and financial risk.
- Integration: It connects an artist’s online storefront with FinerWorks’ fulfillment center, creating a smooth, automated workflow from sale to delivery.
Only lower resolution web versions of the images are shown. These contain a watermark which provides some protection. If you are too worried that people will copy your web viewable images, we recommend not participating in the gallery experience.
Starting in 2026, existing GeoGalleries members will be able to continue to use and offer GeoGalleries. New members must be a paying FinerWorks customer or can sign up to be a paid registered artist.
Aside from having artistic value, the image must be a suitable print quality/resolution. It must also be properly titled, include a well written description, and be submitted to the appropriate category and assigned to a collection.
No. Buyers can only purchase printed works.
Reporting of your sales is done through the Geo Galleries reporting interface. Sales are shown after an order is shipped.
GeoGalleries prices prints at three times the standard FinerWorks print cost (frames and mats are not included in this markup).
Artists can also earn 10% shared revenue on any frames, mats, or glazing that are added to the order. Because of this, offering your artwork framed and matted is strongly recommended.
When a print is sold, GeoGalleries keeps a seller’s fee. This fee includes:
- The base cost of the unframed print (what the artist would normally pay FinerWorks), and
- An additional 10% administrative fee, calculated from the unframed print cost.
Example:
If a large canvas print costs $100 at FinerWorks, GeoGalleries will list it for $300.
When the print sells, the artist receives the remaining amount after the $100 print cost, and a $30 administrative fee is deducted
| Description | Amount | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Retail Price (Set by GeoGalleries) | $300.00 | Total paid by the customer |
| Production Cost | -$100.00 | FinerWorks wholesale print cost |
| Administrative Fee | -$30.00 | 10% of Retail Price |
| Artist Earnings | $170.00 | Your total profit on the print |
| Bonus: Artists also receive an additional 10% Shared Revenue on any framing, matting, or glazing selected by the customer. | ||
You must have a PayPal account. Your earnings will be paid out on a monthly basis for any sales 30 days or older.
We plan to integrate a new system that will allow direct payment to your financial institution, which will allow weekly payments as the platform grows. When this will happen is not set, but it will be announced in the newsletter.
Geo Galleries will offer a set of default print products; however, if you have a set of 3 or more print products in your virtual inventory assigned to the image you are showing, then this will be used in place of the default products.
Geo Galleries will reserve the right to adjust based on the advice of FinerWorks production staff when it comes to optimizing the file for printing. This will be limited to any necessary sizing and cropping adjustments or color correction as FinerWorks deems necessary. Artists’ recommended adjustments may be considered; however are not guaranteed.
No. You retain full ownership of your images and you may remove them at any time.
