Art Storefronts does not publish plan prices. Here is how its pricing process works, what shapes the total cost, and how to compare it with other options.

Art Storefronts Pricing: How the Cost Is Set and What to Ask

When you are pricing a website for your art, the first thing to settle is where your work will live. Most artists want it on their own domain, with a shop that can take orders. Art Storefronts is one of the companies that offers that kind of site, and "how much does Art Storefronts cost" is one of the most common questions artists search about it.

The short answer is that Art Storefronts does not list plan prices on its website. Its pricing page leads to a form for booking a call.¹ This guide explains how that process works, what shapes the total cost, and which questions to ask so you can compare it fairly with other options. Everything about Art Storefronts comes from its own website, checked on October 16, 2026. We make Brakebee, so our own service is described in a clearly marked section.

For a broader look at the platform's features and whether it is legit, see our Art Storefronts review.

How Art Storefronts pricing works

The pricing page asks for your type of business, whether you have sold art before, where your work can be seen, your name, email and phone number, and your current marketing situation and budget.¹ The company says a phone number is required because the first step is a call.¹

That first call lasts five to ten minutes. Art Storefronts describes it as a review of your art and a check on whether the service is a good fit, and it says the representatives cannot sell you anything on that call.¹ If both sides want to continue, you can schedule a longer demo, which is where the cost is discussed.¹

What affects the total cost

Because the price is set in conversation, it helps to know which parts of the service can change the total. Based on what Art Storefronts publishes, these are the areas to ask about:^1,2

The plan itself. Ask for the recurring cost and whether it is billed monthly or yearly.
Setup and onboarding. Ask whether setup is included and what a dedicated support rep helps with after signup.
Store size. Additional store pages or a larger product count are handled by custom quote.
Print fulfillment. You can fulfill orders yourself or use Art Storefronts fulfillment. Ask how print and shipping costs are passed on and what margin you keep.
Marketing services. Coaching, consulting and other marketing help are part of the pitch. Ask which are included and which are add-ons.
Custom code. The company says custom code is not covered by its technical support under the license, so outside developer help would be a separate cost.

Questions to ask on the call

Bring a written list and note each answer:

What is the total recurring cost, and what does it include?
Is there a setup fee, and what does setup cover?
Are there fees on each sale or on print orders?
How long is the commitment, and how do I cancel?
If I leave, do I keep my domain, my images and my customer list?
Which marketing services cost extra?

With those answers in hand, you can line up the full yearly cost against any other option.
