Artwork Commission Checkout Form

Custom Artwork Commission Checkout Made Simple

Taking commissions is one of the most rewarding ways for artists to connect with clients—but managing quotes, options, and payments can quickly get messy. This Artwork Commission Checkout Form streamlines the entire process, from initial brief to final payment, so you can focus on creating instead of chasing details.

Built for artists and creative professionals

Whether you're a painter, illustrator, digital artist, or sculptor, this template is designed to capture everything you need upfront: canvas or print size, framing preferences, subject matter, style notes, and delivery timelines. Clients can choose from preset options or request custom specifications, and your pricing updates live as they build their order.

Paperform's calculation engine lets you set dynamic pricing rules—charge by size, add framing costs, apply rush fees, or offer discounts for repeat clients—all without spreadsheets or back‑and‑forth emails. Clients see their total in real time, so there are no surprises at checkout.

Flexible payment options that work for high‑ticket art

Commissioned artwork often costs hundreds or thousands of dollars, and asking for full payment upfront isn't always realistic. This form supports installment payments via Stripe, so you can request a deposit now and schedule the balance for later, or split the total across multiple milestones.

You can also toggle between one‑time payments, subscriptions, or custom schedules depending on your business model. Payments are processed securely through Paperform's native Stripe, PayPal, or Square integrations, with no code required.

Keep clients in the loop with progress photo updates

Clients love seeing their commission come to life. This form collects preferences around progress updates—whether they want work‑in‑progress photos at key stages, check‑ins before finalising details, or a single reveal at the end. You can use this information to set expectations and build excitement, turning one‑time buyers into long‑term supporters.

After the form is submitted, you can use Stepper to automate follow‑up emails, send calendar reminders for each milestone, or even trigger a request for approval before moving to the next phase. Everything stays organised, and your client feels involved without slowing you down.

E‑sign agreements with Papersign

Commissions often involve creative briefs, licensing terms, or usage rights. Instead of printing, scanning, or emailing PDFs, use Papersign to turn your form submission into a commission agreement and send it for secure eSignature. The signed contract links back to the original form, so you have a clean audit trail from brief to delivery.

This is especially useful for commercial commissions, collaborative projects, or any scenario where you need sign‑off before starting work.

Who this template is for

This form is perfect for:

• Independent artists and illustrators selling custom paintings, portraits, murals, or digital artwork
• Graphic designers and calligraphers taking on branding, wedding signage, or hand‑lettered pieces
• Sculptors and makers offering bespoke furniture, ceramics, or metalwork
• Tattoo artists collecting design briefs and deposits for custom tattoos
• Agencies and studios managing multiple commission‑based projects for clients

With Paperform, you get a checkout experience that feels as professional as your portfolio—fully branded, mobile‑friendly, and built to convert. Start taking commissions with confidence, and let Paperform handle the details.
