The Artoficial model

How Artoficial works

One formula. Complete transparency. A marketplace that rewards real attention.

The formula

followers × artwork # × €0.10

Every Artoficial-priced work uses the same formula. No dealer markups, no hidden variables. Just followers, artwork sequence, and a fixed rate — updating live.

Pricing type A

The price that
moves with you

When an artist chooses Artoficial pricing, a permanent sequence number is assigned to that artwork. The price recalculates live every time the artist gains or loses a follower — rewarding collectors who buy early and believe in the artist's growth.

  • Sequence number assigned at upload — permanent and never reassigned
  • Price recalculates automatically with every follow or unfollow event
  • Full price history visible on the artwork page — every change logged
  • Collectors who buy early benefit as the artist grows
  • No Make An Offer button — the formula is the price, no exceptions

Set by artist

When an artist sets their own price, it stays fixed — regardless of follower count. Perfect for studies, editions, or pieces they want to keep accessible. The same commission tiers apply, and collectors can make offers if the artist allows it.

  • You set the price — it stays exactly where you put it
  • Minimum price: €10 per work
  • No sequence number — this artwork lives outside the live system
  • Same commission tiers apply as Artoficial-priced works
  • Toggle offers on or off — you decide if collectors can negotiate
  • Resale royalties still protect you — 10% automatically on every resale
For collectors

From discovery
to your wall

Four simple steps — and complete transparency at every one.

01
Discover artists and follow the ones you believe in
Browse every artist on the platform. Follow the ones whose work moves you — your follow directly raises the price of every Artoficial-priced work they own. You're not just watching, you're participating.
02
Browse their works — see exactly how each price is calculated
Every Artoficial-priced work shows the live formula: followers × sequence × €0.10. Fixed-price works show the artist's set price. No guessing, no hidden markups — the price is always explained in full.
03
Click Buy Now — price locked for 20 minutes
The moment you click, a Stripe payment intent locks the current price for 20 minutes. Pay within that window and the artwork is yours at exactly that price. If the window lapses, the artwork returns to market.
04
Your work ships — commission agreement generated automatically
Every sale generates a legal commission agreement PDF. The artist is paid (minus platform fee based on their tier), you receive shipping confirmation, and the work appears in your collection.

Private negotiation

Not every sale needs to be
take it or leave it

On fixed-price and resale listings, collectors can open a conversation. Artists and sellers choose whether offers are welcome — and every negotiation stays on-platform, in private.

Your offer

Pending
Awaiting artist response · expires in 5 days
1
Collector submits an offer
Any amount — lower, equal, or higher than the listed price. An optional message can be added. The artwork is marked as offer pending.
2
Seller responds within 7 days
Accept, counter with a different price, or decline. If no response in 7 days, the offer automatically expires and the artwork returns to available.
3
Negotiate freely, in private
As many rounds as needed. Offer amounts and messages are private between buyer and seller — never shown publicly.
Accepted — 20 minutes to pay
When both sides agree, checkout opens at the negotiated price. Same Stripe flow, same commission structure, same legal agreement.

Offer system is available on all fixed-price works and resales where the seller has enabled offers. Artoficial-priced works cannot receive offers — the formula is the price.
