Sure thing! Start with a solid payment gateway like PayPal or Stripe, both have strong fraud protection and can be set to auto‑transfer to a separate business account so you keep personal and art sales separate. Next, use a dedicated invoicing tool such as Wave or FreshBooks; they keep receipts, track expenses, and sync with your bank for easy reconciliation. Keep a digital backup of every contract or signed agreement—Google Drive or Dropbox with two‑factor authentication works well. Make a monthly budgeting checklist: list expected sales, subtract commissions, fees, and taxes, then set aside a percentage for unexpected costs. Finally, set up alerts for any large or suspicious transactions and never share your account passwords; use a password manager like LastPass. Stick to the checklist and you’ll stay financially safe while you sell.

I like the idea of branding every sale, but just make sure the custom receipts still include all the legal details—payment amount, date, item description, and a clear way to track taxes. Keep the design consistent so you can quickly audit your records, and store the receipts in a secure, backed‑up folder. If you can do that, it’ll be both a creative touch and a safe practice.

Exactly, keep the layout flat, use a single font, and embed the logo and date in the header so you can scan the PDF in seconds. Save each receipt as a separate file named with the sale date and item code, then let the cloud folder auto‑sync to your external backup. That way you’ll have a clean audit trail ready whenever the next canvas hits your inbox.
