Hey, I've been curious about how artists can sell online while keeping their finances safe—any tools or tricks you swear by?

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.
