From inquiry to delivery, in four steps
Connect your accounts once, then keep taking commissions the way you already do.
- 01
Connect WhatsApp Business or Instagram
Connect your business account to Orders App through the official Meta API. Setup is guided and takes a few minutes.
- 02
Clients brief you in chat
They send the subject, size, deadline, and references the way they already talk.
- 03
The commission becomes an order
Orders App reads the chat and puts the brief, size, deadline, and payment into one order.
- 04
Make and deliver the piece
Review the captured details, update the status, and manage the commission until you ship or hand it over.
Everything you need to manage commissions
Order management for artists taking commissions. Not a studio system to configure.
Automatic order capture
Turn commission inquiries from WhatsApp and Instagram into organized orders without copying the brief by hand.
Brief and size together
Keep the subject, size, medium, and deadline together with the order.
Clients and deadlines in one place
Keep the client, the piece, the due date, and payment on one order.
Editable order details
Update the order when a client changes the pose, the size, or the deadline.
Clear order statuses
Track which commissions are new, in progress, paid, packed, shipped, completed, or cancelled.
Deposit and balance
Orders App checks payment details in the conversation and marks the order paid or unpaid.
Why commissions get messy in chat
A few briefs are easy to remember. As inquiries pile up, a deadline or a revision is easy to miss.
The brief arrives in pieces
Size, pose, and deadline often show up across several messages.
References get buried
Clients send photos and screenshots. Finding the right one later takes time.
Revisions hide in the thread
A change to the pose or the colors can land days after the first message.
Deadlines mix with new inquiries
A piece due Friday sits next to three new briefs.
Deposits are hard to track
Half now and half later sit next to questions about the sketch.
Spreadsheets take evenings
Copying every brief by hand creates extra work and extra mistakes.
Share your Store URL
If you do not use WhatsApp Business or Instagram Business, you can still take commissions with Orders App. Share your-store.orders.app so clients can describe the piece, enter contact details, or upload references. Once confirmed, the order appears in your Orders list.
Built for artists who take commissions
If clients message you a brief and a deadline, you belong here.
Illustrators
Portrait artists
Commission sketch artists
Digital artists
Custom art sellers
Print and original sellers
A portrait due in May and a same-month print order arrive as the same kind of message. The brief, the size, and the deposit stay on the order, so a long commission and a quick print are equally easy to find.
Chats and spreadsheets vs Orders App
The same commission details, either hunted down in an inbox or waiting on the order.
