Atelier.Gallery vs Manual Art Fair Checkout

Manual checkout can work at small volume, but QR-based flows reduce buyer drop-off and admin overhead as event traffic grows.

Manual Checkout Tradeoffs

• Longer payment handling time per collector
• Higher risk of inventory confusion during busy windows
• Harder follow-up and receipt consistency

Atelier.Gallery Benefits

• Collector self-serve checkout via scan
• Faster status changes for sold works
• Cleaner records for post-event analysis

Who Should Switch From Manual Checkout

Artists should switch when event traffic is high enough that manual invoicing, payment links, or verbal sold tracking starts slowing down the buying moment.

Who Can Stay Manual A Bit Longer

Very occasional sellers with a tiny inventory and low event traffic may be able to stay manual until checkout friction becomes noticeable.
