What Are the Tradeoffs of Manual Checkout?

- Higher risk of inventory confusion during busy windows
- Harder follow-up and receipt consistency
What Are the Benefits of Atelier.Gallery?
- Collector self-serve checkout via scan
- Faster status changes for sold works

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.
