For ARTISTS...

What are the two selling categories for the artists?

Answer- Please see below.
We have two (2) Selling Categories:

1.
Wholesale (artists selling Wholesale Prices Only)
2. Retail (artists selling Retail Prices Only)
Selling Categories...
Selling at Wholesale Prices...
Retailers ONLY.
This section is TOTALLY PRIVATE and all Retailers have to send to AHC some
required business documentation prior to be approved and have access to the
wholesale section as a Retailer member and to purchase from our wholesale
artists.

Once and artist is enrolled as a Wholesale Artist, the artist will have an
ID/Password to access this private section.

AHC will transfer you the order once received, at NO extra charge fee, its
included with your membership.

Our Complete Shopping Cart System includes two(2) Processor Methods to
process the orders:

1.
Processing a payment  by using PayPal and all major credit cards. This method
WILL charge the customer at the conclusion of checkout.

2. Place the order  without processing a payment transaction, and pay directly to the
artist.

PayPal requires a service fee for all transactions. This fee is not for AHC, and it
will be deducted automatically by PayPal. This charge will be deducted from the
item total price ONLY if the retailer use PayPal when placing an order.

If the retailer use the second payment option of placing the order without a
payment transaction, there won't be a service fee for the artist. The artist  
must contact the customer for payment arrangements.

We suggest to all artists, to specify in your Artist Profile "Payment Terms"
that you prefer to receive the order and process the payment yourself. (This
way, you don't have extra charges per transaction for each order processed)

AHC will encourage the Retailer to NOT pay the orders by using our
PayPal payment option, but sometimes it may happen. If this is the case,
all expenses will be covered.

We suggest that you specify in your Artist Profile "Payment Terms" that you
prefer to receive the order and process the payment yourself. (This way, you
don't have to pay the PayPal service fee for order processing).

Once the artist receive an order from a Retailer, the artist is responsible to
contact the customer and fulfill the order.

Our commitment with our Artists is very serious. Any other Wholesale
Information and "How the Shopping cart works for the artists" will be given
during the enrollment process.

AHC will transfer you the order once received, at NO extra charge fee, its
included with your membership.

The shipping costs for each item, MUST BE INCLUDED in the item total price. If
for any reason you have to add any other shipping charges, the artist must
notify the customer directly.

The Art Lovers, General Public, Retailers and any who enters to the AHC
website will be able to shop from the artists galleries that are in the Retail
