Sales

Track information about works you’ve sold.

Tracking sales is a critical piece of running a studio. Being able to understand which works are no longer available, your sale prices over time, and how much you’ve earned is essential to your career.

Valise lets you record detailed sale information that’s useful for understanding your business.

Fields

  • Buyer: the buyer of the work. This is optional, but we encourage you to gather this information from your gallery or seller if possible.
  • Seller: usually the consignee of your work, or possibly yourself if the sale is a personal sale from your collection.
  • Date: the date the sale was made.
  • Notes: any additional notes about the sale.
  • Line items: you can record prices for each artwork in the sale. If you don’t know the price, you can leave it blank.
  • Documents: you can upload any documents related to the sale, like receipts or invoices.

Tips & Tricks

  • From the sale index page, you can filter sales by date to get an overview of your sales for a specific period. For example, you can filter by “2024” to see all your sales made that year to help when calculating your earnings or taxes.
