Custom Art Gallery Shift4Shop Theme
Buy-now works on paper, price-on-inquiry pieces and show pages
Inquire for price works fine for a large canvas with a five-figure tag; it also loses the visitor who would have bought a framed monotype at ten at night without talking to anyone. Most galleries sell both kinds of work and the website should let each one sell the way it sells best. Foxco builds a custom art gallery Shift4Shop theme with buy-now pages for works on paper, editions and smaller pieces, inquiry pages for major works, artist pages linking everything they've shown with you and a page for the current exhibition. It's $999 installed and configured on the gallery's existing Shift4Shop store and a move to another platform is available if that suits the program better.
The right sale for every size of work.

Art Gallery theme questions
Is this a gallery template?
No. The store is custom: designed around your program and built with your brand, artists, inventory and exhibition pages.
What's the turnaround?
7-10 days once we have your logo, images and inventory details. If an opening is coming up fast, rush work depends on our bandwidth.
Can some works show prices while others say inquire?
Yes. Each work is set as buy-now or inquiry, with inquiry forms routed to your staff. Private viewing rooms with password-protected previews would be a custom project.
Do we need to leave Shift4Shop for a better site?
No, a redesign handles buying and inquiring well. If you're adding memberships, ticketed events or consignor reporting, migrating gives you more tools and we scope that separately.
The ten o'clock monotype buyer was always out there; the old site just asked them to email and wait. The theme lets smaller work sell on the spot and keeps the conversation going for pieces that need one.
Two ways to buy
Each work is set up as buy-now or inquire. Buy-now pieces show the price, framing and shipping details, while inquiry pieces show everything except the price, with a form that goes straight to the right person. Sold works stay up with a red dot, so an artist's page still tells the full story of the show.
Artists and shows
Artist pages gather bios, statements and every available work, while exhibition pages hold dates, installation photos and the checklist. Past shows stay on the site as an archive collectors can browse. Foxco, a Phoenix microagency, builds it with a small senior team, which matters when a gallery's website has to look as considered as its walls.
Stay on Shift4Shop or move
A gallery selling works and taking inquiries fits Shift4Shop well; a redesign is the quicker path. Ticketed events, member programs with recurring dues or a large consignment inventory with artist reporting are reasons to consider moving to WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Shopify. Migrations bring over works, collectors, sales history and URLs with redirects and they're scoped separately.
