Art Prints, Sold the Way They Are Chosen
Canvasora is an art and poster shop selling prints for the wall — nature, animal, fantasy and digital work, across painting, illustration, typography and drawing. Nobody chooses art the way they choose ordinary products: one buyer arrives knowing the room they are filling, another knows the medium they like, a third is following a particular artist. TeamExio built the storefront on Shopify so all three routes lead to the same catalogue, and so the prints are presented as pieces for a wall rather than items in a grid.
Nobody Shops for Art the Way They Shop for Products
A print shop cannot be organised like a normal catalogue. Buyers do not arrive with a product in mind — they arrive with a wall, a mood, or an artist they follow, and a single category tree serves only one of those. On top of that, a poster reduced to a flat thumbnail tells a customer almost nothing about how it will actually look framed and hung, which is the only question they are really asking.
One taxonomy cannot hold it
Subject, medium and artist are three separate ways of thinking about the same catalogue, and a single menu forces buyers down whichever one the shop happened to pick.
Flat thumbnails hide the product
A print shown as a cropped square gives no sense of scale, framing or how it reads on a wall — the deciding factors in every art purchase.
Artists disappear behind the catalogue
The people who make the work are the reason much of it sells, yet a conventional storefront reduces them to a line of attribution.
International buyers hesitate
Unclear pricing currency, delivery times and customs treatment stall the purchase at exactly the moment the customer is ready.
Three Routes In, One Considered Shop
TeamExio built Canvasora on Shopify so the catalogue can be entered by collection, by medium or by artist, with no route treated as secondary. Prints are shown in room settings and at proper scale rather than as isolated crops, artists get real presence instead of a credit line, and the practical questions — price in the buyer's own currency, delivery time, customs — are answered before they become objections.
Collection, category and artist as equals
Shop by subject (nature, animal, fantasy, digital), by medium (painting, illustration, typography, drawing) or by maker — three front doors into one catalogue.
Prints shown on walls, not in boxes
Room settings and lookbook-style layouts show scale and framing, so buyers can judge a piece the way they will actually live with it.
Artists given real presence
Artist pages and a community section put the makers in front of the work, turning attribution into a reason to buy.
Objections answered up front
Multi-currency pricing, plus delivery, satisfaction and customs assurances carried in the announcement bar and trust row, remove the friction from an international purchase.
Bringing an Art Shop to Shopify
From the homepage through collections, artist pages, product detail and checkout, every screen was built to sell prints as pieces for a wall. Room-set imagery, three parallel ways to browse, trending and handpicked edits, and clear delivery promises help customers find work they want and buy it with confidence, wherever they are.
A Print Shop That Sells the Wall
- Built a Shopify storefront that opens by collection, medium or artist without favouring one.
- Presented prints in room settings and at scale, so buyers can judge framing before they commit.
- Gave artists dedicated pages and a community section, turning makers into a reason to buy.
- Answered currency, delivery and customs questions up front to support international sales.
Canvasora lets someone arrive with a wall to fill, a medium they love, or an artist they follow, and reach the same catalogue by whichever route makes sense to them.
By organising the shop around how people actually choose art — and showing every print the way it will be lived with — TeamExio turned a large and varied catalogue into somewhere customers can browse for pleasure and still leave with something on the way to their wall.
