What you get on day one
Multi-image listings. Auctions, store products, and patron pages each carry up to 12 photos. Front, detail, hanging shot, signature/back. Donors swipe through the full set on mobile, expand to full-screen on desktop.
Auction-house metadata. Every auction lot gets medium, dimensions, year created, low/high estimate, provenance. The estimate range displays alongside the current bid so collectors know whether the piece is below, at, or above the high.
Tiered event tickets. GA, Patron, Sponsor, Table-of-10, plus private member-preview tiers that only show to patrons. Each tier has its own price, capacity, and seat count.
Numbered editions. "Edition of 25, this is #7" prints right on the receipt. The store auto-assigns the next sequential number on each order; once the edition closes the listing flips to soldout.
Donor tier auto-recognition. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Trustee with thresholds you set. Lifetime giving rolls up across donations + auction wins + ticket sales + store orders. Tiers auto-update on each completed donation.
Multi-tier recurring memberships. Bronze $25/mo, Silver $100/mo, Gold $500/mo. Each tier maps to a Stripe price. Patrons swap tiers from the customer portal without help-desk tickets.
Segmented email blasts. Send to "Gold-and-above only" for member previews, or "lapsed donors >180 days" for win-back. The recipient query takes tier IDs, lifetime bounds, lapsed-since days, and tags.
Commission split. 50/50 consignment by default; configurable per piece. The Stripe charge splits across the gallery's and the artist's connected accounts at the moment of sale, so reconciliation is automatic.
Workflow: a single benefit gala, end to end
Create the event. Add tiers: GA $50, Patron $250, Sponsor $1,000, Table-of-10 $2,500. Mark the patron preview tier as private until launch.
List the auction lots. Each lot carries 4-8 photos, medium, dimensions, year, low/high estimate, and provenance. Reserve and buy-now optional.
Open the patron preview to your Gold-and-above list (segmented email send). Run a 7-day soft-launch where Gold patrons can buy before GA opens.
Open the gala to the public. Live leaderboard at the venue. Donors scan QR cards on every wall placard to bid or buy directly from their phones.
Auctions close. Winners get auto-emails. The Stripe charges process; consignment splits go to the artists' Stripe accounts; the gallery's net lands in its bank.
Post-event: thank-you email to every guest (auto-segmented by tier). Patron tier auto-updates if the gala bumped someone over a threshold. Recurring membership tier swap offered in the receipt.
