Open your shop

2 min read · Updated 2026-11-06

Opening a shop takes about two minutes and is free. Each work has a $1 certificate fee, taken from its first sale, and ChainChum keeps 5% when it sells.

1. Create your account

  1. Go to chainchum.app and press Join.
  2. Sign up with your email address (we send a verification code) or with Google.
  3. ChainChum then shows One quick thing: tick I confirm I am 18 or older and I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then press Continue. Both boxes start unticked on purpose. Tap Terms of Service or Privacy Policy to read them in a new tab.

If you are under 18 you are welcome to browse, but please do not create an account. Parents can sell their children's work under their own account.

Next, What brings you to ChainChum? Tick Sell my art or Open a family art shop (tick both if both are true, and any others that fit), then press Continue. You go straight to setting up your shop.

2. Set up your shop

The shop form opens by itself after sign-up. Later, find it under Me › Shop page and shipping, or press Sell (Studio on a computer) and choose what you want to sell.

  • I am: an artist, a parent or family seller, or a teacher (classes and lessons only). Family shops get a Family art section; see Family art and safety.
  • Shop name: how buyers will know you.
  • Shop address: your page will live at chainchum.app/a/<address>. Use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. Leave it empty and we suggest one from your shop name.
  • Tagline, About, Location and Website (optional): tell buyers who you are. A good story sells art.
  • Visitors see my shop in (optional): choose a theme for your shop page, or let visitors use their own.

Press Open shop. Your shop page is live straight away and appears in search once you publish your first work. ChainChum then takes you to the next step, setting up payouts.

Already teach classes on ChainChum? Your teacher page becomes your shop: same address, same Stripe account, so payouts are already done. Press Sell and choose My own art or Family art.

3. Add a shipping profile

Physical works (originals, editions and handmade goods) need a shipping profile. Under Me › Shop page and shipping, in Shipping profiles:

  1. Give the profile a name, such as Standard or Framed pieces.
  2. Set Handling days: how long you need before you post the piece.
  3. Set the Rate buyers pay, and optionally Free over an order amount.
  4. Press Add profile.

You can have several profiles and pick one per listing. ChainChum ships within the United States at launch.
