TribeNest
Built for Visual Artists & Photographers

Take the commission.Then let the whole dealrun itself.

TribeNest is the operating system for your studio. Your domain, your collector list, your money through your own Stripe or Paystack. The intake form, the e-signed contract, the deposit invoice, the milestones and the delivery are wired together, so one inquiry runs to a paid, delivered piece without you living in your DMs.

§ 01, ONE COMMISSION, END TO END

One inquiry. The whole commission runs itself.

This is a single commission on TribeNest, start to finish. You set the flow up once. The intake, the qualify branch, the contract, the deposit, the milestones, the final invoice and the delivery below all fire on their own, on a domain you own, with nobody taking a cut.

§ 02, MIRA PROPOSES

Mira watches the pipeline and proposes the flows you have not built.

Mira is the analyst inside the system. She reads the commission queue, print sales and collector growth overnight, then drafts the next move. She proposes. You approve. Nothing runs without you.

Mira drafts the flow. You approve it. Only then does it run.

Mira proposes. You approve. Nothing runs without you.

§ 03, WHAT RAN THE COMMISSION

Twelve modules. One system.

That commission did not touch twelve apps. It touched one platform where every module already talks to every other. Here is the crew that ran the deal while you painted.

01

Business email

studio@yourname.com on your own domain, not a free Gmail. Every collector reply in one inbox.

02

Portfolio CMS

A high-res gallery as a CMS collection, organized by series, medium and year. Update once, live everywhere.

03

Print store

Posters, canvases and framed prints via Printful print-on-demand. No inventory, 0% commission checkout.

04

Originals & editions

Sell originals with edition tracking for limited runs and a certificate of authenticity as a digital download.

05

Contracts & e-sign

Commission agreements signed online. The signed PDF attaches to the collector's record automatically.

06

Invoicing

Deposit invoices, milestone installments and final balances, all paid through your own Stripe or Paystack.

07

Commission pipeline

Every inquiry becomes a card you move stage by stage, from intake to signed to delivered.

08

SMS & WhatsApp

Drop alerts and commission updates straight to the phones of collectors who opted in.

09

Collector memberships

Tiered subscriptions for collectors: the studio newsletter, first dibs on originals, member-only editions.

10

Reviews

Auto-collect reviews from print buyers and commission clients, then show them beside the work.

11

Studio livestream

Stream painting and editing sessions to your own site, members-only or public, with replays.

12

Collector referrals

Turn collectors into ambassadors with their own tracked links and automatic credit on a referred sale.

Every module on, from day one. Nobody takes a cut.

§ 04, ONE COLLECTOR, ONE RECORD

Every module wrote to the same collector record.

The commission did not scatter Elena across five apps. Every inquiry, invoice and purchase wrote to one record you own.

One collector. One record. When you leave, Elena comes with you.

§ 06, QUESTIONS

Common questions.

What independent visual artists want to know before moving their direct sales and commissions onto TribeNest.

What does TribeNest cost?

Starter is $49/month, Pro $149 and Business $499, with two months free if you pay yearly. Every module is on from the first plan, at 0% commission; you upgrade for leverage (unlimited automation flows, more streaming hours, more email sends), never to unlock the basics. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial at Pro level.

How does the commission workflow handle deposits and contracts?

The intake form collects the brief and reference images. You send a deposit invoice (typically 50%) and an e-signed contract from the same system, then the project moves through milestones: sketch approval, midpoint, final delivery by secure download. Each milestone can require a payment installment, and everything stays attached to the collector's record. Reminders fire on their own if an invoice slips.

How much of a commission is really automatic?

As much as you want. The intake auto-reply, the qualify branch, the deposit invoice on signature, the milestone approval requests, the final invoice and the delivery with certificate all run as automation flows you set up once. Starter runs 3 active flows, Pro and Business run unlimited. You draw the flow once; it runs on every commission after that.

Should I take my prints off Society6 or Etsy entirely?

Most artists do not, at least not at first. Keep the marketplaces for discovery, and sell direct on TribeNest for a far higher net per print and a collector relationship you own. Many artists eventually shift everything direct once their list grows. Both can coexist; the difference is that the direct side belongs to you.

Can I use Printful for international print fulfillment?

Yes. Printful has fulfillment centers in the US, EU, UK, Mexico, Japan and Australia, and orders route to the closest one automatically. Shipping costs and times reflect the destination, and the customer pays shipping at checkout.

What about original artwork shipping logistics?

For originals, you handle packaging and shipping yourself or through a logistics partner. The store collects the buyer's address, generates a packing slip and tracks the order to delivery. Shipping can be calculated, flat-rate or charged separately.

What does Mira actually do for a visual artist?

Mira reads print sales, the commission queue, collector membership growth, livestream attendance and edition stock, and gives you one daily briefing. She flags inventory drift, drafts thank-you sequences after a signup spike, suggests when to open a second edition and nudges stalled commissions. Each briefing, question or analysis uses a few AI credits, and every plan includes a monthly allowance.

Will Mira accept commissions or change my prices without me?

No. Mira proposes. You approve. Nothing runs without you. Every action, accepting a commission, changing a print price, opening a second edition, requires your explicit approval. She drafts, you decide.

§ 07, GET STARTED

Take the commission.
Let the deal run itself.

Build the portfolio, print store and commission workflow you should have owned years ago, then wire them together so one inquiry runs to a paid, delivered piece on its own. From $49 a month, 0% commission, every sale yours.
