Creating Your Organization

Your organization is your art business on Artbase Studio. It contains all your products, orders, customers, and settings. This guide walks you through creating and configuring your organization.

What is an Organization?​

An organization represents your art business. It includes:

  • Your public storefront
  • Product catalog
  • Order management
  • Customer database
  • Email subscriber list
  • Analytics and reporting
  • Team members (if applicable)
Multi-Business Support

You can create multiple organizations if you run different brands or businesses. Each organization has its own subscription and data.
