Commercial work brings bigger clients, licensing questions, and longer approval chains than portrait work. Arteliox gives brand and product photographers a professional front end for all of it, from the proposal a brand signs off on to the final, paid deliverables.
What it is and who it is for
Arteliox is a full studio CRM with private galleries built in. It fits brand, product, and commercial photographers who deal with scoped projects, usage and licensing terms, and clients who expect proposals, contracts, and invoicing to look as polished as the images.
How Arteliox handles commercial work
Send branded proposals with clear scope and pricing, sign contracts that cover licensing and usage, and bill with deposits and milestones. Everything the client agreed to is stored against the job, so scope changes and approvals never turn into a dispute over who said what.
Private galleries with download controls and watermarked previews let you share selects for approval before releasing the final, paid deliverables.

Why it matters
The paperwork is on the record. Proposals and contracts with e-sign capture scope, usage, and licensing, stored against the job so what was agreed is never in doubt.
Approve, then release. Share watermarked selects for sign-off, and pay-to-unlock delivery releases the final deliverables when the invoice is paid.
Your sales stay yours. Payments go to your own Stripe account and you are the merchant of record. Arteliox charges 0% on your sales; you pay only your monthly subscription. Security is enforced at the database level, detailed on the security page.
The honest take
If your clients are brands and your work is licensed, Arteliox gives you proposals, licensing-ready contracts, milestone billing, and controlled delivery on one record. Get the opening date, explore Photo Studio CRM, or see pricing.
Questions, answered
Can Arteliox handle licensing and usage terms?
Yes. Contracts capture usage and licensing terms and are stored against the job alongside the proposal the client signed, so what was agreed is always on the record.
Can I share watermarked selects for approval before final delivery?
Yes. Share watermarked previews for sign-off, then pay-to-unlock releases the final, full-resolution deliverables once the invoice is paid.
What does Arteliox charge on client payments?
0% on your sales. You are the merchant of record, money goes to your own Stripe account, and you pay only your monthly subscription.
