What to check before you pay for a piece of original art as a present, why it is usually better delivered to you, and how to pass its certificate and record on to the person you give it to.
-
Was this made by a person? What you can and cannot check before buying art online
Looking closely will not tell you whether a picture was made with AI, and neither will a detector app. What you can actually check before you buy, and what the answers mean.

Adding your first piece
What the Upload Wizard asks for, why the main image matters more than the rest, and what happens once a piece is registered.
-
Private, Showcase, marketplace: who can see your work
Everything starts private. The three levels of visibility, what each one changes, and what stays hidden even when a piece is public.
-
Switching on artist tools, and what they give you
No application and no wait. What artist tools unlock, what stays free, and what Artist Pro adds on top.
-

What the application asks for, how review works, how jobs and payment run, and what the role does and does not let you do.
-
Plans, and what happens when your founding year ends
What free covers, what Pro adds, and what happens at the end of a founding year. Nothing is taken away without being asked first.
-
AI valuations: what they are for, and what they are not
An indicative estimate with a confidence level. When it unlocks, and when you need a real appraisal instead.
-
Love, follow and share: the quiet signals
What loving a piece does, what following an artist does, and why counts stay hidden until they mean something.
-
Closing your account, and what survives it
How to delete your account yourself, what is erased, what is kept, and why a record that others rely on outlives the account that made it.
-
Your gallery, your brand and the watermark
Setting up a public gallery, what the watermark protects, and choosing the name people see.

Every fee in one place, and how money actually reaches your bank.

Commissions: how a piece made to order works
Milestone escrow, work-in-progress evidence, and how a commissioned work gets its certificate.

Choosing a verifier, what it costs, the 72-hour accept, the 48-hour review window, and what each outcome means.
-
Buying on Veriroo, and what happens after you pay
Escrow, confirming receipt, when ownership actually moves, buying a print as a guest, and when you can add a certificate.
-
Certificates of authenticity: who can issue one, and when
The four routes to a certificate, what a piece needs first, why open prints never get one, and what a seal adds.
-

How to move a piece to its new owner after an off-platform sale, why it is free, and the one decision that locks permanently.
-
How Veriroo Editions work
Numbered, signed, certificated editions with a run that cannot be quietly extended. How an enforced count differs from a promised one.
-
Why Veriroo exists
Art has always had a paperwork problem: the certificate and the painting travel separately, and only one of them is hard to fake.
-
Your own print shop, and what Verity will and will not do
A lab near your buyer prints and posts every order. How the shop works, on the web and in the app, and exactly where the automation stops.

Delisting everything before a holiday costs you a week of browsing. The three away settings, and why the middle one is usually right.
