Wescover supports both bespoke commissions and products. We also support customization of products. Buyers can purchase products directly with one-click check out, and they can send you an inquiry if they’re interested in creating something custom.

For commissions, we suggest adding your portfolio of past projects so our users can inquire about creating something similar. If a user is interested in a previously sold piece, you can use our chat feature to discuss creating a new commission.

Send images, attachments, and use our phone call feature, all from your inquiry inbox.
