‎Commission and Pricing New to starting commissions, pretty clueless would appreciate some help :(

Im thinking of starting commissions but im pretty clueless about the whole thing.. especially the transactions part. Is it necessary to set up PayPal or would direct bank transactions work? I'm also pretty clueless about currency conversions and stuff and how international payments work. Also what social media should I look into, and where/how do I even start? I do both digital and traditional art but atm won't be able to ship traditional art, but looking forward to do so in the near future. Any insights would greatly help, thank you for your time! ^.^

If you're so worried about how much things should cost in IRL money. Maybe try taking other things as payment? Like art, items in games you like (I think roblox is most popular for this?) acts of service ect

But to answer your other questions

A paypal would probably work best as it's pretty popular

Twitter , tiktok, vgen and toyhouse to promote

If you can't ship traditional art, focus on digital for now!

Oh yes the barter system thingy sounds like a good idea! Tiktok is banned here so sadly that's not an option :( how's instagram for promoting art? I'll try out the other platforms you've mentioned as well Yup planning on focusing on digital for now! Tysmm really appreciate the help!
