Stockist Onboarding Guide

For Art Boss Art & Ink Boss Art

Welcome

We collaborate with retailers, galleries, and interior designers who share our passion for art with heart, New Zealand made works that elevate spaces and celebrate creativity, place, and story.

Whether you’re joining Art Boss Art (ABA) for bespoke artworks and curated interiors, or stocking Ink Boss Art for contemporary prints and stationery, this guide outlines everything you need to know to get started as a valued partner.

Minimum Orders

To maintain consistency and ensure a strong retail or trade start:

• Art Boss Art (ABA) Minimum opening order $500 NZD
• Ink Boss Art Minimum opening order $500 NZD for outright purchases
  (Consignment partnerships may differ by agreement.)

Our online ordering portal is launching soon to make the process even simpler.

Wholesale & Trade Partnerships

We love helping new partners launch confidently.
When you place your first wholesale order, we’ll add an extra one-third of product free of charge and defer that portion’s invoice for six months — helping you open with confidence and full shelves.

We work with both retail stores and design professionals purchasing on behalf of clients. Whether you’re curating for a showroom, sourcing for a commercial project, or stocking for retail, our wholesale structure keeps the process simple and rewarding.

If your store or studio regularly orders over $1,000 per month, we can discuss volume pricing or enhanced commission structures.

Consignment Partnerships

Prefer a lower-risk start? We offer sale-or-return consignment at a 40 / 60 split (40% to you, 60% to us).
We ask for a monthly update on sales so we can restock your bestsellers and maintain fresh displays.
