Edition
A Shopify app for limited-edition print & art sellers
Every print numbered. Every sale certified. Automatically.
EditionDesk auto-assigns the edition number to every Shopify order and emails each buyer a signed-look Certificate of Authenticity — so you ditch the spreadsheet, look like a real gallery, and never oversell an edition.
Founding rate locked for life · regular $29/mo · first 50 studios
We're building it now — charged today, fully refundable before launch.

- Certificate of AuthenticityA branded, signed-look COA, emailed to the buyer.
- Never oversellA buyer → number ledger so a number never ships twice.
The way it works right now
Your editions live in a spreadsheet and your gut.
No. 1 — by hand
You pencil the numbers in.
A notebook and a good memory — until print #088 ships to two people.
No. 2 — the Canva COA
Your certificate is a Canva file.
Re-typed per order, exported flat. Looks like a discount coupon, not a keepsake.
No. 3 — the quiet fear
You're terrified of overselling.
One run split across Shopify, a gallery, a stall — so you stop at 230 of 250 and leave money behind.
What EditionDesk does
Three jobs. Done the second the order is paid.
01
Auto-number — sequential, per edition.
The moment an order is paid it gets the next number — 14/250, then 15/250, in the order money came in. No spreadsheet.
02
Certify — a branded Certificate of Authenticity.
Your logo, type, and signature on a clean COA PDF — emailed to each buyer automatically. The artifact up top is the real output.
03
The ledger — immutable, buyer → number.
Every number is written once and locked. A 251st Shopify sale on a 250 run is blocked before it confirms. Export the trail any time.

The simple alternative to Verisart
You sell $40 prints, not blue-chip canvases.
EditionDesk vs. Verisart
Pricing
One flat monthly fee. Unlimited certificates, whether you sell 5 prints or 500.
Tiers plus per-certificate costs that punish cheap, high-volume editions.
The technology
A plain PDF + a private ledger your buyer instantly understands.
Blockchain / NFT certificates your $40 print buyer never asked for.
Fulfilment
Works with any fulfilment — you, a local lab, or print-on-demand.
creativehub only certifies if you also print through them.
Setup
Minutes. Connect Shopify, design the COA once, sell.
To be fair: Verisart is a real product — great if you sell $5,000 originals and want on-chain provenance.
EditionDesk is the other tool: for editions of 25–500 at $30–$300 that just need the number and the COA right, every time — no per-certificate tax.
Day one
Set it up once. Then forget it's there.
01
Connect Shopify
Install the app and tag your limited-edition products. The rest of your store is untouched.
02
Design the certificate
Upload your logo, pick type and paper colour, set each edition's size. Add a signature image.
03
Sell as normal
Every paid order gets its number, its COA, and a locked ledger entry — automatically. You just ship the print.

Before you ask
Questions, answered.
Is EditionDesk available yet?
Not quite — EditionDesk is in pre-launch. You can reserve a founding studio now at $19/mo, locked for life, and you're charged today but fully refundable any time before launch. We'll number your first editions by hand, free, until it ships.
How does edition numbering work?
The moment a Shopify order is paid, EditionDesk assigns it the next sequential edition number — 14/250, then 15/250 — in the order payments arrive. No spreadsheet and no manual numbering.
Does the Certificate of Authenticity work with Shopify?
Yes. EditionDesk installs as a Shopify app. Tag your limited-edition products, design your COA once, and every paid order automatically emails the buyer a branded Certificate of Authenticity PDF.
How is EditionDesk different from Verisart?
Verisart leans on blockchain certificates and per-sale fees built for blue-chip originals. EditionDesk is one flat monthly fee with unlimited certificates and a plain PDF plus a private ledger — made for editions of 25–500 prints priced $30–$300.
Do I need blockchain or NFTs?
No. EditionDesk uses a plain Certificate of Authenticity PDF and a private buyer-to-number ledger your customers instantly understand. No crypto, no wallets, no blockchain — ever.
What does EditionDesk cost?
Founding studios lock $19/month for life (regular price $29). That includes unlimited certificates, automatic edition numbering, and the immutable ledger — with no per-certificate fees, whether you sell 5 prints or 500.
