Everything in one server
ArtFlow runs in a single Discord server instead of a bot every community installs. Nobody has to set anything up, every artist and their reviews are in one place, and one team of moderators handles disputes.
Art commissions on Discord, for Filipino artists and their clients
Commission art without the back-and-forth.
Join one Discord server and you are ready. ArtFlow walks every commission through the same recorded steps, from brief and quote to payment, progress and delivery, so you always know what happens next and nothing gets lost in DMs.
Nothing to install. Your Discord account is all you need.

About
One server, one record, no chasing
A commission arranged in DMs has no shared record: the price, the terms and the receipt end up scattered across chats. ArtFlow puts every commission in one place and keeps the record for both sides. These are the decisions behind it.
A fixed order of steps
Every commission moves through the same steps in the same order. It can only move to a step the rules allow, so a price, the terms or a payment can never be skipped.
It never touches the money
Clients pay artists directly by GCash or PayPal. ArtFlow records the receipt and the artist's confirmation, nothing more.
Timers do the chasing
Clients get 24 hours to pay once they accept the terms, with a reminder first. A request left at one step for 72 hours before payment is cancelled, and a delivery is accepted after 48 hours.
The bot is only the front desk
The Discord bot is what you talk to. A separate service keeps the record and enforces the rules, so a bot restart never loses where a commission is.
Features
Everything a commission needs, nothing it doesn't
Private ticket channels
Every commission gets its own channel, visible to the client, the artist and moderators.
Payments on the record
Clients pay artists directly by GCash or PayPal. ArtFlow records the receipt and the confirmation.
Reminders and deadlines
Unpaid and abandoned requests are cancelled on a timer, with a reminder first, so an artist's slots are never held for nothing.
Disputes
/dispute freezes a commission until a moderator rules: cancel it, or mark it completed.
Fair limits
Each artist has a limit on active commissions, and a client can have up to three unpaid requests open at a time.
Reviews
Clients rate completed commissions from 1 to 5 stars. Reviews are posted to #reviews and an artist's rating is the average.
18+ gating
NSFW commissions need a verified 18+ client and an artist who has opted in.
One-button verification
New members accept the server terms with one button and get the Verified User role.
Moderator overview
/admin stats, artists and commissions show moderators what is happening across the server.

How ArtFlow compares
The usual ways commissions are run today, and what each is like to use.
| ArtFlow | DMs and a spreadsheet | Forms and a ticket bot | Commission websites | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where it happens | One Discord server, in the app you already use | Spread across DMs and a sheet someone keeps updated | A form first, then a ticket channel | A separate website and account |
| Getting started | Join the server and press one button | Nothing to set up, and nothing to keep track for you | Someone has to build and maintain the form and bot | Sign up, set up a profile, learn a new site |
| Price and terms | Recorded at each step, the same for both sides | Buried in chat history | The form is saved; what follows in chat is not | Kept on the site |
| Payment | Straight to the artist by GCash or PayPal, receipt recorded | Straight to the artist, nothing recorded | Straight to the artist, usually nothing recorded | Often handled through the site, on its terms |
| Follow-ups | Automatic reminders and deadlines | You chase people yourself | You chase people yourself | Depends on the site |
| When something goes wrong | A moderator rules inside the ticket | Your word against theirs | Up to whoever runs the server | The site's support team |
Questions
Before you join
Do I need to install anything?
No. ArtFlow runs in the ArtFlow Discord server. Join it with your Discord account, accept the server terms, and you can commission an artist straight away.
Does ArtFlow handle money?
No. The client pays the artist directly by GCash or PayPal and uploads the receipt. The artist confirms it arrived. ArtFlow keeps the record of both.
What happens if a client doesn't pay?
The client has 24 hours after accepting the terms, with a reminder in the last 12. If no receipt is uploaded by then, the commission is cancelled and the artist's slot is freed. A receipt the artist has not confirmed is handled as a dispute, never cancelled automatically.
How is NSFW work handled?
Accounts at least 90 days old are approved as 18+ on request; newer ones go to the moderators. NSFW commissions need an 18+ client and an artist who has opted in.
