Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Zac, solo founder of Artwalls. I built this because I kept watching talented artist friends struggle with gallery commissions and invisible Instagram posts — while every café around them had blank walls. The insight is simple: cafés already have foot traffic, dwell time, and customers in a buying mood. Artists already have work sitting in their studios. The missing piece was a dead-simple way to connect them and handle the transaction. That's what Artwalls does. A customer sees a painting on a café wall, scans the QR label, and buys it in 60 seconds on their phone. The artist gets paid automatically. The café earns 15% without lifting a finger. We're launching in San Diego first — North Park, Hillcrest, Little Italy — and expanding city by city. If you're a local artist or run a café, brewery, boutique, or co-working space anywhere, I'd love to have you as a founding partner. Spots are open today at artwalls.space. Happy to answer anything — ask me about the QR checkout flow, the commission structure, how venue matching works, or why I think the café wall is the most underrated retail surface in any city. 🎨
