AArtners
What it is
AArtners is ASTRO’s distributed gallery path: artwork and maker goods can be discovered and purchased in context on a verified property’s guest surface. It is not a separate marketplace that ranks the whole network for sale.
Why it exists in the network
It turns verified stays into cultural touchpoints for guests and earned surfaces for owners and artists—while keeping economic rules explicit: guest purchases are not Travelcoin transactions.
How it works
Guest purchases of art or goods settle through the Direct Payment Rail (program orders), not the Travelcoin ledger. Where canon allows owner-to-artist commissions, the system may use Travelcoin escrow as a hosting-backed pledge—Travelcoin is not sold for cash and does not behave as a guest checkout currency. Cash commissions may be allowed where canon provides that path; rails are not mixed on a single checkout.
What unlocks it
Participation sits on verified property and member context as implemented in the Verification Ladder and guest-surface rules. Owners do not get open-ended page builders; trust gates apply before owner-authored guest commerce configuration.
