### We’re excited to share some big updates for May! 

We've been busy behind the scenes, and **this month's updates are some of our biggest yet.** Whether you're a solo artist looking to professionalize your online presence or a gallery owner managing multiple artists, these new features are designed to save you time and help you grow.


### Sales Tax Made Simple

Tax season doesn't have to be a headache. Our new [**Sales Tax feature** ](https://support.cohart.com/local-sales-tax)automatically calculates and collects the right taxes based on your buyer's zip code, keeping you compliant without the guesswork. No more spreadsheets, no more stress – just seamless transactions that handle the details for you.

### Gallery Tools That Actually Work 

Gallery owners, this one's for you. Our new **Gallery Tools** bring everything you need into one place:
- Manage your entire inventory from your phone
- Create professional invoices on the spot
- Use our built-in POS system at shows and events
- Collect buyer information automatically
- Showcase multiple artists beautifully

It's like having a full business management system designed specifically by people who understand the art world.

### Tell Your Story Better 

We've expanded the [**artwork description fields** ](https://support.cohart.com/uploading-guidelines)so you can share more of the story behind each piece. Your buyers want to connect with your work on a deeper level – now you have the space to tell them about your inspiration, technique, and creative process.

### Negotiate Like a Pro 

**DM negotiations** are now live. When someone makes an offer on your work, it goes straight to your Cohart inbox where you can negotiate back and forth until you both find the perfect price. No more losing deals in email chains or social media messages.
