How does it work?
Before you mint:
Verisart creates a merchant minting wallet for you. This is the wallet used to create custom contracts and mint NFTs on your Shopify store.
The Verisart Shopify App uses lazy minting so NFTs are only minted after they have been purchased.
Merchants can choose whether to cover minting costs or have their customer pay. Merchants using Ethereum must have sufficient ETH in their wallet. Merchants using Polygon are not required to have MATIC.
Setting up products
Add NFT products to your Shopify store as you usually would
Create your own custom contract.
Configure the NFT information through the Verisart app.
Set the product live.
Selling NFTs
Customer buys your NFT.
Receives an email inviting them to claim their NFT.
Follows a link from the email to view the NFT on their personalized dashboard on your store.
Claim the NFT, which gets minted and transferred to their own wallet. They will continue to see their NFTs in the dashboard.

Add a verified creator
NFT minting requires a verified creator or brand linked to your account. This protects against fraud and builds trust.
Go to the Settings tab in the App.
Click "Manage Creators".
You'll be redirected to Verisart.com where you can become verified or add your creator.
If you're a business and represent creators, you can mint on behalf of multiple creators on our Business plan. You will need to get permission from creators through Verisart before creating NFTs on their behalf.
If you are a business creating NFTs for yourself or an individual creator, we recommend setting a default creator, this will automatically assign a creator to NFTs you add to your drops.

Reveal your secret phrase
Verisart generates a "minting wallet" for your store. The minting wallet is like your store's address on the blockchain.
To transfer funds out of the wallet or configure your wallet's account on OpenSea, you'll need to log in to your wallet with a secret phrase. We provide a secure way for you to reveal your secret phrase.
Make sure you keep your secret phrase somewhere safe and secure.
Set up drop
The Verisart App lets you easily transform your products into NFTs for sale.
If you want to sell existing NFTs you can also import NFTs into your store.
🚨 Please note: Drops are tied to your contracts.
You can only deploy one contract per Drop
Go to the 'NFTs' tab and click 'Create drop'
Give your drop a name and select a blockchain
The name is just to help you distinguish internally between different drops, it won't appear on your NFT.
Here's an overview of the blockchains you can choose:
Polygon | Verisart covers the gas fees for you |
Polgyon Mumbai Testnet | A test version of the Polygon Testnet |
Ethereum | Generally used for higher-value NFTs, you or your customer will need to pay for the minting costs |
Ethereum Goerli Testnet | A test version of the Ethereum Testnet |
Create Custom Contract
Before you set up your NFTs, you need to select or create a custom contract. You can also import a Manifold contract.
If you've already created contracts, you'll find them in the drop-down menu. If you want to create a new contract click 'Create new contract'.
What is a custom contract?
A custom contract is a smart contract for minting your NFTs. The contract provides clear provenance from you to your collector and groups your NFTs together.
How should I use the custom contract?
It's up to you! If you work with multiple creators you might want to create a contract for each creator. If you are an individual creator, you could create a contract for each NFT collection.
To create a contract you need a Contract Name and Token Symbol.
🚨 Once your contract is created these cannot be changed
| Description | Requirement |
Contract Name | This is the name of your contract that appears on Etherscan/ Polygonscan and marketplaces. | Maximum 21 characters |
Token Symbol | This is your token identifier metadata to help you identify your NFT in Etherscan/Polygonscan. | Maximum 6 characters |
Description | A short description to help you distinguish between different contracts - this does not appear on the blockchain |

Add products to your drop
Select the products you want to include in your drop. All these products will be minted on the same contract, you can think of them being part of the same collection.
When you select browse products, you'll be able to view the full list of all the products in your store.
These products should be added to your store as you would any other Shopify product.
If the product is just digital, make sure you don't check ‘This is a physical product’ on the Shopify product details form.
Select your royalties
Setting royalties enables you to earn a percentage on secondary sales. Whether you receive royalties will depend on which marketplace the NFT is resold on.
To create a new contract click 'Create new royalty split'
The Verisart Shopify app allows you to divide royalties between an unlimited number of recipients.
Give your royalty split a name
The name is designed to help you identify different splits within the app.
Add your recipients
You'll need to add a name, their wallet address and the % of secondary sales they will receive.
Your authorized creators automatically appear on the list of recipients but you can also add new recipients by clicking 'Add new'.
🚨 Please note that these royalty splitters work when purchases are made in native currencies such as ETH and MATIC and will not work with ERC 20 tokens like wrapped ETH.
Enhance your drop
Unlockable rewards
Drag and drop a file to include it as a unlockable reward with each of the NFTs in your drop.
Set unlockable rewards for individual NFTs by editing the product in the Verisart app.
Give buyers exclusive access to products
Please note: tokengating is only available on our Shopify app.
Set up a tokengate to allow customers who own NFTs from the drop to access exclusive products. See how to set up tokengates
Review NFT products
If the information on your product is incomplete, you'll see an error message at the top of the drop page. Scroll down to the product list and edit the product that need review.
Secondary sales on OpenSea
After your first NFT is minted, you should configure your royalties on OpenSea to receive royalties from secondary sales on that marketplace.
