🚨 Tokengates can only work with Shopify Online Shop 2.0 themes.
If you are using a legacy theme then it will not be possible to use this feature.
Part 1: Create the tokengate
In the Verisart app, go to the 'Tokengates' tab
Hit the 'Create' button to set up a new tokengate
Set up your tokengate
Give your tokengate a name
Add a contract address
This determines which NFTs your customers need to hold to access your gated products
Select your gated products
Choose your blockchain
The blockchain must match the chain the smart contract was created on
Check which blockchain your contract was created on by searching for it on Etherscan or Polygonscan
Hit save!
Part 2: Setting up the theme
Once you've created your tokengate it's time to update the product template theme to allow your customers to connect their wallet and access the product.
Start by creating a new product template in your theme. This can be done using the Shopify Theme Editor.
In the Admin panel on the left, click Online Store and Theme. Then choose “Customize” for the current theme.
In the theme editor search function, select Products and choose Create Template.
Create the template based on the Default Product template.
Add the tokengating button
From the menu on the left, choose “Add block” in the Product information section and add the Verisart Token gate button (you can find it under apps).
Re-order the tokengate button in the section as you require.
You can edit the color of the button and tokengate pop up to make them fit better with your shop’s theme.
Click on the panel
Choose your desired colors
Hit save
Once you're happy with the template, click save.
Select the correct template on the tokengated product
From the products menu, go to the product you are tokengating.
On the product page, scroll down until you see the Online store panel on the right
Select the template for tokengated products
Click save
Your NFT holders will now be able to unlock exclusive access to your tokengated products.
Changing the default template
An alternative to creating a new template is to just modify the existing product template. This is more convenient if all products in your store are token gated as it saves having to change each product to use the new template.
🚨 Tokengates cannot be used with "Buy now" buttons on the product page owing to how the tokengates work with Shopify.
For tokengating to work, your customers will need to follow the Add to cart and checkout journey
