This article relates to certifying editions and Artist Proofs (APs) using the Verisart Shopify App. See also 'Configuring NFTs in Shopify' for help with NFT editions and 'How to Certify Editions on Verisart.com'.
Certify editions
In the ‘Certificates’ tab in your Verisart Shopify App, select the item you wish to certify and click ‘Edit’.
Under ‘Edition Type’, you will see the following options available.
Multiple editions
Multiple editions on Shopify can be certified as:
Numbered edition with fixed volume
Unnumbered edition with fixed volume
Numbered edition with open edition
Unnumbered edition with open edition
Please ensure the quantity of the available product is not greater than the total edition volume set or you may run the risk of works sold that are not certified.
