This article relates to certifying editions and Artist Proofs (APs) using the Verisart WooCommerce App. See also 'Configuring NFTs in WooCommerce' for help with NFT editions and 'How to Certify Editions on Verisart.com'.

Certify editions

  • In the ‘Certificates’ tab in your Verisart WooCommerce App, select the item you wish to certify and click ‘Edit’.

  • Under ‘Edition’, click 'Yes' in 'Is this work an edition'

  • 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.

Numbered multiple editions with fixed volume

  • For numbered multiple editions, choose ‘Multiple (auto-numbered)’ and specify both the edition volume and at which point numbering should start.

  • Displays 'Edition 1/2' and continues in sequence until the edition volume is reached.

Unnumbered multiple editions with fixed volume

  • For unnumbered multiple editions, choose ‘Multiple (unnumbered)’ and specify the edition volume

  • Displays 'Edition of 2'

Numbered editions with open edition

  • For numbered open editions, choose ‘Multiple (auto-numbered)’ and specify the edition number, but leave the edition volume blank

  • Displays '1 / Open Edition' and continues in sequence for all works sold

Time limited editions and changing open editions to fixed volume

  • For time-limited editions, we recommend you create an Open edition by leaving the edition volume blank and then set the final edition volume on Verisart.com.

  • To change any open editions to a fixed volume, you must access this link from the home page of the Verisart Shopify App in your store.

Unnumbered edition with open edition

  • Unnumbered edition with open edition

  • Displays 'AP 1'

Single AP with fixed edition volume

  • For a single numbered AP with fixed edition volume, specify AP number, edition volume and leave AP volume blank

  • Displays 'AP 1, Edition of 10'

Single AP with fixed edition and AP volume

Single AP with fixed AP volume and no edition volume

  • Displays 'AP 1/10'

📣 Please note: You can change Open Editions to fixed edition volume via the Verisart.com link from the Verisart WooCommerce app BUT this does not update any on-chain metadata and will be visible solely at the certificate level.

You cannot change fixed edition volume for NFTs or certificates created via WooCommerce.
