Step-by-Step Guide for NFT Minting on Shopify

Sell NFTs on your Shopify store with Just-in-Time minting: To create and sell NFTs, you need a platform, a marketplace to list them, and a wallet for users to trade and manage them. The miniOrange application gives you a complete Shopify NFT integration so you can sell NFT on Shopify, create new revenue streams, and grow your business. You can list an unlimited number of NFTs; when a customer purchases, the NFT is minted on the chosen blockchain and ownership is transferred. Minting is Just In Time (JIT)—the NFT is sold off-chain on Shopify and only minted on purchase, so you avoid paying gas fees until after the sale.

Follow the steps below for detailed instructions on how to sell NFT on Shopify.

Pre-requisite: MetaMask wallet for deploying smart contracts

You need a wallet to deploy smart contracts. Create and set up a MetaMask wallet using the steps below. Ensure you have enough ETH to pay gas fees for deploying the smart contract.

Step 1: Install MetaMask on your browser

• Install the MetaMask extension before creating a wallet. You can find it for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. The steps below use Chrome; they apply to other browsers as well.

Step 2: Create a MetaMask account

• Enter a password and click Create.

• Click Next, then Reveal Secret Words. Write down the 12-word seed phrase and store it safely (avoid storing it digitally).
• Verify your secret phrase by selecting the words in order. Click Confirm.

Your MetaMask account is now created and a new Ethereum wallet address is ready. Ensure you have enough ETH to pay gas fees for deploying the smart contract.
