Create a Single-Image NFT Collection

Before You Start

To start selling NFTs in your store through Shopify payments, make sure you're eligible by applying for approval. This process only takes a few minutes and can be initiated easily right in the Single app.

Step 1: Setup Your Collection

This step is where you get to create the metadata for your NFT collection. Single will use the metadata to create a product in Shopify for your collection, making it easy for you to sell NFTs in your store just like any other product.

• Log in to your Single account
• From the left sidebar, select NFTs > Create NFT > Single-Image Collection
• Include these details when setting up your collection:
  
  • Art: Upload a JPG, PNG, TIFF, or GIF file with a maximum size of 200MB
    • Single strongly recommends keeping file size <5 mb
  • Title: Choose a descriptive name that will identify your collection in Single and a corresponding product in Shopify.
    • Max characters depends on total mint quantity but always <29
  • Creator: This name won't be visible in Shopify but will be saved in the permanent NFT metadata.
  • Description: Use this space to describe your collection in detail. Note that this cannot be edited after publishing.
    • Max characters 255
  • External URL: This link won't be visible in Shopify but will be saved in the permanent NFT metadata. Use it to redirect buyers to your store and increase traffic.

Step 2: Set Pricing & Availability

Next, it's time to set up your NFT's price and availability.

• Enter the Price.
• Choose between Total or Unlimited Supply to determine your collection size.
• Enable sequential ordering for assigned edition numbers in order, or disable for random assignment at minting.
• Enter in a Release Date & Release Time (Eastern Time).
• Select Save and Continue.

Step 3: Connect Wallet

Link your wallet(s) to receive funds from secondary sales, allocating shares for each wallet. Note that Single charges a 5% service fee so your default percentage is 95%.

• Click Connect Wallet on the Wallets page to set up or link a digital wallet.
• Set your royalty percentage in the royalties section after connecting your wallet.
•  Click Save.

Step 4: Gate Access

Here, you can gate access to pages, products, and video with your NFT Collection.

• Navigate to Gated Access Settings on the Utility page.
• Click + Select Content and search for content (product, page, or video) you want to gate access to with your NFT Collection.
  • Note: Video must be uploaded directly uploaded in Single to be gated, unlike products and pages which can be created first in Shopify. 

• Add the content and set its Claim Limit, Discounts Allowed, and Visibility toggles for gated content to your preferences. 
• Click Save All.

Step 5: Set Your Transfer Successful Message

Customize the message customers see upon purchasing and transferring NFTs to their wallet.

• Message: Use this space to energize fans and point them back to your store.
• Button Label: Choose a call-to-action, such as "Get exclusive merchandise" or "Claim your NFT now."
• Button Link: We recommend linking to your gated content page in this section, but feel free to choose any relevant link that fits your NFT collection.

When you're done, click  Save > Create Bundles.

Step 6: Create NFT Bundle

This is an optional step. If you wish to create an NFT bundle, you can do so as long as there are NFTs available in your collection.
