Create a collection that is deployed as a smart contract on the Polygon chain performing the following steps:

Click on *Create Collection* from the side menu.

On the **Create a Collection** form, complete details as suggested below.

1. Set *"Is your collection already live?"* to **No**
2. Choose **Polygon** for *Network*
3. Give your collection a name in the *Collection Name* field
4. Give your collection a symbol in the *Collection Symbol* field that "groups" all the NFTs together (must be 12 characters or less).  This is similar to a stock symbol so using CAPITAL LETTERS is a good convention.
5. Describe your collection in the *Collection Description* field
6. Enter a website URL for your collection in the *Collection Website* field
7. Press the **Create** button

Enefits will create and deploy your collection onto the chain and navigate you to the Collection Details screen (which currently has no NFTs).  Now let's create an NFT under this collection!
