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!

Step 2. Create an NFT

Create an NFT that exists on the Polygon chain under the collection you just created using the steps below. You should be on the Collection Details screen for this collection as a starting point for this section of steps.

Press Create/Mint NFT to open the NFT creation form.

In the Create NFT box that displays, complete the form using the instructions below:

  1. Give your NFT a name in the NFT Name field (if no name provided, the collection name will be used by default for the NFT)
  2. Provide a description of the NFT in the NFT Description field
  3. Enter a URL for the NFT in the External Link field(which may provide more information about the specific NFT in the collection)
  4. Press on the NFT Image/Artwork Upload field which will open a file selection box. Choose an image that will be the NFT creative.
  5. Leave the "Clones" field to 1 and press Create/Mint NFT.

Enefits will upload the creative, generate/upload the metadata for the NFT, and then mint this onto the Polygon chain under the collection you created in Step 1.

When the mint is complete, the NFT will display as an asset on the Collection Details screen.

What happens next?

Once you create an NFT, you can do several things like:

  • Sell the NFT on OpenSea or another marketplace
  • Send the NFT to someone by e-mail or by providing their wallet address
  • Create an offer that only those with the NFT have access to
  • Airdrop the NFT to holders of NFTs in another collection
