The Simplest Way to Sell Your NFTs

The challenge

Whether you are new to the web3 scene or are a seasoned expert, we've all experienced some level of friction when it comes to purchasing NFTs.

As a buyer, there are several steps involved to successfully mint or purchase an NFT. Typically it starts with owning a crypto wallet, ensuring you have the right cryptocurrency needed to make a purchase, connecting your wallet to the minting site, signing for the transaction, and paying gas fees in the most straightforward case. Unfortunately, the straightforward case isn’t always the most common case. With random surges in gas feeds due to high network activity, it isn’t uncommon to need to transfer additional funds into your wallet. This again incurs another set of steps such as using an exchange to transfer more funds into your wallet.

These steps assume that a user already has a crypto wallet however for many people, simply not having a crypto wallet in the first place is enough to prevent someone from purchasing your NFTs.

As a creator, developer, builder, or brand, this makes it important to consider ways you can simplify the buying experience for your prospective buyers. In this post, we'll be diving into how you can simplify the process of selling NFTs to increase your buyer conversion rates and sales volume using Paper.

Simplifying NFT checkouts

The end-user experience is becoming increasingly important in web3. In order to onboard more individuals into the NFT space and capture larger audiences, we need to offer users a purchasing experience as seamless as what already exists in e-commerce: payment using credit card.

Simplifying the buyer experience not only benefits the buyer through making it easy to purchase your NFTs, it also helps you as a seller in capturing a larger total customer base.

Credit card enabled checkouts play a huge part in making NFTs more accessible to the general public yet many NFT checkouts today do not yet offer this functionality.

How can I accept credit card payments for my NFTs?

To accept credit card payments when selling your NFTs, Paper allows you to create frictionless NFT checkout experiences that do not require users to have an existing crypto wallet or cryptocurrency.

All you need to do is bring your own smart contract or create one using Thirdweb then create your checkout experience in one of 3 ways using Paper:

Option 1: No-code dashboard

For those who are looking for a quick and easy way to set-up a credit card enabled NFT checkout with zero code needed, set up a free account with Paper and navigate to your dashboard. Within the dashboard you can create a new checkout in a matter of a few clicks. If you are looking for a no-code solution and a fully-managed checkout experience, this might be the best option for you.

Option 2: API checkout

If you are looking for a way to programmatically test and generate checkouts with more flexibility than the no-code option, this could be the option for you. The main benefit of this option over the no-code option is that developers can run additional tests on the checkout experience aside from just manual testing if that is desired. More details on how to use our API and set up a checkout can be found in our developer documentation linked here.

Option 3: API + React SDK

For those who would like to create a fully white-labelled checkout experience, developers can create a checkout using the API then use this in combination with Paper's React SDK. Our SDK allows developers to extensively customize the checkout process. To learn more about our SDK and how to use it, visit our developer documentation linked here.
