Where to Mint Your own NFT or List Your NFTs?
This guide will walk you step-by-step how to create an online Store as well as NFT can be built using one of the platforms listed below:
There are three things you'll need to have in order to launch your own shop and start buying and selling NFTs via OpenSea Let's get going!
1. Digital Currency (ETH):
You can buy ETH which is the digital currency used to fuel transaction on the Ethereum blockchain, by contacting an online currency exchange such as Coinbase. You'll need ETH in order to "mint" an NFT, buy an NFT and pay the gas costs to make transactions. Now that you've got the ETH, let's make an account.
A cryptocurrency wallet, like Metamask is a wallet that stores your ETH, and also processes transactions through the blockchain. The wallet's unique address is created, and you'll be able to use that address to make transactions.
The transactions that are linked to your wallet account can be viewed on etherscan.io and it is advisable to verify every transaction. After you've installed an account on your wallet it is possible to connect your wallet's account to OpenSea.

When you build your store you're creating an intelligent contract on the blockchain, where it can remain forever. The store will have their own unique address, which only your store can have. (this can be the way you verify that your products are genuine and originate directly from you).
Category The category is the one of products you're selling. This is how buyers can browse through shops to find what they are looking for. If you're selling art then it's artwork. If it is music, it would comprise media file.
Title: The title is the name that you will use to describe your shop. The title is the name for your smart contract. It will be visible everywhere. Make sure the description of your smart contract is appealing to the public!
Subtitle: It is the name of your store's subtitle. It is possible to add additional information on your store. It will serve as the symbol for the smart contract you have created (but it doesn't have to be the symbol).
Tags: They tell customers the purpose of your store. Tags are useful for searching for stores and items. Up to eight tags can be added.
