A 1/1 buy-now is a direct sale where a single, unique artwork (1/1) is available for purchase at a set price. Unlike collections with multiple artworks, this feature focuses on selling individual 1/1 pieces. When using Stacks for a 1/1 buy-now on Shape, remember that only one Stack can run at a time per contract. You must wait for the current piece to sell before listing another.
Note: You must wait for your current 1/1 to sell before listing another 1/1 on the same contract. Once the sale is completed, you can repeat the steps to launch your next 1/1 piece.
Here’s How to Get Started:
Before deploying your contract make sure to bridge some ETH to Shape.
Use an official Shape bridge.
Connect your wallet and ensure you're on the Ethereum network.
Specify the amount of ETH you want to bridge.
Confirm the transaction and wait for it to be processed.
Deploy an ERC-721 Contract: Start by deploying your ERC-721 contract on Shape. This contract will serve as the foundation for your 1/1 buy-now sale.
2. Create Your Draft Token: Create a draft token for your 1/1 artwork.
IMPORTANT: Do not mint the token at this stage. Stacks utilizes lazy minting, allowing the collector to mint the token upon purchase, saving gas fees.
3. Create Your Stack: To set up your mint page, select “Create Stack” from your contract dashboard.
Choose the 1/1 artwork that you want to feature. Remember, only one 1/1 can be listed at a time per contract. Tip: You can create multiple draft tokens, but only one can be listed for sale at a time.
4. Name Your Stack and Set the URL: Name your Stack to represent the specific 1/1 artwork. The URL slug will automatically generate based on the Stack's name, but please feel free to edit this if necessary.
5. Add Your Payout Address: Enter the wallet address where the primary sales revenue will be directed. This address will receive payments for the sale of your 1/1 artwork.
6. Set the Start Date and Time: Choose the date and time when the sale will go live. You can schedule the sale to go live immediately or later.
7. Configure Your Buy-Now Sale: Set the buy-now price for your 1/1 artwork. This is the amount the collector will pay to purchase the piece.
Maximum Mint Allowance: Since this is a 1/1, set the maximum mint allowance to 1.
8. Configure Your Mint Page:
Add a description of your artwork to give collectors context and insight into the piece.
Upload a thumbnail image that will represent your artwork on the mint page.
Include any additional informational sections, such as artist bios or project details.
Add custom FAQs to address collectors' questions about your 1/1 sale.
Provide links to your social media accounts, such as X (Twitter), Warpcast, or your website, so collectors can engage with your socials.
9. Preview Your Mint Page: Please review your mint page to ensure everything looks perfect.
If you need to make changes, click "Continue Editing" at the bottom right to return and make the adjustments.
When satisfied, click “Launch Stack” to make your 1/1 sale live!
10. Approve the Stacks Contract: To finalize your launch, approve the Stacks contract, send the transaction, and sign it with your wallet.
