Configure royalties and marketplace profiles for your NFT collections
When selling NFTs on secondary markets, you can configure royalties to receive a percentage of each sale and optimize your collection’s marketplace profile to attract buyers.
Sell Tokens
The minting guide showed you how to create NFTs. In this guide you will learn how to enable Crossmint’s Checkout so you can sell them to your customers using cryptocurrency or credit card.
How It Works
- You can set a price in crypto (ETH, MATIC, SOL or USDC).
- For imported and secondary collections, payouts arrive instantly. For managed collections, payouts arrive after a 24-hour withholding period.
- Your customers can pay with crypto or credit card.
- You pay credits for NFT gas, user pays only for the item.
Configure a Collection for Sale

Create an NFT collection and navigate to it in the console.
-
Upload NFT “templates” for all the NFTs you wish to list for sale. You can do so from the “NFTs” tab in the console, or by using the API.
-

Set Up a Checkout
Now that your collection accepts payments, the next step is to integrate one of Crossmint’s Checkout variants into your app or website, and start accepting sales.
There are two ways to integrate:
Hosted Checkout
Add a button to your site which opens a checkout in a pop-up or new tab.
Embedded Checkout
Insert a checkout inside your site for maximum control over the user experience.
Set Collection Royalties
With royalties, you can receive revenue when your NFTs are traded on secondary markets. Crossmint allows you to configure royalties for a collection via API and (soon) directly from the console. You just have to specify the % of royalties and where you want those funds to be sent.
Royalties are defined at the collection level, not at the NFT level. Updating the royalties of a collection will update all NFTs, including the ones which have already been minted.
This API follows royalty standards compatible with virtually all marketplaces. However, note that some marketplaces have determined to not honor royalties, so transactions occuring there may not generate additional revenue.
Available self-serve for ERC-721 collections in EVM chains. Please contact us for ERC-1155 or Solana support.

Marketplace Profile
Optimizing your collection’s profile on marketplaces like OpenSea, Rarible, and others can significantly impact your NFT sales and visibility.
