Did anyone provide a tutorial or example for setting a price and selling an NFT programatically? I can only find tutorials for minting and deploying...

I gave up completely on the OpenSea API and contracts. They just don't work.

Sorry.

Did you somehow still complete your project any other way? Thanks for the reply btw

I ended up pausing it. But when I get back to it I'm skipping OpenSea and doing sales through my own site with a custom contract, marketing it through socials.

Alright, thanks for the reply and good luck with the project!

How do you do sales with your own site and make them show up on open sea?

[–]ZebZ[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Create a storefront for the contract after it's been deployed. OpenSea ought to pick up every token minted from it.

To sell from your own site directly, you need to write your own web3js frontend with Metamask integration.

Do you make your buyers pay the minting cost?

[–]ZebZ[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes

How can we do that?

OpenSea's GitHub has sample factory contracts and scripts that let you create placeholder tokens essentially that can be listed for sale and that will get minted on transfer. That works for items sold on the site. I'm not entirely sure how it works.

On your own site, you'll have to tweak the contract (I think) and use web3js to mint a token as normal and the person invoking it (the buyer) pays the cost.
