Step-by-step Mintology quickstart guide 🛠️

1) Create an organization (5 minutes)

Open the organization selector (top-left).

Click Add Organization, name it, add a short description, then Create.

Switch to that org from the sidebar. Why this matters: each org keeps collections, billing, and teams isolated ✔️

2) Invite your team (3 minutes)

Go to Teams → Invite by email.

Assign roles: Admin, Developer, Member. Tip: keep two Admins so access isn’t lost 🔐

3) Build a collection (10–15 minutes)

1. Open Collections → Create Collection.
2. Add name, description, cover image, social links.
3. Pick chain and contract type: Shared contract to move fast, Dedicated if full control is needed.
4. Enable gasless mints, set royalties, and click Create. This is the heart of the Mintology quickstart guide. Collections group everything for a drop 🎨

4) Use Studio for generative art (optional)

Studio → Generate NFTs → Upload PNG layers.

Set rarities and preview.

Choose quantity and deploy. Great for multi-trait collections without coding!

5) Create custodial wallets

Wallets → Add Wallet → enter email, phone, or Twitter/X.

Choose chain (Ethereum/Solana) and Create. Why custodial wallets: let mainstream buyers receive NFTs via email instead of seed phrases. Use this for higher conversion. (Collectors can migrate to self custody later.)

6) Enable claims and sales pages

Claims: Collection → Claims → Enable gasless claim and set per-wallet limit. Copy the claim URL or QR.

Sales: Collection → Sales → Set price, recipient address, then publish the sales page. Share the URLs in your marketing campaign.

7) Design a storefront (10 minutes)

Storefronts → Create Storefront → pick subdomain and title.

Use a template or drag-and-drop editor.

Preview and Publish. A branded storefront makes the drop feel legit and trustable

8) Run a launch campaign (5–10 minutes)

Campaigns → Create Campaign → name, dates, rewards.

Set eligibility rules (e.g., holders-only).

Upload redemption codes or QR and publish. Use campaigns to reward early supporters and track redemptions 🎟️

9) Automate post-purchase flows

1. Automations → Create Automation → select trigger (Shopify, Eventbrite, Campaign).
2. Choose action like Mint or Update Token. Automations save manual work when scaling ⚙️

10) Test, monitor, iterate (ongoing)

• Run a closed pilot with 20–50 internal testers.
• Monitor claims, sales, and analytics.
• Fix UX friction and retry ✅
