In this tutorial we will be learning how to purchase an NFT that is showcased in Bit.Shes Gallery.

For those brand new to the world of NFTs, you will need to own some cryptocurrency and have a wallet set up in order to purchase an NFT. If you need assistance with this, please visit our guides How To: Purchase Tez (XTZ) and How To: Set up a Wallet before completing the steps below.

Now let’s go purchase an NFT from Bit.Shes gallery!

Step 1: Navigate to Bit.Shes NFT Gallery Page at https://bitshes.com/gallery

Step 2: Select the NFT you wish to Collect.

This will bring you to the Individual NFT page.

Step 3: Click the Purchase Now button and you will be redirected to Hic et Nunc

Hic et Nunc, or HEN for short, is the platform our gallery currently uses for the minting and sale of Cean NFTs. HEN utilizes Tezos which is an innovative and energy-efficient blockchain.

Step 4: Sync your Tezos wallet with HEN

➔ Click on the “sync button” which will bring up your wallet choices.

➔ Click on your wallet of choice. In this example we are using the Temple wallet. Make sure your wallet is open.

As a reminder: If you need further explanation on buying Tez and/or setting up a wallet, please check out our tutorials How to: Purchase Tez (XTZ) and How to: Set up a Wallet.

➔ Click the orange connect button.

➔ Wait for the message to appear stating that permission has been granted.

➔ Your wallet is now synced! You can confirm this by making sure that a portion of your wallet address is shown in the upper right-hand corner.

Step 5: Click on price link (“collect for 10 tez”)

The piece we are buying in this example costs 10 tez (XTZ).

If your wallet doesn’t have enough tez (XTZ) to cover the purchase price and the small third-party fees, you will need to add more in order to complete the purchase.

Step 6: Click on orange confirm button

You will now see a message asking you to confirm or reject your purchase.

Press the confirm button.

After the transaction goes through, you will see a confirmation message that reads “successfully submitted operation.”

CONGRATULATIONS! You now are the proud owner of an NFT.

Now that you know how to purchase an NFT, let’s learn how to locate and view the NFTs you own on HEN.

➔ Click the menu on top right

➔ Click the manage assets link

➔ View your NFT(s). In order to do so, make sure that the “collection” tab is selected.
