At Nifty Gateway, we’re constantly working to make nifties more accessible to everyone so that we can get 1 billion people collecting them. Expanding the number of items that can be bought using a Nifty Gateway account is a great way to do this.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce that you can buy items for sale on OpenSea using Nifty Gateway.

What is OpenSea?

OpenSea is the largest marketplace for NFTs and crypto goods. Anyone can easily post an item for sale, and the OpenSea team is constantly delivering new ways to buy and sell your NFTs.

We’re constantly impressed by their ability to ship (😁) product and we are very proud to be supporting one of the most exciting projects in the NFT space.

How does it work?

OpenSea has quite a few items for sale (over 1 million). Instead of trying to make a listing for everything they have, we choose to offer a simpler way to do it — just enter an OpenSea URL into our Nifty Gateway x OpenSea page, and a buy window will pop open.

Our system finds the item, lets you buy it and pay with a credit card. It is that simple!

Project support

To ensure the system works well, we’re launching OpenSea with support for projects that we have specifically whitelisted.

The reason we are doing is that there are many projects that might not be ERC721 compliant — meaning that we’re not able to integrate our system with them successfully.

If you are looking to buy something that we don’t support, just shoot me an email — duncan@niftygateway.com — and we can get it up and running for you!

More games

One of the reasons that we are excited about offering OpenSea support is that they help many new NFT projects get started selling items.

If you are building your project on top of OpenSea, and want to sell your NFTs for credit card, visit our developers page our shoot us an email at paternerships@niftygateway.com!

Special thanks to the OpenSea team for helping us get this up and running.

Happy collecting!
