Shopify + Cryptovoxels Integration

A brief overview of a possible approach for Shopify + Cryptovoxels Integration for the http://alienhoney.art Gallery in Cryptovoxels.

Now you have URL, and Shopify Store:

We're going to install a print on demand App:

Printiful, which is a Print on Demand Service, that allows you to design consumer goods and prints using your artwork, and then have those designs printed and fulfilled through Printiful's warehouses and print shops.

What this will do, is allow you to sell physical goods in addition to your tokenized art assets.

People are already doing this on HIVE and in #cryptoart with various facemasks.

The second thing to setup will be Coinbase Commerce.

That link there is a walkthrough, which will allow you to hook up your Coinbase account through an API to Shopify, and allow payments in the top cryptocurrencies.

The third thing to consider here is some work that Lenara Verle is putting together Papermint.qq.

I think the print on demand would be for having prints fulfilled // automated by a third party.

Something interesting, but requiring a bit more attention would be putting together a handful of paper wallets, and then selling those in conjunction with the prints, or along side them as a separate component.

When I am doing my graphic novel sales, I will be signing the books and sending them out, which means that for each book I send out, I will be able to also create and print and distribute a paper wallet with some sort of promotional tokenized artwork within.

I think for my own work, I can see this as a solid invitation to HIVE as well, seeing as how this may be the first onboarding experience for artists into Ethereum.

Since my next project is going to be centered within HIVE, and focused on engagement on HIVE as a choose your own adventure erotic comic, it would make sense to invite everyone onto the platform that way.

So, the package I would send out would include:

[Graphic Novel Print Copy]
[NFT Paper Wallet]
[and some invitation // perhaps paper wallet for HIVE as well.]

This would need to be vetted, and only offered to sincere people who have already financially supported my work in Kickstarter or Patreon, so I know that they are interested and invested.

In this case, offering them a paper wallet on Ethereum, or creating them an account for HIVE is more just like removing barriers to entry for them -- so that they can more easily access my work on HIVE, and participate within the Choose Your Own Adventure comic project that I'm working on next.

Another thought would be something along the lines of -- collectors who are already NFT Fluent, and buying your work on http://alienhoney.art -- do they want a paper wallet to give an NFT as a gift to their friends?

Might be worth sending them one.

Either way -- each person who has a gallery show in http://alienhoney.art would need to create their own Shopify store, if they desire to do so -- because shopify requires a connection to your bank, and your home address and your coinbase API.

So, it would not be practical for us to have a shared store -- but it might be practical for each of those who are posting in this gallery to have our own store.

If you are someone else who is reading this -- maybe you can follow in suite, or experiment with a similar structure and let me know how it goes.

Though they don't have Print On Demand, that I can see immediately. So, that might be something that is more worth while for shipping your own paper wallets, or Prints.
