How to Purchase NFTs
The process of purchasing NFTs in the Axie Infinity marketplace involves several key steps. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate through the process:
NOTE: To be able to purchase, you’ll need to have funds in your Ronin wallet. You may check our How to Deposit guide to learn how to add funds to your wallet.
Step 1: Sign In and Connect your Ronin Wallet to App.Axie
To make sure that you are able to do your transactions successfully, you will need to connect your Ronin wallet to app.axie. This connection enables you to make purchases and manage your NFT assets securely.
You’ll be prompted to connect your wallet the first time you log in or attempt to make a transaction with your wallet. This will prompt you to connect all addresses in your wallet, but you may opt to connect only the address you will be using to make the transactions.
Step 2: Select the NFT Collection
Select the appropriate NFT marketplace for the category with which you wish to purchase.
You can also hover over the Marketplace icon on App.Axie to quickly switch between the NFT collections.
Step 3: Browse and Select the Desired NFT
You can browse through the available NFT collections within your chosen collection.
You may use filters within each collection if you’re looking for something specific, such as if you are looking for specific parts on an axie, or a specific type of land plot.
Step 4: Complete the Purchase
When you've found the NFTs you wish to acquire, proceed to complete the purchase process by clicking the Buy Now button.
Select the token you would like to use for the purchase, then click Buy Now again and confirm the transaction on your Ronin wallet.
Once the purchase is finalized, the acquired NFTs will be accessible and manageable in the App.Axie Inventory as well as directly in your Ronin wallet through the NFT tab.
Bulk Purchase
Axie Sweep Mode
If you want to buy multiple floor axies at once, the marketplace has a sweep mode that lets you make multiple purchases at once.
Step 1: Enable the Sweep mode option on the top of the page.
Step 2: Select how many axies you would like to purchase, then click the Buy X axies button.
NOTE: Sweep mode purchases axies starting from the cheapest listed on the marketplace. You cannot choose to skip or filter axies with this feature.
Step 3: Select the token that you would like to use for the purchase, then click Buy X axies now and confirm the transaction with your wallet to complete the purchase.
Bulk Purchasing ERC-1155 Tokens
The marketplace also allows you to bulk purchase ERC-1155 tokens, such as Materials and Consumables. You will be able to select how many you want to purchase, and the marketplace will automatically purchase from multiple sellers’ available listings starting from the lowest price.
Step 1: On the token’s page, click the general Buy Now button at the top of the page.
Step 2: Enter the quantity you would like to purchase and the token you would like to use. The page will then show you the floor price, the average price for your purchase [along with the difference between the floor price and the average price], as well as the total price for the purchase.
Click Buy X Now and confirm the transaction with your Ronin wallet to complete the purchase.
