đź›’ How to Buy NFTs on the Polygon network
-
Prepare your wallet – Make sure you have MetaMask connected to OpenSea and set to the Polygon network.
-
Have enough POL – You need enough POL in your wallet to pay for the NFT + gas fees (transaction costs) on Polygon. (The gas fee itself is very small, usually like 0.1$).
-
The NFT price is shown in WETH.
What is WETH? – WETH (Wrapped Ethereum) is basically ETH that has been converted to work on the Polygon network. WETH is a token that represents ETH 1:1 but lives on Polygon, so it can be used for buying and selling NFTs on that chain. -
Don’t have WETH? – No problem! OpenSea can auto-convert your POL into WETH during checkout. If the automatic conversion isn’t available or doesn’t work, use MetaMask’s built-in Swap feature to swap your POL for WETH (Polygon).
-
Click “Buy Now” – Review the total cost, confirm the transaction in your MetaMask wallet, pay the small fee in POL and you’re done! The NFT will appear in your “Collected” tab.
