Crowdmuse is proud to announce the public opening of its Create flow, marking a significant milestone in the development of the Crowdmuse onchain infrastructure and marketplace for creator commerce.

In this post, we will touch on -

1. Crowdmuse beta marketplace review and lookahead

2. Key features of Create flow for merchants and product demos

3. Crowdmuse Create summary, community support and coverage

Since the launch of our beta marketplace in Summer 2023, the Crowdmuse marketplace has acted as a sandbox to experiment and collaborate with verified and vetted creators, brands and manufacturers in our network to sell their collaborative products onchain.

The Create flow has only been accessible to early bird users over the months to help us test and iterate the UI/UX and functionality of the CrowdmuseProduct Contract with a no-code interface to sell digital and physical consumer products in just minutes, equipping our users with seamless USDC and Credit Card payments, e-commerce checkout and customer order management.

With automatic revenue splits for collaborators, creative asset attribution and simplified payment options, creating and selling products onchain has never been easier.

Crowdmuse beta marketplace review and lookahead

In our end-of-year product 2023 review post, we covered the fundamentals of the Crowdmuse infrastructure for developing and utilizing our no-code smart contract tools to create and sell consumer products onchain.

To date, the CrowdmuseProduct Contract has had over 10k in transaction volume of mints for both digital and physical products, with over $60k in GMV on priced products including earnings for individual creators comprising of $16k+ and $15k+ in earnings for manufacturers. Our contract has been utilized to sell products directly on the Crowdmuse marketplace, merch frames on Farcaster for cross-platform distribution and third-party marketplaces on compatible web3 platforms including Bonfire and Zora.

Our focus in beta has been on improving the user experience for both buyers and sellers, continuing product experiments to increase distribution for limited edition drops and streamlining the process of matchmaking supply with demand. With the opening of Create we look to meet certain scalability challenges when it comes to supporting access to create digital and physical products with Crowdmuse.

Key features of Create flow for merchants and product demos

We recommend reviewing the ‘How to create a product’ user guide and FAQs before creating and selling a product on Crowdmuse. As a Product Owner, you can sign in and click Create to deploy a CrowdmuseProduct Contract associated with the wallet used to deploy which gives you certain benefits including some of the key features listed below.

Instant onchain product creation - Effortlessly mint digital and physical products and showcase them in the Crowdmuse Marketplace or embed contract addresses for mints on third-party platforms.

Automated revenue sharing - Product collaborators receive their share of the earnings by clicking ‘Distribute Funds’ on their product page. Revenue splits from product sales can automatically get distributed without the need for third-party intermediaries, enabling a simplified and transparent revenue distribution process.

Flexible payment options and express checkout - Seamless transactions with an express e-commerce checkout for USDC and Credit Card payment options using our native Stripe API integration, to make the purchasing and selling process accessible for all. See user flow for payments and express checkout here.

Delivery location options - To make fulfilment easier for our merchants, we allow Product Owners to select the countries they can deliver to if they are unable to deliver physical products internationally. See FAQs for more details on delivery and fulfilment advice and services.

Customer order management and inventory - Similar to most e-commerce platforms, access to first-party data on buyers including order details and delivery is fundamental for the successful fulfillment of orders. Product Owners can simply click ‘Download buyer details’ to access a CSV of orders for customer order management.

Network Support - Compatible with major networks including Base, Optimism, Zora Network, Ethereum Mainnet and Polygon, enhancing interoperability and reach.
