Configuring Sales
This guide covers the sale configuration options available when setting up a mint on Highlight.
Choosing a sale type
Section titled “Choosing a sale type”Select the pricing model that fits your drop:
- Fixed Price — Simple, predictable pricing
- Dutch Auction — Price discovery through scheduled drops
- Ranked Auction — Competitive bidding for high-demand drops
See Sale Types for detailed descriptions of each.
Setting the price
Section titled “Setting the price”- For fixed price, set a single price in the native currency
- For Dutch auction, configure 1-5 price levels and the drop interval
- For ranked auction, set the minimum reserve bid
Supply limits
Section titled “Supply limits”Control how many tokens can be minted:
- Max per transaction — Limit how many tokens a collector can mint in one transaction
- Max per wallet — Limit total tokens a single wallet can accumulate
- Max total — Total tokens available through this sale (independent of collection supply)
Payment recipients
Section titled “Payment recipients”Configure where sale proceeds go. You can split payments across multiple wallets with percentage-based splits.
Gas sponsorship
Section titled “Gas sponsorship”Enable gas sponsorship to cover transaction fees for your collectors. When enabled, collectors mint for free (excluding the token price).
Constraints:
- Gas sponsorship is only available for fixed price sales
- Gas sponsorship is not available for gated sales (must be public access)
Access control
Section titled “Access control”Set the sale access mode:
- Public — Anyone can mint
- Gated — Only wallets meeting gate conditions can mint
Sale replacement
Section titled “Sale replacement”Each collection supports one sale at a time. Updating the sale configuration replaces the existing sale. To transition between sale phases (e.g., from gated early-access to public), update the sale configuration when you’re ready to switch.
