Case Study: New York Fashion Week unlocks accessible NFT access with thirdweb

Unlocking access to New York Fashion Week with NFTs | NYFW x Afterpay

The fintech brand Afterpay, in partnership with New York Fashion Week, sought to use web3 to democratize access to the famously exclusive event for a new audience unfamiliar with cryptocurrency. To overcome this user experience challenge, they worked with thirdweb and leveraged its native Paper Checkout integration to create a simplified onboarding and purchasing process.

thirdweb's solution provided a streamlined fiat on-ramp, allowing users to create a custodial wallet with an email or social login and purchase NFTs directly with a credit card, debit card, or via buy-now-pay-later installments. This user-friendly approach resulted in the NFT collection selling out in just seven days, generating over $20,000 for charity, and receiving widespread acclaim from leading fashion industry publications.
