Token presale is at the core of what we’ll discuss today! Hello, everyone. We continue to integrate the Web3 world and WordPress with each other. With TokenICO, which was completely redesigned and released version 2.0 last week, we will talk about how you can create token presale, i.e. ICO & IDO and launchpad for tokens in ERC20 standard on Ethereum and EVM-based networks such as BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche.
First, let’s talk a little bit about what TokenICO is.
TokenICO is a WordPress plugin that you can get for free on WordPress.org, but it is basically a WordPress plugin that you can create a presale, airdrop, launchpad and ICO & IDO that is not free.With this plugin, you can create presales at more favorable rates without the need to pay high commission fees like PinkSale and similar platforms, and with services like PinkSale, you need to direct your investors to their site, while with TokenICO, you can sell your cryptocurrencies, i.e. tokens, directly through your WordPress website.
First download and activate TokenICO from the link below. Then let’s take a visual look at how we can create a presale.
1 – Token presale creator page
If we have downloaded and installed the plugin, TokenICO will appear in the menu and please open the creator page.
2 – Select the network for your token
The first step is to select which blockchain network your token is on. In this example, we will proceed with the token we created on the Ethereum Sepolia Testnet network and therefore we choose Sepolia Testnet.
3 – Enter your token contract address
Now that we have selected the network, step 2 is to enter the contract address of our token in the relevant field. If you don’t enter a correct token address, you will see that the details section fails to retrieve the information and warns you. If you enter a correct token address, you will already see the information.
4 – Fill in presale limit details
Let’s determine the total amount of ETH you want to raise, the amount of tokens traders will receive for 1 ETH, and the minimum and maximum purchase values of a wallet address.
5 – Select start and end times
Here you must specify the date and time when the presale will start and end. In this example, we chose 2-3 minutes later. Because we will show you how to make a purchase, that is, how to participate in the presale.
6 – Connect wallet and create token presale
Afterwards, you should connect to the MetaMask wallet, because the MetaMask wallet is a standard wallet for EVM networks.
After connecting to the wallet, let’s start the token presale creation process by pressing the create presale button and accept requests from the wallet.
7 – Creating a token presale is easy
That’s how easy it is to create an ERC20 token presale with TokenICO. In the next example we will show you how to buy tokens after the presale has started.
8 – How do you buy tokens in the presale?
You cannot participate in the presale with the wallet you created the presale with. Therefore, please create a second account, reconnect with it and enter the minimum value or maximum value or something in between and click the Buy with ETH button. Confirm the request from the wallet. That’s how easy it is to participate in the presale and buy tokens.
9 – Use shortcodes to show presales
TokenICO has 3 shortcodes. They are as follows and only the 3rd shortcode takes parameters.
[tokenico-list]
[tokenico-creator] (only in premium)
[tokenico-single key=”*”]
In the example below we give an example for the tokenico-single shortcode. When the presale is created, copy the presale key from the box that only the admin can see and create a page and enter the shortcode as in the example. This way you can show the token presale box on any page you want.
