### **Step 6: Verify Custom Token** Click edit and check your custom ERC-20 token is now listed. ### **Step 7: Adjust Sale Settings** You can activate the sale of your NFTs via the \[Prepare Drop Button]. You will still have the option to use either the base token (e.g., ETH) or an app token (e.g., apeCoin) according to your preferences {% hint style="danger" %} If you want to switch from one token to another while the sale is active, collectors may encounter errors when trying to mint NFTs. In such cases, you should "Stop Sale" and then restart your sale with the newly selected ERC-20 token. {% endhint %}
