Detailed Plan
Welcome to our Point-of-Sale proposal,
To help spread the word about Cardano ADA and Cardano native tokens, the world must come into contact with this payment method on a regular basis, both In-Person & Online. This will build adoption and uptake around the world.
Website Software
We need more applications that bridge between the Crypto/blockchain world and currently popular website software, that can be easily installed into Websites as components, modules or plugins.
These applications would bridge between PHP code and integrate the code required to talk to the Cardano Blockchain. They would be installed using the standard content management system installer.
Website Creation & Website Builders
Applications need to be built for Popular open-source Website Content Management Systems (CMS) like, Wordpress Drupal, Joomla and Magento, here are the approximate number of websites built on the top 10 Content Management Systems:
WordPress 28,000,000
Wix 4,500,000
Progress Sitefinity 3,100,000
Squarespace 2,500,000
Shopify 1,800,000
Joomla! 1,500,000
GoDaddy Website Builder 1,500,000
Weebly 1,000,000
Blogger 632,000
Drupal 588,000
As you can see there is a large existing market, which work on both computers and mobile devices, where digital payment systems will become required in growing numbers, with the speed and transaction volume of Cardano this will be a good selling point (pun intended!).
Use cases
Applications will be required for these main financial transactions carried out on websites:
Retail payments - so the ability to pay with Cardano tokens at the checkout of an online store, this would require communication between the website component the block chain and of course the user's wallet.
Donations - the ability to accept one-time payments, these may be carried out by offering simple buttons or as part of the checkout procedure.
Subscriptions - Subscriptions would be used for membership sites, software as a service or maybe recurring donations.
Shopping Carts
Payment solutions for a wide a wide range of shopping carts such as Virtuemart, WooCommerce, Opencart, Shopify HikaShop etc. can be written that seamlessly integrate Cardano digital payment facilities.
Website Functionality
In addition to processing payments with Crypto, there are other applications that would be useful such as easy ways to use Blockchain to track stock, deliveries and even activities like recycling using bar codes or QR Codes.
Our proposal is to develop a team within Carl Henry Global to build and distribute the necessary applications through the various repositories.
Retail In-Person Point-of-Sale
As part of this proposal, we would start the research and preparation of plans to launch a viable payment processing method that could be used by retailers of all sizes.
We also envisage the acceptance of multiple Cardano Native Tokens, particularly if there are country specific tokens launched on the exchanges.
Unbanked Retail Point-of-Entry
We will incorporate a facility for the unbanked to use retail shops, cafes etc. to convert their fiat currency into Cardano based tokens that can be used for remittances and online commerce.
If the user is buying items from the business, they will be able to "over-pay" with fiat currency, the over payment would be credited to their Cardano wallet. If local laws allow, we could also include a simple "Cash-Converter" facility where the retailer would get a fee for accepting fiat and crediting it to their wallet.
<u>We would encourage participating retailers to also accept Cardano ADA and other native tokens for goods & services.</u>
Thank you for reading our proposal, looking forward to responding to any queries.
Best wishes,
Carl Henry
