As a part of our newly released Dether app, Dether for Shops enables retailers that accept cryptocurrency as a means of payment to boost their visibility by adding their business to the Dether Map.

What is Dether for Shops?

First released in March 2018 on Ethereum mainnet, Dether for Shops is the “Google Maps” for retailers that accept cryptocurrency as a means of payment.

With this new and stable version integrated in the Dether App on Ethereum mainnet, we’ve built an even more frictionless solution for business owners to easily target crypto holders by registering themselves on the Dether map.

Why use Dether for Shops?

✔️Advertise to crypto holders on an alternative platform

By using Dether for Shops, you can advertise your business without needing to go through traditional advertising channels on social media.

✔️Share details of your store and promote your business with crypto enthusiasts

Use Dether for Shops to share the details of your business with crypto enthusiasts—including your business category and opening hours—making you easy to find and visit. Start accepting Ether as a means of payment. The Dether app provides you an Ethereum wallet that enables you to accept Ether and ERC20 tokens.

✔️Feature your shop on the Dether map via geolocation

The Dether Map uses geolocation to help crypto users find business accepting-crypto around them. Much like Google Maps, users can quickly visualize the available business around them, without you needed to do any additional work to advertise your location.

✔️Stimulate your business in the growing crypto market and be a part of the path towards crypto mass adoption

Cryptocurrency continues to establish itself as an excellent alternative to traditional fiat and banking, and the current interest in decentralized finance or “defi” mounts daily. By listing your business on Dether for Shops, you can join this movement and capture a growing sector of the crypto market, all while helping to normalize cryptocurrency and joining the path towards cryptocurrency mass adoption.

✔️Own your surrounding zone and rent space to others

By using Dether for Shops’s unique Harberger-based auction system, you can “own” your business zone and its surrounding space, later renting this space to others. This can be an excellent way to promote your business in a given area, or to earn extra profit by renting this area out to other surrounding businesses.

✔️Limit your exposure to crypto volatility

We provide you a crypto-to-stable coins exchange feature so you can limit your expose to crypto volatility (if you wish to).

What’s new in this Dether for Shops release?

✔️Now integrated directly into Dether app

You no longer need to access a separate app or platform to access Dether for Shops — use it right from the main Dether app. Plus, you don’t need MetaMask or any additional wallets to stake DTH.

✔️Completed redesigned and improved app interface

The New Dether for Shops allows you to add a shop description, categories that best fit your business, and more detailed opening hours. Plus, you can easily top-up DTH with the swipe of a button.

✔️Dether Zoning System

We’ve integrated the same zoning system available to individual Dether sellers into Dether for Shops. As a shop owner, you can simply stake DTH to add your shop on the map. You can also chose to own your business zone: you can then rent this space out to other businesses, or keep a greater area in which to advertise your own business.

How it works: 3 simple steps

Step 1: Choose your location

Register your business on the Dether map by choosing your business’s location on the Dether map.

Step 2: Submit your shop details

Make sure buyers know when you’re open and what you’re selling: don’t hesitate to write down your website URL or any specific advertising message you’d like to address to crypto holders that will come to your shop (for example: “5% off on ETH/DAI payments”).

Once you have submitted your details, you will need stake DTH tokens: either 42 DTH tokens if there is no zone owner where you shop is located, or the number of DTH tokens that the zone owner has chosen if there is a seller that owns the zone where your shop is located.
