How it Works

The release is comprised of 4 primary parts:

Verify API ⚙️ : a NodeJS server that handles user authentication, email receipts and notifications as well as various other transactional duties. It also handles integrations with 3rd party stores like Shopify.

Smart Contracts📜 [open source]: the contracts that receive cryptocurrencies (initially only ETH and a select few ERC20 compatible tokens)

Open Source

We’ve open sourced the test contract, and we also plan on releasing the production contract once we’re ready for Mainnet. We also plan to release the source code for the Dashboard and Checkout solutions later this year.

Release before you’re ready

There are a lot of things we’d like to add to this release, but we’ve favored releasing early instead of holding back till it’s perfect. These include:

Support for other wallets (not just Metamask)

Responsive design for the checkout screen

Integrations/plugins with shopping carts

We’ll be planning these into future product releases.

Final Note

While we have raised doubts about the suitability of crypto in it’s current state for use in commerce, we felt that it was important to deliver on the promises we mentioned in our white paper. We will monitor uptake on this solution as well as the Verify Payments fiat solution and continue to invest our efforts where they deliver the greatest return.

Thank you for being a part of our journey! We will continue to work hard to deliver on our mission.
