Reporting tools within merchant platform are aimed to simplify Merchant’s accounting; The payment link is a merchant tool which allows receiving payments for their products online quickly. The payment link is generated from the merchant’s profile. It contains the information that a user requires to be able to pay for a specific item (the amount of crypto, the crypto-currency used and the merchant’s wallet address). This link can be sent to the customers through any means of communication, and when clicked on, it opens up a
page similar to the Payment Gateway page.
Why accept crypto?
It’s the future of money. Singapore is widely regarded as one of the most crypto-friendly countries in the world, largely due to its stable politics, reliable infrastructure, and favourable business environment.
Incumbents such as major financial institutions are also investing time and resources in blockchain initiatives to keep themselves relevant in this fast-changing domain. Local banks such as DBS, UOB and OCBC have participated in proof-of- concept of Project Ubin using the blockchain technology developed by R3– a distributed ledger platform that has integrated with Microsoft’s cloud service.
What is Ethereum (the currency being accepted)?
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.
These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.
This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middle man or counterparty risk.
