No-Code Point of Sale System

Problem to Solve:

Small mom & pop stores are looking to accept SPL tokens, especially SOL & USDC/USDT. However they have no developer resources and are technically limited.

‍

Possible Solution:

Create a simple and fast onboarding process for merchants to accept SPL tokens. Features may include but are not limited to -

1. Helping merchants set up their wallets

   ‍The solution can have an online & offline mix. Having a dedicated team visit the mom & pop stores and support them with onboarding.
   ‍

2. Point-of-sale with an integrated on-ramp feature

   Customers can pay in fiat or their choice of token. Once the customer scans merchant QR code which will redirect them to their wallet. It shows the transaction details to the customer just like any other transaction with merchant details
   ‍

3. Transfer request to the merchant account

   Creating a product which ensures funds are deposited in the merchant account.
   ‍

4. Customized POS box

   Creating customized POS box with QR code to receive funds & a transaction status indicator. Option to change the QR code later based on choice of merchant to go with a self custodial wallet or a centralized exchange wallet.‍
