Inspiration
We have developed a custom token for our customer. The idea was simple - our customer would be rewarding their fans with tokens in exchange for some marketing or other community activity. Follower then could spend the tokens on a e-shop like website, they can redeem some presents for example merch, or any other goods. We came to a realisation in the process of integrating the token on the website, that there is no standard solution in the e-commerce that would handle this and could integrate the vast amount of polygon tokens in to the financial system and e-commerce specifically. This could be a problem on many other occasions as well, that we haven't yet came across, but any kind of third party integrations will face this.
What it does
The integration is a key word in this project Problem: Altough it's easy to transfer polygon assets via wallets, it is complicated to use transfers programmatically (API). You have to setup your own node or node-as-service, then watch transactions and logs to catch your wanted transaction.
Our solution: Polygon payment gateway as a service. You create your own gateway, choose which tokens you want to accept. Then you can either setup webhooks to get information about incomming payments or check the new payments periodically via API.
How we built it
We haven't built it yet, but would love to. :) What we have created is a solution for our customer visible here: Brute this looks like a traditionla eshop divided into sections / QUESTS for the fans to work on and REWARDS section where they can exchange their tokens for goods. Code is visible here: Github
Challenges we ran into
Missing webhook integrations.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Project will be launched soon, we did it in quite rapid pace including the design.
What we learned
That there is a huge market potential waiting for this solution to be made scalable.
What's next for Polygon Payment Gateway
Help us develop it and spread it across the globe and we would love to keep on bringing more interesting ideas in the Polygon ecosystem :)
