The e-commerce industry is without a doubt expanding every day. With more and more businesses going into digital to cater customers’ technological needs, many have already opted to increase their brand awareness by going online. Together with the increase of interest from people worldwide to the Blockchain Technology, there is no doubt that a time will come when all online businesses will be accepting digital currencies as another mode of payment.
With the current payment schemes of many online businesses and merchants, the crypto-community is yet to fully enjoy the perks of owning tokens for not being able to spend it on goods and services outside their tokens’ native platform. To be able to cater to the needs of the growing cypto-community, businesses will see a relevant increase in sales once crypto payments get integrated to their businesses.
To ensure that the crypto-community can make use of the wide capabilities of their owned digital currencies, the team behind Araw is paving ways to all of us.
Ranging from integrating digital currencies to e-commerce businesses to being a gateway for token holders to have seamless exchange from crypto to fiat, the team behind Araw has made everything to incorporate cryptocurrencies to our everyday shopping experience.
The Araw Platform is already an existing one without the integration of Blockchain Technology for more than two years. In hope to expand the platform and make it even more powerful and useful to all its users, the team has integrated Blockchan Technology to the existing platform.
The main goal of the Araw team is to build a Decentralised Payment Ecosystem for E-Commerce while leveraging Blockchain Technology. And to increase the perks of being a part of the ecosystem, the team has made the overall platform incentivized to further increase the value of the ecosystem as a whole.
With Araw, both businesses and users can fully make use of the digital capabilities by giving businesses real profit increase and ROI and users more options to fully make use of their digital tokens.
The Current Market
Despite the huge numbers representing the number of online shoppers worldwide or the daily online purchases done, many are still afraid to shop online due to the different lapses or undesirable situations they have once encountered.
The first of which is e-commerce’s trust and reliability issues. Many online businesses still claim to be legit and are continuously giving customers false hope for cheaper transaction fees. Customers have no other outlet to verify merchants’ business history so online shopping remains a game of luck and trust for many.
Second is the high transaction fees. One big reason why people shop online is because of its capability to allow cross-border shopping providing bigger grounds to do some spree. But to compensate for this benefit, merchants are giving buyers high topped fees on top of the product’s or service’s price. This lets other online buyers to leave their items on their shopping carts.
Third is the inability to adapt to current digital revolution of technology. This simply means many merchants are still not capable to accept cryptocurrencies in their platform, leaving the crypto community with no choice but to go through an exchange process first before fully making use of their hard-earned tokens.
With the three issues stated above, these are enough reason why most of the time online shopping experiences are undesirable. But to help solve these existing issues and other current issues surrounding the e-commerce industry and online payment schemes, the Araw token ecosystem was born.
