PalmPay is a mobile app for accepting cryptocurrency payments at any point-of-sale. Restaurants, cafe/bars, taxis, grocery stores, exporters, etc can use PalmPay to accept one or more cryptocurrencies, free of charge. The available API also enables merchants to integrate PalmPay with their existing billing systems if desired. Merchants' BitShares accounts collect the payments, and can auto-convert them to stable Smartcoins of local currency equivalent for the merchant.
"... To attain proper pricing and fiat currency equivalents, PalmPay has chosen the bitEUR Smartcoin as its primary anchor by default. However, bitRUBLE and many other reliable sources can easily be switched to such as bitSilver or HONEST.USD" - Ken Code, Agorise Ltd., Developer of PalmPay
Why does PalmPay use BitShares?
Apart from the blazing fast 1.5 second average transaction times - The BitShares Blockchain is above all a network protocol with a huge immutable database and even greater ecosystem. Businesses are free to build on top of the technology - even utilizing BitShares' own database of 40+ open-source dapps and tools, thus making it more accessible and feasible towards any new development.
Since fee income empowers the BitShares network (i.e. BTS core tokens), services offered on top are power for both the provider and the blockchain (BTS reserve pool).
