Create instant checkout pages for your business or service hosted on IPFS.
Prototype built for the HackFS 2021 hackathon.
Inspiration
Pain points:
To create a hosted product catalog, usually you'd need to pay a subscription fee hosted provider like squarespace or shopify.
Many of these existing providers don't integrate cryptocurrency.
Providers aren't distributed and suffer downsides of existing centralized platforms (vendor lock in, variable pricing, outages, credit card fees)
Features
Discover existing catalogs and menus. Use the the IPFS cid as the primary key for storefront access.
Upload images and descriptions for the catalog. Metadata for the catalog is delivered via a Ceramic stream.
Show sharable product pages hosted on IPFS.
Integrated pricing and checkout using Unlock protocol (other payment integrations could also be added).
Create a new wallet to support payments to help new businesses adopt and receive cryptocurrency payments.
IPFS powered storage and transaction record keeping.
Technologies used
IPFS and Protocol labs (Hosting and sharing of assets): IPFS and Filecoin are the primary drivers making CheckoutFS possible. Using web3.storage, a storefront or product page creator can host a distributed menu or catalog of items available for purchase with cryptocurrency.
Pillar (payments and wallet creation for uploaders) * Enables wallet generation and onboarding for businesses that may not have crypto accounts already. Pillar exists on the wallet page and is integrated live to validate that a customer's web3 wallet is ready to accept payments. Pillar is also leveragable for the checkout process which would need further development.
Unlock Protocol (purchasing): Provides cryptocurrency gateway to enable visitors/customers to purchase items from the checkout page. https://app.unlock-protocol.com/dashboard
Audius: Music sharing and content listings. Audius API is integrated into the product for musicians to be able to sell rights/use to their music through catalog pages. Lookup any playlist ID and get an instant page.
Ceramic: Used for storefront metadata storage and retrieval using streams (community node: https://developers.ceramic.network/run/nodes/community-nodes/). When a product page is accessed, a ceramic stream with the streamId of the page cid is opened and the metadata is rendered with the products from IPFS.
Fluence: Price oracle interaction for rendering real time USD quotes on checkout pages based on latest Eth price. Fluence enables doing this without a deployed smart contract or other oracle. Custom checkout pages would also be generated via an IPNS call.
Integrate payments and checkout flows directly from the catalog (enabling the product to be used table side). Currently this is using a fixed Unlock.js modal.
Add support for physical address collection for physical or remote item purchase.
Email integration via fluence backend.
IPNS publishing and fully custom domains.
App prototype currently demoed on rinkeby, additional testing and implementation will be required for mainnet usage.
