so will people be able to set up their own stores?
This is awesome. I see online courses. If I could set up a store, steemain could pay via steem and receive activation keys that then bypass my own payment system.
I am now following @paywithsteem. Looking forward to the launch and what this could bring
@paulag, for now we have entered the first phase. As the days come, we will be rolling out more and more stages. And yes, we have ideas to your questions and many more plans that is waiting to come to fruition. :)
so it will become some sort of Ebay? great! exactly what Steem needs.
@lavater, YES! It will be easier for the Steemit Community to access and pay directly. Instead of the hassle of withdrawing or converting them. And, as we roll out more stuff, all these things that we're doing, it's gonna benefit the Steemit Community as well. So, we're open to ideas on what items you want to see on @paywithsteem so we can help make it available for you
What I'd like to see is Users being able to create their own listings on the site. Maybe even auctions. Just like Ebay. SteemBay ;)
I guess PaywithSteem for the moment is something else,more of a regular online store like Overstock. A good first step nonetheless ;)
Yeaps, we will take this into consideration. Thank you for ur ideas. This is why Steemit is great :)
I was just thinking this myself! I make hand crocheted scarves and blankets etc and would love to be able to sell them for steem! :D
And we are searching for people like you. :) For now, I hope u enjoy ur time at our site.
Brilliant! :D I am excited about this! Following you now and waiting in anticipation of news! thank you!
Also, we're open to ideas on what items you want to see on www.paywithsteem.com so we can help make it available for you.
Obviously it may have to be items or services that can be offered internationally, as the steemit community is borderless which is amazing in itself, however we have to abide by the common laws for shipping regulations etc
Yeaps! It is definitely on our plans to make it happen. We will do it one at a time. :)
Hmn...handmade ...sought after stuff.
Yes, I usually sell them at events and donate the profits to charity but I have had so many people ask me for commissioned pieces and ask if I have an Etsy shop or sell on Ebay, but the fee's are too high with ebay and paypal, Etsy has potential, but I like the idea of selling my items for Steem to help build my blog profile :) It is hard to build up your SP as a minnow
That is part of our purpose when we feature your work...we aim to provide the artist with the exposure they deserve.
Steem Inc. announced at SteemFest that there are very concrete plans to authorize new user tokens which will allow Steem accounts to be integrated anywhere online.
So soon you will be able to launch let's say your own WordPress based website, complete with Woocommerce store, and let users pay with their wallet.
And of course also upvote, and thus reward, your content
This is exciting news! :D As you know, I am not very tech savvy, but with a bit of guidance, I will defo be trying this out to grow my little business!
There will most definitely be WordPress plugins to integrate that. There is already an active Steem/WP developer btw. @recrypto has two plugins for WordPress already.
And it won't be long eithe before we see market places, very much like Etsy, operating on the Steem blockchain.
That is fantastic! Thank you for the developer details I shall follow them too and start looking into it. I didn't really get on with WordPress, I much prefer steemit
You will catch the wave and ride it like a boss.
