So what can you do at the moment?
The first version allows you to:
- Connect to your ledger hardware wallet and to metamask.
- Create, send and pay a request in ETH
- Pay the same request multiple times
- Update a broadcasted request
- Check all outstanding and incoming requests assiociated with your ETH address
- Create smart contracts that interact with the Request Network.
Accept Cryptocurrency Payments Online as a Merchant
A great addition to the first version of the Request Network is the Payment Solution.
An example below:
Request Network will allow you to accept payments on your website.
- Do you offer services?
- Do you offer digital goods?
- Do you offer products?
If your answer is Yes. Then Great! Now you can accept payments with the Request Network!
Even though, there are still big steps to be taken for seamless integration. Progress is being made.
