Algowears, Ecommerce Fashion Store

⭐ Introduction

Hello world 👋,

Really proud to present before you, AlgoWears, the next generation of ecommerce payment as well my entry for the Netlify x Hashnode Hackathon 🔥.

💫 AlgoWears is so cool, Why AlgoWears?

Payment offers zero transaction fees/charges.

Because payments are conducted without intermediaries, transactions do not involve fees or service charges using third-party intermediaries. However, users do have to pay Algorand's blockchain network fees to conduct the transactions which are minimal compared to the traditional payment method involving third party intermediaries.

Ease of Access (Payment) Because users are able to send and receive algos and choice coins with only a smartphone or computer, Algowears is theoretically available to populations of users without access to traditional banking systems, credit cards, and other methods of payment. User can execute a transaction by simply connecting their wallet and make instant payment for goods purchased on the platform. No debit card or personal information is required.

Payment is Mobile. Owing to the fact that crypto is a borderless currency, As with many online payment systems, Algo owners can pay for their goods anywhere that they have Internet access. However, unlike most online payments made with bank accounts or credit cards, personal information is not necessary to complete any transaction.

Transactions are secure and irreversible One of the characteristics of Algorand's blockchain is that it is immutable. Therefore, transactions using the blockchain are irreversible and cannot be amended by a third party, such as a government entity or a financial services agency.

🌊 The App Flow

Below is the preview of the home page

First, Create an account or sign in to an already created account or with Google.

Proceed to the Checkout Page, this features the total amount and the different payment options available for the applications.

In this application, a User can carry out transactions with stripe payment gateway.
As said, The core standout features of this application is that it provides an easy means for user to send funds(coins) from their wallet to an escrow address provided by the Algowears platform by simply connecting their Algorand wallet either on desktop or mobile.
A user can pay with Algo or Choice Coin by connecting their algosigner wallet or myAlgoWallet or Algorand Mobile Wallet as demonstrated in the picture below.

And finally, once the payment is completed with any of the options, the user is directed back to the homepage.
