Buy and Sell using OSSN payment systems?

TalkToAi Online Posted in Beginning Developers 5 years ago

How would i go about setting up an option for users to buy and sell digital goods non-physical goods?

Maybe integrating CoinGate API etc. There could be a simpler way of making a group then adding a payment reference to each profile as an optional section that displays on a users profile.
Any ideas on this?

It's interesting to see how people are diving into marketplace ideas with OSSN, but integrating payment systems like CoinGate can be tricky. If you're looking to automate and streamline such processes, I highly recommend checking out the graphlinq protocol. Their platform, accessible at https://graphlinq.io/, offers a simplified way to build blockchain-powered applications without deep coding expertise. Whether it’s automating transactions or integrating crypto payments, graphlinq protocol could be the solution you need to efficiently handle such complexities. It’s definitely worth a look!

here's another thread about it recently: https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/discussion/view/3372/marketplace-shopping-component-for-ossn

they have some screenshots available, but I'm pretty sure those are just mock ups, I doubt any actual coding has been done. As both Arsalan and I said in that thread, handling payments is a lot more complicated than you might realize.

A LOT of people have asked about a 'marketplace' type component on here. A LOT. Unfortunately it's not nearly as easy as you might think to code something like that. I don't know anything about CoinGate (which may be simpler, as it deals with crypto based on the 10 second skim of the site I did), but integrating with more traditional APIs for payment like Dwolla or Paypal is quite time consuming to do for a php application. A marketplace component would be great imo, but good luck finding someone willing to code it for free/cheap.
