Question: Are there any free services where you can easily setup a webstore and accept BCH?
I am a Systems admin whos comfortable setting up anything needed to host an ecommerce website so any hosting fees and domain fees I can get around. However everything else I have yet to find a way.
I know you can add a payment gateway for BCH on wordpress with woocommerice however to setup woocommerce now you need to use wordpress the only way to install woocommerce on wordpress is to have a business plan which is 300 a year.
I want to run a webstore to see if I would actually be profitable or even worth the time money energy etc.
I dont want to list on ebay because of the fees and how the system works anything i list would get overshaddowed by users with higher ratings and paying extra to ebay for special placement and search. so not worth it to me.
Is there any ecommerce on like github or something that I can deploy and have bch payment gateway already built into the cart system?
is openbazzar open source can i just download the source and compile it to create a webstore?
What other options do I have ?
What would be great is if there is a decentralized marketplace for BCH people go to a main site where users could browse or search for products and services what it searches is individuals running small shops on say self hosted hardware or on bluetie or other hosting service. Something that can pull from github or an installer that could walk through a setup to setup your own personal shop but links to the central store so if they dont go directly to you they go to the main. Every person running a personal shop helps to run the main shop then that way if someone leaves or gets shutdown everything is still there and accessible.
Make an easily deployable software that walks the user through personal configs could have several tiers of service like a basic standard premium where other tools can be added community style that they can pay for if they choose like better themes also could pay for services to help get their products seen over others on the main site. Also get custom themes etc.
Idea:
Decentralized Main shopping and search site that runs off everyone running the ecommerce setup
Free eCommerce site builder that users can deploy using own hardware or hosted through providers that have easy deployment options for easy setup and management.
Premium services - Layouts, Sponsorships, marketing etc. subdomain address for the shop
Payment Gateway - BCH other cryptos maybe could have the chance to integrate for payments
Rating system - for users to rate the shops when viewing from main site does not apply if user goes directly to shops own hosted website.
Reward Program - Could create an SLP token system where users buying get tokens they can use for discounts, promotions, giveaways, or redeem for BCH
TOR integration??
Let's make an easy way anyone could start their own store and sell whatever they want for crypto and only crypto. Decentralized so if one shop sells something illegal only that shop gets shut down and the rest continues to thrive! I believe that would bring alot more ways to spend BCH and create a new type of market system one thats harder to censor
