INTEGRATING BLOCK-CHAIN TECHNOLOGY INTO E-COMMERCE AND PAYMENT ECOSYSTEM

Since the launch of blockchain technology in 2009, there has been a growing adoption of cryptocurrency in every sector of the economy. The only Industry really lagging behind in its adoption of the blockchain technology is the e-commerce industry -a growing industry whose value of sales as at 2014 is worth $1.3 trillion. In fact, it is estimated that by 2020 the number of online shoppers will be up to 2 billion. However, as much as the growth is good for global economy, in terms of increase in sales and profit, there is a growing concern among service providers on how to amass loyal customers. This is because there is fierce competition in the marketplace, as most goods are virtually similar in function. More so, existing customer reward scheme is highly saturated, every individual online shop offers their own exclusive points system, hence, consumers usually end up underutilizing them

             ARAW

The araw is a decentralized payment ecosystem powered by the Ethereum Blockchain technology. Through ARAW token they aim to be a part of the populace day-to-day online & in-store shopping. The ARAW offers Online cryptocurrency payment, end-to-end solutions for E-Commerce marketplace, contactless cryptocurrency card and Unified reward system

              UNIFIED REWARD SYSTEM

The 'unified reward system' addresses the issue of improper utilization of existing loyalty reward system by allowing firms to incentivize consumption of their service. This they do by offering real value via ARAW token. Moreover, the ‘Unified Reward System’ allows service providers to control the format of their reward plan, by being in the sole distributor of the token to their customers

        ARAW PLATFORM

The ARAW platform allows service providers to keep track of their customers, engage and reward loyal customers, and perform in-store marketing. To encourage the mass adoption of ARAW, the ARAW platform targets two channels. They are:

                E-commerce

        ARAW touch and pay card

The ARAW touch and pay card offer customers an opportunity to earn ARAW tokens for every purchase of product or services they make. Moreover, customers can use the token they earned via loyalty to make other purchases online. The value of ARAW token is dependent on the existing banking system integration since it links customers ARAW wallet and their bank account together. This liquidity opportunity is envisioned to result in an increase in crypto-market participation by regular people
