E-commerce
The rate at which E-commerce has increased has been so impressive, but they face some trials and disadvantages that has been so hard to eliminate. There have been so much competition between merchant and consumers. Many consumers know this because of past experiences and testimonies of others who had fallen victim, so, they have lost total trust in rating systems today.
The Internet has made it possible for consumers to buy products and services online, from both national and international companies. E-commerce is a way to do business in certain markets and for selected customers, which can increase sales volume, lower costs or provide more real-time information to customers. Organizations are able to store large amounts of information on their websites. This information is available around-the-clock, which facilitate communicative relationships with users all over the world. The users do not even have to go outside the door. Many customers seek information online and make their purchases offline.
Trust
Online shopping requires more trust, since it is more complex than shopping in a traditional environment. Establishing trust on internet is very difficult because of the absence of physical presence between buyer and sellers. In most social interactions involving uncertainty and dependency, trust is generally an important factor. One group of researchers finds that: “Online transactions and exchange relationships are not only characterized by uncertainty, but also by anonymity, lack of control and potential opportunism, making risk, and trust crucial elements of electronic commerce”. Trust is a mental shortcut that consumers can use, when trying to reduce the uncertainty and complexity of transactions and relationships in electronic markets. An often mentioned reason for consumers not purchasing from Internet vendors, is the lack of trust .

In peur platform there is great probability that salaries may be paid using cryptocurrency. This has given opportunities to many firms and organization to easy pay there workers, companies can specify the mode of payment, the taxes to be deducted, etc. Since smart contracts are self-executing, it will be easy to use same for payment specifications. With different salary grade levels, the smart contracts will ensure all workers (no matter their location) are paid as at when due and with the right amount. Not just this, the transaction history is stored on the blockchain which means it is always available and secure. Thus it is easy to compile payment reports, payrolls etc. Another advantage is that paying workers with fiat currencies incurs a lot of transaction fees by the banks and take a lot of time but with the Peur system all these setbacks are eliminated.
