This proposal aims to create a Payment Gateway Plugin for Merchants on WooCommerce to accept SmartCash. BuiltWith reports that in January 2019, a total of 2,906,789 websites use WooCommerce. The integration will help to bring the network effects of WooCommerce merchants and customers to SMARTCash.
The current 2019 market share for WooCommerce is 22% of the top 1 million sites using eCommerce technologies.
As we can see from this link https://imgur.com/a/utlEtf2, WooCommerce leads as the most popular choice among the top eCommerce sites, ahead of both Magento and Shopify.
Already there are a lot of payment gateway plugins available for cryptocurrencies. But most of those Plugins simply display Merchant’s wallet Public addresses to transact a payment which makes it difficult for the Merchants to uniquely identify different transactions.
Therefore we are creating a completely decentralized way for Merchants on WooCommerce to accept SmartCash on a newly generated unused address for each transaction with the help of Master Extended Public Key(xPub).
