Today marks a pivotal moment at ArcBlock as we proudly release Payment Kit.
Designed with developers, site masters, business owners, and product managers in mind, this payment solution is set to transform how you integrate payment processing into your applications—securely, instantly, and without any extra costs. Let’s dive into what makes Payment Kit not just different, but better.
Why Payment Kit? 💡#
Traditional payment solutions often involve intermediaries who take a cut from your transactions. Not with Payment Kit. Our solution is fully decentralized for crypto transactions, ensuring that no one takes a cut from your earnings.
The Payment Kit itself is a Blocklet that you can easily integrate with any of your other blocklets or existing apps using ArcBlock's Blocklet Server and Framework. Using Payment Kit is completely free and does not require any additional services other than the blockchain network or credit card payment processor (if you choose to accept credit card payments).
Here’s how we stand out:
- Crypto Native: Enjoy the speed of cryptocurrency transactions completed in seconds, with the added peace of mind of no chargebacks and hidden fees.
- Broad Blockchain Compatibility: Payment Kit isn’t limited to one platform; it supports multiple blockchains, including ArcBlock, EVM-compatible chains, and soon, Bitcoin lightening network.
- Accepting Credit Card payment: For those accustomed to accepting credit card, debit card or other digital payment systems, Payment Kit provides a seamless integration with Stripe.
- Flexible Billing Options: From simple one-time payments to complex subscriptions and donations, Payment Kit is equipped to handle diverse billing requirements with ease.
Diverse Use Cases Unlocked 🚀#
Payment Kit isn’t just a tool—it’s a multifaceted solution designed to cater to various needs:
- One-Time Payments: Ideal for e-commerce transactions, digital downloads, and service fees, simplifying the checkout process.
