Shopping at a Small Business

Walk into the Front Room

Every shop has a Front Room: a picture of the storefront you can tap around in, like walking through the door. Find shops in the marketplace under Small Businesses, or in the Shops directory.

• Shop opens the shop's categories. Search finds items by word or price.
• Glass cloches on the counter each hold a category. Tap one to see what's inside.
• The Pay Ahead piggy bank lets you add credit to spend at the counter later.
• Bigger shops have doorways or an elevator to more rooms.

Add to cart and check out

• Tap Add to Cart on any item. Each tap adds one more.
• Your carts wait in My Shopping Carts in the Control Center, one per shop.
• At checkout, pick a coin. The app shows the shop's payment address and locks the price for the shop's payment window.
• Sales tax is worked out for you from the shop's settings and the state on your profile.

Carryout, Delivery, or Ship

• Carryout: pick it up at the shop.
• Delivery: if the shop delivers, enter your address and when you want it. Pay in crypto now, or pay the driver.
• Ship: some items have a flat shipping price. For others you request a quote, and the shop sends one in Messages before you pay.

Picking up with your Pickup QR

For carryout, open your order (or My Purchases) and tap Show Pickup QR. The shop scans it and sees your items and whether your payment has confirmed. Your Pickup QR never expires, so a rescan always shows the latest status.

Digital downloads

Digital items show up in My Purchases once your payment has enough confirmations. Some items have a download limit, so tap Download once and let it finish.
