The company’s Web3 Micro Merchant Payment solution allows customers to conduct payments with their mobile devices by scanning a QR code generated for the merchant. In essence, whenever a customer makes a purchase online or in-store, the Reltime Micro Merchant connects the seller to the buyer without having to rely on intermediaries. Customers can use the Reltime app or Open APIs to execute payments in a convenient and secure way.
According to the official press release, this type of payment is gaining popularity at a rapid pace, as it provides merchants with a faster and more secure way to process payments while customers don’t have to worry about carrying cash or credit cards.
Transaction security is ensured by a unique Identity that is generated in the Web3 technology and secured end--to end by a blockchain. Reltime does not charge any transaction fee to its B2B2C customers, and the platform will offer support for more than 170 countries and all major global fiat currencies.
Reltime officials cited by prnewswire.com revealed that Reltime is offering this platform as a fully white-label solution and as Open API to its B2B2C customers. Clients can use the platform to improve, globalise, and modernise their ecommerce solutions.
