Paywithsteem : Official Launch! Let's Start the Frenzy
We are excited to share with you our latest initiative that we have launched for the Steemit Community. The entire exercise is partly communal in nature besides being an e-commerce hub.

hell yeah man the new GIF feature on the Chrome Extenion called 'Steemit Extra Info
Does this only work with the advanced 79 dollar shopify plan? @paywithsteem @adept
When your favorite blockchain has a dedicated stable token for merchants called SBD, but people still want to pay with STEEM
They accept SBD too ;)
besides SBD has not proven very stable and long term it has no future....when the Dollar collapses what's its purpose? isn't the purpose of crytocurrencies to replace fiat?
They can change the 'SBD-peg' to the USD to whatever the witnesses agree on!
The good part is that when paying with SBD, their SBD price/rate is
1 SBD = $1 USD. This helps reinforce the peg between Steem Dollars and dollars, and hopefully if others do the same the peg can be even stronger (right now it's really weak).implying SBD was ever stable :)
exactly SBD moves up and down just as much as Steem in price no one really considers trading that 1 SBD should be equal to $1
Saying that it moves just as much is actually quite inaccurate. While SBDs don't remain pegged at 1USD at all times, this is still a value they tend to and go back to often enough as the way they are distributed is a market force pushing them in that direction.
Notice the huge difference between the charts. Notice not just the different behavior, but also the difference in the scale. Steem has moved through much larger ranges of values than SBD. It's crystal clear that SBD is much more stable despite the fact that it is not directly pinned to the USD.
The charts look very different, don't they?

Nice! Good luck with the deliveries haha
Interesting directions we are going in! Glad to see practical uses arising!
This is great news for the platform. I noticed that you have $ at the prices.
Yes this is deliberate as the price of steem and SBD constantly fluctuate (We tell you how much STEEM or SBD to send once you checkout)
Ok. Best of luck with your project . :)
Great Shop design and really usefull items thumbs up!!!
so will people be able to set up their own stores?
This is awesome. I see online courses. If I could set up a store, steemain could pay via steem and receive activation keys that then bypass my own payment system.
I am now following @paywithsteem. Looking forward to the launch and what this could bring
@paulag, for now we have entered the first phase. As the days come, we will be rolling out more and more stages. And yes, we have ideas to your questions and many more plans that is waiting to come to fruition. :)
so it will become some sort of Ebay? great! exactly what Steem needs.
@lavater, YES! It will be easier for the Steemit Community to access and pay directly. Instead of the hassle of withdrawing or converting them. And, as we roll out more stuff, all these things that we're doing, it's gonna benefit the Steemit Community as well. So, we're open to ideas on what items you want to see on @paywithsteem so we can help make it available for you
What I'd like to see is Users being able to create their own listings on the site. Maybe even auctions. Just like Ebay. SteemBay ;)
I guess PaywithSteem for the moment is something else,more of a regular online store like Overstock. A good first step nonetheless ;)
Yeaps, we will take this into consideration. Thank you for ur ideas. This is why Steemit is great :)
I was just thinking this myself! I make hand crocheted scarves and blankets etc and would love to be able to sell them for steem! :D
And we are searching for people like you. :) For now, I hope u enjoy ur time at our site.
Brilliant! :D I am excited about this! Following you now and waiting in anticipation of news! thank you!
Also, we're open to ideas on what items you want to see on www.paywithsteem.com so we can help make it available for you.
Obviously it may have to be items or services that can be offered internationally, as the steemit community is borderless which is amazing in itself, however we have to abide by the common laws for shipping regulations etc
Yeaps! It is definitely on our plans to make it happen. We will do it one at a time. :)
Hmn...handmade ...sought after stuff.
Yes, I usually sell them at events and donate the profits to charity but I have had so many people ask me for commissioned pieces and ask if I have an Etsy shop or sell on Ebay, but the fee's are too high with ebay and paypal, Etsy has potential, but I like the idea of selling my items for Steem to help build my blog profile :) It is hard to build up your SP as a minnow
That is part of our purpose when we feature your work...we aim to provide the artist with the exposure they deserve.
Steem Inc. announced at SteemFest that there are very concrete plans to authorize new user tokens which will allow Steem accounts to be integrated anywhere online.
So soon you will be able to launch let's say your own WordPress based website, complete with Woocommerce store, and let users pay with their wallet.
And of course also upvote, and thus reward, your content
This is exciting news! :D As you know, I am not very tech savvy, but with a bit of guidance, I will defo be trying this out to grow my little business!
There will most definitely be WordPress plugins to integrate that. There is already an active Steem/WP developer btw. @recrypto has two plugins for WordPress already.
And it won't be long eithe before we see market places, very much like Etsy, operating on the Steem blockchain.
That is fantastic! Thank you for the developer details I shall follow them too and start looking into it. I didn't really get on with WordPress, I much prefer steemit
You will catch the wave and ride it like a boss.
This is truly amazing. Your site is the first that commercializes steem. It will be exciting to see you expand and grow. People being able to buy stuff with STEEM.
We all hope you become as big as Amazon.
Your site (app) can bring some huge value to the steem blockchain and, hene, to STEEM.
We dont see this as our project. This is our community's project. Thx for supporting us.
Hopefully users will be able to sell too. Success of ecommerce site mostly comes down to choice ( number of products on the site). Allowing every one to set up a shop will increase your chances of success a lot. I would love to see an integration of paywithsteem with steem accounts so that steemians can log in to your site with their steem account and start selling products. Steem also have an escrow feature that you might be interested in. All the tools are there to build a badass marketplace :-)
Your suggestion is a very sensible and almost inevitable progression in this industry. We will be improving our reach and spread gradually. Thanks for being onboard.
Now this is what I'm talking about! I've always pushed for greater integration between the Steemit and other services utilizing the blockchain, and this kind of merchant site is exactly what we need. If people can purchase through an eBay-like interface, I think people will be even more likely to switch over to Steemit from other social media interfaces. After all, Steem becomes a one stop shop. Earn for blogging, use your blogging rewards to buy things you need.
thanks for such a compliment. We are not sure if we are deserving but we do try to integrate the use of cryptocurrency and subsequently even automate the entire ecommerce transaction.
That's what I'm talking about. The real trick to sustaining growth and building a solid foundation for any crypto is, of course, adoption. It's not enough to speculate; a token has to actually have some compelling reason to be held and used. Providing a use case through e-commerce is a fantastic way to do that, and if you could establish a marketplace here for us to use, that would go a long way to that. If you can get up and running and allow people to auction or sell for themselves, you would see a huge well-spring of involvement. :D
