What type of payment option is using for doing shopping online? Credit cards? Yes. Almost majority of the online purchases are done using credit cards only. Even though it is convenient and easy to use, there are some drawbacks of using your credit cards which are given below.

  • If you don't pay your credit card bills on time, then the interest amount will get added to your balance. Till you clear the balance, the interest charges will be added to the main balance every month.
  • Many merchants will charge a transaction fee for payments using a credit card. So, you need to pay that extra amount every time you are using your credit card.
  • You need to be very careful while providing your card details on new or unpopular shopping websites as there is a possibility of hacking or stealing of your card details like card number, expiry, and CVV.
  • For merchants as well as consumers, credit card payments impose high commission fees in the range of 5 to 15.

Why don't we find an alternative to the credit card payments? How about using cryptocurrencies for making your online purchases or shopping at a local store? Sounds an interesting option? Yes. That's the main objective of the PumaPay protocol.

To facilitate the use of cryptocurrencies for making your everyday payments, there needs to be a system which can accept different types of transactions on a regular basis. What does it mean? Let us take examples of the most common transactions that are handled by the customers.

  • Definitely, you would have a high-speed internet connection at your home and you will be paying a fixed amount for that service provider every month. This is an example of recurring payment but with a fixed amount.
  • Let's assume that you are too tired to prepare dinner at your home and place an order for Pizza. This type of transaction is a one-time payment.

PumaPay not only provides an option for the above two types of payments but also offers a lot of payment options that are given below.

  • Shared payment
  • Restricted payment
  • Pay per use payment
  • Money back

PumaPay is a real deal. I was just wondering when a blockchain based project will hit the crypto market, and I can see this is a perfect time for them to launch it. Going on the changes that our generation already tasted, the era of online payments will represent a huge segment for people for the next years. I can predict that real paper money will no longer be in the near future, and the virtual coins will replace it step by step. As long as our credit cards are controlled by banks, the fees and the rules can always change, but on a blockchain network, PumaPay will gain the trust on the users and investors as well. Good project, promising roadmap.

It looks like is going to be a good project both for the businesses and for the customers. Being made on the blockchain I suppose it will be easier and safer to use than any credidcard.

There are many successful technologies and a natural evolution that will change our lives forever. As I see cryptocurrency sector brings us a lot of innovative projects.

About the traditional credit cards that we all use now, there are plenty scenarios about how it could go wrong, from blocked amount of money due the errors that can appear when paying to stealing the personal data by hackers. Cryptocurrencies are a good alternative and a promising solution for our online payments and not only. I think PumaPay will go huge in crypto world. With it, you can pay fast and secure, and that's all we are looking for. Good luck with all!

I like the proiects which try to bring alternatives to credit cards. I think they can grow a lot.

All modern people in most cases use an outdated card system to pay for purchases and goods on the Internet.
But as we all know, these types of payments in the modern world can be called obsolete. They have their shortcomings, which they do not have a better reputation (for example, high commissions)
At the moment, estt an excellent alternative, which offers an innovative solution, this is PumaPay.
They provide you with a number of functions that greatly facilitate and speed up your payments.
The PumaPay protocol is a decentralized system that took for its work only the best qualities of bank and card payments. Another advantage is that it has an open protocol that allows you to be polished and improved by any business suppliers. They also have a PMA token based on the etherium.
In my opinion PumaPay introduces revolutionary changes in Internet payments.
Thank you

This is an interesting project. I wanted to show some interest on the project because it will have its own blockchain and i respect that. But there is no whitepaper or any listing on ico rating websites.
Without both, it can't have any success.

The whitepaper will be released very soon, listing on ico rating websites also.

I agree sounds cool.
