I haven’t read the blog but I think it’s a good start. Before that, guild was used to sell poap. But with the introduction of poap checkout, the work has become easier.

Thanks for your comments! :pray:
Yes, the idea is to make it easier for both issuers and collectors to buy and sell POAPs.

Which projects/creators do you think will benefit from Checkout?
Except for the cases mentioned in the blog post (i.e., communities, charities and creators), assuming the mass adoption of the cryptocurrencies, the POAPs with checkout can be used for IRL events, such as museums, sport stadiums, concerts, cinemas and almost everywhere the entrance tickets are needed. The attendees in such cases can pay for the POAPs as a small fraction of the payments for the event entrance tickets. POAPs can be substituted as entrance tickets for such IRL events as well (assuming the mass adoption of the cryptocurrency.)

For the time being, i.e., before the mass adoption of the cryptocurrency, the POAPs can be used as marketing tools for the above-mentioned IRL events to onboard the huge number of users to cryptocurrency as well. Since most of the attendees may not have an ETH wallet in such cases, and the current POAP checkout needs interaction with the wallet, it is good to accept fiat payments in the POAP checkout as well. For this case, a field in the POAP checkout can be implemented via which the user can provide their email address and the POAP link after the check out can be sent to the user’s email along with an introduction to install a cryptocurrency wallet. I think it is a great way for both the mass adoption of the POAP and the cryptocurrency in general.

Have you already used the tool? How was your experience?
Yes, I used it to purchase the entrance POAP for the POAP art new color palette. It was easy to use.

Where can we improve?

  1. Currently, the payment is with ETH on two networks, i.e., Ethereum and Arbitrum. It is good to accept the payments with other coins such as MATIC on Polygon as well.
  2. It is good to accept the fiat payments in the checkout, specially for the cases mentioned above.

People who do charity work can use this feature, artists can distribute poap for their loyal fans, in short it is one of the good ways to prevent farmers.
I haven’t used this feature yet, but have gotten artblock’s anniversary poap with the tip.
Promote more people to use poap

  • Which projects/creators do you think will benefit from Checkout?
    Artists, charities, content creators, fundraising, workshops, memberships.
    There have been already many great examples:
    – Crowdfunding of a book by Logicbeach
    – Raising funds after the earthquake in Turkey
    – POAP checkout used for podcast listeners by mentor.eth

  • Have you already used the tool? How was your experience?
    I’ve used the tool to purchase POAPs/support causes a few times without any issue

  • Where can we improve?
    – One thing I’d like to see is the possibility to pay on Polygon (and maybe Gnosis Chain too). Depending on market conditions the gas fee can be higher than the amount sent.
    – Adding a link to the POAP event page once the POAP is sold out, for example on this page: Rocketpool

Which projects/creators do you think will benefit from Checkout?

  • Projects/creators that wanna use POAP as tickets
  • Projects/creators that wanna use POAP as membership card
  • Projects that need fundings
    Have you already used the tool? How was your experience?
  • Yes, it works pretty smooth, and I like the option to allow L2 instead of mainnet only.
    Where can we improve?
  • To integrate a gate for POAP allowance like ueser need to own xx token in wallet or previous POAP etc… This will provide creator or project more possibility to use POAP as different rewards based on certain criteria

·Projects and creators with real ideas and execution capabilities, and their real purpose is out of emotion rather than profit, to speak out for some groups, or to contribute to a certain public welfare cause, can arouse everyone’s resonance, I hope The POAP you own has a special and extraordinary meaning, and it carries value, not price.
·I have used this tool many times and the experience is very good.
·It is hoped that there will be an independent official website, where participants can browse all ongoing events, show participation channels, and be able to choose their favorite projects more personally and give support.

it is a great opportunity for small projects that have a good team but do not have the necessary funds to advance the project, and a good use for charity projects that receive help for a specific cause or crisis.

Yes I have used it, both on Ethereum and Arbitrum network, it was an interesting experience

Diversify the payment methods so that they can be provided with the lowest fees.
My suggestion is to use https://li.fi/ service to get any kind of help on any blockchain
and converted to the target cryptocurrency.

    A new option is to get POAP.
    I think it is used for projects and platforms that have few meetings. To get money for each weekly session, it makes the project’s community unhappy. But if this happens once or twice in several months, perhaps the dissatisfaction of members of the community may be less.

  • Have you already used the tool? How was your experience?
    Certainly if the number of use is low and projects get less money to provide POAP I will be happier.

  • Where can we improve?
    It is best to pay payments on a network that gets less fee.

amazing
keep buidling

Which projects/builders do you think would benefit from Checkout?

I think this new option is used for projects and platforms that have few meetings. I think participants can pay for POAPs as a small part of the event entrance ticket payments.
Although getting paid for every weekly meeting makes the project community unhappy.
But if this happens once or twice a month, maybe the dissatisfaction of the people in the society will be reduced and the use of Poap will increase.

Have you used the tool before? How was your experience?

Yes, it was easy to use
If projects charge less to provide POAP
It will be used more

Where can we improve?

Better to pay on a network that charges less.
For example Matic or Gnosis

  • Which projects/creators do you think will benefit from Checkout?
    It’s helpful for all of our community, creators, fundraisers, artists, charities, tickets & memberships, etc. Anyone who have been used POAPs ever.

  • Have you already used the tool? How was your experience?
    Yes almost many times, for example Merge POAPArt: 5621779, Pastle POAPArt: 5925369, SamBankman: 6100294, Checkout Pre-Release Tester: 6292426, 4th POAP’s Birthday: 6435261 and more. My exprience was so smooth and positive.

  • Where can we improve?
    Everything is fine, I had just another idea and we are already working on that, so everything is great with the POAP Checkout. I love it! Thank you!

great project, I will do it

Perfect, I will do it

  • Which projects/creators do you think will benefit from Checkout?
    This tool will be useful in these cases: charity and public assistance, fundraising, donation and financial participation, online tickets (using poap as an entry to an event), selling digital artworks and etc.

  • Have you already used the tool? How was your experience?
    Yes, I’ve used it and it’s easy to use.

  • Where can we improve?
    Support other L2 networks (polygon, optimism, …) and gnosis to pay.

in short it’s a good way to avoid farmers. Provided that the money of the real users will be returned to their wallets after conducting quiz or … ( Like Zarion POAP project ) :heart_hands:

  • Which projects/creators do you think will benefit from Checkout?
    poap holders,defi power users ,community helpers ,artists
