Multi-currency support
To expand the financial opportunities of the NFT marketplace, businesses might want to implement the multi-currency feature for different reasons:
Accept tokens from partners’
Increase users’ acquisition through well-established currencies
Increase platform revenue by offering a broader range of currencies to purchase NFTs with
Multi-currency can be added in different ways. The two possibilities are the following:
Multi-currency for the seller: Sellers define what currency they want to accept in this context.
Multi-currency for the buyer: In this context, buyers define what currency they want to pay with
Multi-currency on the seller side
It is the platform's owner who defines the list of currencies available to the users.
From this list, sellers choose which currency to use or accept for their sales based on their audience and financial goals.
The advantages of this solution
For the users
Sellers can choose/accept the currency of their choice
They can tailor their marketing to target specific communities and increase their revenue
Buyers have access to different sale offers to choose from
This incentivizes buyers to purchase NFTs based on their token preferences
Bidders can place open bids with the currency of their choice
This incentivizes bidders to increase their activity on the platform
For the business
Increase the reach of the platform
The platform is not limited to users who hold the native token of the platform
The platform can target specific communities/tokens (increase partnership opportunities)
Expand financial strategies
Depending on the strategy, the platform can either ensure a more stable source of income or a more risky but high reward type by implementing early crypto projects as currency
How it works
By default, the current “main currency” is selected on the platform to keep the system backward compatible.
Fixed price sale
1- When creating a fixed price sale, sellers can choose the currency of their choice to list the item on the platform.
2- Once the sale's offer is created, buyers can purchase directly the item in the same currency the seller picks.
3- When the sale is concluded, the buyer pays in the currency picked by the seller. The seller receives the chosen currency, and the platform receives the sale's fee in the currency selected by the seller.
In the context of an open bid, buyers will propose bids with the currency of their choice, and the seller will have the option to accept or not a bid. Open bids are not limited to the currency selected by the seller.
Auction sale
1- When creating an auction sale, sellers can choose the currency of their choice to list the item on the platform.
2- Once the sale's offer is created, buyers can place bids on the item with the currency the seller picks.
3- When the sale is concluded, the buyer pays in the currency picked by the seller. The seller receives the chosen currency, and the platform receives the sale's fee in the currency selected by the seller.
