Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!
haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 day agoThat is a very good point! Thank you! I figured someone would find a constructive way to argue why something might be better than something else and you are that person. This would kind of speak to the idea of crypto which I dont really like on first sight but it would at least give the ability to audit, right?

Crypto doesn’t really solve any of the problems that a payment processor wouldn’t also solve, unfortunately.

yeah, thats right as well. and at least to my knowledge it would not be better to the environment either. one thing at a time. federated payment is for next week. :)
I would probably just use stripe and charge the customer and spread the money to the company in question. this is what you do as a normal business as well btw. You probably need to make your terms and the shop so that customer and the law knows that you are just a storefront for others as well as your own product. but aside from that I dont see a huge issue there.
