ARKCommerce

ARKCommerce is a payment gateway that provides ARK crypto currency payment services for WooCommerce store operators on WordPress platform by utilising the ARK blockchain. Fully based on open source code and architecture, ARKCommerce aims to provide the necessary e-commerce infrastructure with the goal of wider market acceptance for ARK by both customers and merchants. Online merchants struggle with risk-free and timely digital product delivery via established fiat currency payment intermediaries. This makes for a particularly suitable use case for crypto currency payments that happen in a trustless, straightforward, and automated fashion.

ARKCommerce leverages the versatility of ARK blockchain that features a special field called SmartBridge which enables user input as part of the transaction, whereas 8 second block times facilitate prompt transaction confirmations. All orders placed through ARKCommerce are placed on-hold until repetitive ARK blockchain queries reveal a transaction for an appropriate amount of ARK and with a correct order reference making a deposit into the monitored ARK wallet address belonging to the store, all without requiring or storing wallet passphrases.
