Wave 6 · Market & User Validation (batch 2, V-16…V-25) — first-person, privacy-first, delivery by PR. Continues V-1…V-15.
Validates: Claim 6 — merchant-side acceptance/supply · Vertical: B (Retail)
Context
The retail vertical only works if merchants will accept it. The vision is: customer pays "in dollars," the merchant receives a stable peso (or cash via the same escrow), and the merchant can also act as a liquidity provider. We want a real merchant's-eye view.
Share your own experience (if you run, help run, or have run a small business — privacy-first)
- What kind of small business is it (general category — e.g. corner shop, food stall, pharmacy)? What payment methods do you accept today and why?
- What is the most annoying part of the payment methods you accept now (fees, settlement delay, chargebacks, terminals, cash handling)?
- Would you accept a payment where the customer pays "in dollars" and you receive pesos that settle the same day? What would worry you about it?
- Would you want to settle in a stable digital peso or in physical cash — or both? Which would be your default?
- Would you be interested in also handing out cash to customers (as a paid liquidity provider) using the same app? What commission % would feel fair for that?
