CopPay Unlocks Cryptocurrency for Consumers & Merchants Worldwide

Everyone from hairdressers to hardware manufacturers can now accept blockchain-based money — free from transaction fees

Payment system CopPay, will soon make Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies available for everyone to use; allowing both consumers and merchants to freely exchange them in bricks-and-mortar retail stores and established e-commerce locations globally.

CopPay’s entire solution is powered by the Ethereum blockchain technology; an open-source way of creating a secure distributed ledger of transactions. The technology also provides additional functionality — such as publicly auditable ‘smart contracts’; electronic commerce protocols which developers can use to create programs.

CopPay's goal is to have millions of our own virtual terminals functioning around the world both in on and offline stores.

Virtual Terminal

Underpinning the payment system is CopPay’s multi cryptocurrency ‘virtual terminal’: an easy-to-install software that can accept any currently listed cryptocurrency, and also exchange it for FIAT currencies: in real time, without transaction fees.

These terminals can be used online or uploaded onto any device (PC, tablet, mobile phone or Point-of-Sale terminal) or incorporated into any website. No specialist knowledge required. The merchant just needs to download software from the CopPay cloud storage.

Payments can be made directly from the client to the merchant’s cryptocurrency wallet and are received within minutes (depending on the cryptocurrency used in the transaction). If merchants choose to receive FIAT money into their bank accounts, they can — without the worry of rate fluctuation — simply by using the terminal’s built-in exchange mode which converts it into cash and deposits the money into the merchant’s bank account.

"CopPay’s goal is to have millions of our own virtual terminals functioning around the world both in on and offline stores," says CopPay co-founder, Vladimir Serzhanovich. “We plan to install them free of charge so that businesses can easily enter the world of cryptocurrency. This way, merchants will be able to accept and exchange cryptocurrency for FIAT money, consumers will also be able to pay for goods and services.”

There are already a number of CopPay terminals functioning across the globe, including machines action in both Belarus and Chile. In the coming weeks business owners from Germany, Mexico, and Lithuania will also join the CopPay community.

Initial Coin Offering

The company is launching an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on Oct. 30, in order to raise the finance needed to continue its global expansion, and offer anyone the opportunity to invest in the platform.

CopPay plans to publicly release 1,250,200,000 units of its own cryptocurrency — COP tokens — to investors during the ICO. At the time of release, 1 ETH will be worth 19,000 COP tokens.

Eventually, CopPay’s ambition is to build its own blockchain, allowing COP tokens to be used as the primary transactional unit. Tokens that are not sold during the ICO will be frozen until the CopPay blockchain is active. More detailed information about CopPay’s platform and how it works can be found in the company’s ICO white paper.

“The more cryptocurrency that is used as a means of payment, the more viable CopPay becomes. By deploying CopPay as a global payment network, we’re ready for an exponential growth in the use of cryptocurrencies,” said Serzhanovich.

CopPay’s ICO will take place between Oct. 30 and Nov. 30. Interested parties can register to take part on the CopPay website.
