Shopify Launches Blockchain Commerce Tools
A set of blockchain commerce tools has been released by crypto-friendly e-commerce giant Shopify to improve the user experience of its Web3-focused businesses hosted on the platform.
On February 9, the Shopify blockchain team designer announced the change through Twitter, stating that they've published some fresh tools to help others build tokengating applications for Shopify businesses. The "tokengating" application programming interface (API) tools and extended crypto wallet connect functionality have also been emphasized.
The latter was previously exclusively accessible to a small number of merchants and has been in early access beta access status since June 2022. With tokengating, all relevant Shopify merchants may now configure their storefronts to restrict access to certain nonfungible token (NFT) drops, bonuses, and exclusive items for certain tokenholders.
The application is advertised as a useful approach for NFT Merchants to reward particular customers or provide exclusivity to particular items. It validates user eligibility via their associated wallet. Shopify has merged with the sign-in with Ethereum (SIWE) protocol, which is run by the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and the Ethereum Foundation, to enable more crypto wallets.
By protecting private information like names, phone numbers, and home addresses from disclosure to other parties, SIWE fundamentally enables secure user sign-ins and authentication of Ethereum accounts and ENS domains.
