Our goal is for Shping Coin to evolve into a new token of exchange that brands, retailers, certification bodies and associated authorities can use to incentivize shoppers to contribute, monitor and engage with information about their products. By enabling businesses to reward shoppers to make smarter and safer shopping choices, we aim to make Shping Coin a highly accessible cryptocurrency.

What is Shping?

Shping is an innovative, shopper-marketing ecosystem that enables participating brands and organisations the opportunity to reward shoppers who use the Shping App with a new cryptocurrency called Shping Coin.

By scanning product barcodes with the App, shoppers can reveal useful information, contribute product reviews, or activate actions set by brands to unlock more Shping Coins. For businesses, Shping offers a new way to market to shoppers at the critical point of purchase while enabling brands to gather analytics to help inform their strategic decisions.


Making shopping a smarter, safer and more rewarding experience for all.

How will Shping Coin Work?

The Shping Ecosystem is built on product information provided by a scalable number of trusted and verified data sources. This include data from participating brands, and a growing list of strategic partners including GS1 local members, certification and government authorities, product recall portals, and Everledger who have created a global, digital ledger that tracks, protects and stores the provenance of diamonds and valuable assets. Along with crowdsourced data (from Shping App users), the data is collected from these sources into a continuously updated, distributed product database; at over 30 million products and growing, it is on the way to becoming the biggest in the world.

The Shping App

Shping makes shopping smarter - and rewards you just for using it.

Available now on the App Store and Google Play

Blockchain Integration

The Shping Platform is powered by Ethereum smart contracts and manages product traceability on the back of hyperledger and GS1 EPCIS standards. Shping will be partnering with Everledger to create a private blockchain based on the Hyperledger Fabric to play the role of a register for EPCIS events. The integration with Everledger is a work in progress.

This allows information such as the serialization of products, item movements through the supply chain, and sales and product recall alerts to be exchanged quickly and securely. All brands, distributors and retailers can become a member of this network, start their nodes and use the EPC Codechain. Shping’s blockchain integration agent will provide blockchain information to consumers and third parties via EPCIS SOAP service.

Fast Facts: The Shping Coin Economy

• Businesses who wish to use the Shping Platform to market to shoppers at the point of purchase must have a positive balance of Shping Coins to activate their campaigns.
• The Token Sale therefore represents a good opportunity for businesses and individuals to purchase Shping Coins at an introductory rate.
• This will be the only time that Shping will release Shping Coins for purchase.
• There will be no more tokens generated outside of the initial distribution.
• USA, China and New Zealand residents are excluded from purchasing Shping Coins during the Shping Token Sale.
• Once the Token Sale has concluded, any interested party including brands, retailers and other users of the Shping platform may be able to acquire Shping Coins through accepting cryptocurrency exchanges (to be announced in early 2018).
• Buyers who purchase Shping Coins during the Token Sale will receive their tokens as soon as the transaction has been completed.

Shping Development Roadmap

Shping’s application development roadmap is as follows:

Shping Roadmap - Milestones of Funding

Shping to Disrupt the $28 Trillion Global Shopping Industry with Crypto-Reward Marketing Platform
via Coinspeaker

Commencing January 2018, for one time only, Shping will release five billion Shping Coins to the public as part of its Token Sale – an opportunity for brands and crypto-enthusiasts to purchase Shping Coin at the introductory price of USD $0.01.

Shping Coin will be the first cryptocurrency designed specifically for brands, retailers and certification bodies to use to reward consumers directly for their attention, engagement and loyalty –  a new model for paid marketing.

“Over USD $80 billion was spent on digital advertising in 2017 by brands attempting to get messages out across to online consumers. Considering that almost 90 percent of consumer spending still sits with physical stores, we see an enormous market and demand for Shping Coin” said Shping Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Gennady Volchek.

“Shping does for mobile and shopper marketing, what Google and Facebook does for online pay-for-performance advertising,” said Volchek.

“The one key difference being that our model sees brands paying consumers directly for their engagement – not the middleman.”

Shping’s “audience-earns” advertising model opens up a new level of agency, transparency and co-operative interaction between brands, retailers and consumers to allow for closer bonds and the valuable share of information.

Looks great guys! Registered and following your project.
Being a newbie to the crypto world, can you tell me what the benefits are of rewarding users in crypto, rather than just regular $ like most rewards programmes around?

[Shping Coin]

Great project , congrats to all devs, and I hope this project will make it to the top. Let's spread this to every one and let us support so we can make this go along way, good luck.

Thanks for the support! 

It's been a lot of work to bring such a deep solution to market, but we think it'll be worth all the sweat!

If you'd like to register for our bounty program, we would certainly love to reward people advocating for our success https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2707693

Interesting project! I already downloaded your Android app. This is good sign that you already have an app and this means you believe in your project and you already invested some money by yourself.
I can imagine people scanning barcodes in the store to check reviews before they decide to buy or not. When I'm buying more expensive things like headphones or TV I check reviews on Amazon or similar website, but imagine there's new brand of chocolate and you don't know if it's good or not, simply scan the barcode and see if other people liked it or not. I will definitely use your app.

I have only one concern, if brands will be able to reward customers with Shping coins for good reviews, I am afraid that reviews will not be sincere, because people will try to get more coins and they will write biased reviews.

This is a fantastic question. Thanks for asking - we have a few reasons for this.

As a cryptocurrency, Shping Coin can be used globally, enabling businesses to reward consumers directly for their engagement with messages instead of the traditional way of paying advertising middlemen. This will add an exciting new dimension to shopper marketing and we’re very excited by the potential.

Therefore, firstly, a revolutionary platform needs a revolutionary model to back it. Shping Coins are linked to our smart contract enabling our technology to validate that brands and other awarding parties have a sufficient amount of Shping Coins when they set up their campaigns to reward shoppers using the Shping App. This keeps the system self regulated.

The other reason is that the platform is global and so it stands to reason that we need a global reward token rather than facilitating local fiat transactions, which is administratively problematic. Imagine all those foreign exchange fees that need to be processed for all the microtransactions happening at once!

Hope that helps!

Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate the vision of what we're trying to bring to market. While its still in Beta now, we think Shping will be extremely useful in the future, and we have some fantastic ideas in our roadmap to make it even better.

RE: Biased reviews - you raise a very important concern which we have thought about in great detail. To allay your concerns, we actually encourage both positive and negative reviews. After all, we're about making shopping smarter, safer and more rewarding for everyone  

We believe positive and negative feedback are equally useful for participating product brands as it will be able to alert brands to the issues consumers are most excited or concerned about, and give them cause to address or promote these aspects Simultaneously, if a product is not living up to its promise, and enough honest people are independently identifying the same issues, then it stands to reason that other shoppers SHOULD be able to see these opinions to help them to make better choices.

I hope that helps!

Hi! The idea is interesting but how does it work and how does blockchain implemented?
Do you plan to have database for the all goods in the world? )
Who will support and update this database?

Do you plan to put all this data to blockchain?

Or you have centralized database of goods and blockchain is used only for token TXs to rewards users and to track their activity?

Thanks for the questions. See answers below.


The idea is interesting but how does it work and how does blockchain implemented?

The Shping Platform is powered by Ethereum smart contracts, and manages product traceability on the back of hyperledger and GS1 standards. Shping combines the GS1 EPCIS standards (https://www.gs1.org/epcis) with powerful blockchain technology. Shping has also partnered with Everledger to help create a private blockchain based on the Hyperledger Fabric (https://www.hyperledger.org) to play the role of a register for EPCIS events, allowing information to be exchanged quickly and securely such as the serialization of products, items movement through the supply chain, sales, and product recall alerts. All brands, distributors and retailers can become a member of this network, start their nodes and use EPC Codechain.
Shping’s blockchain integration agent will provide blockchain information to consumers and third parties via EPCIS SOAP service.

Do you plan to have database for the all goods in the world?
We really hope we reach that point, but we are also realistic about the challenges ahead - while most products you see in a supermarket for instance would use industry standards, there are many products that do not. Our partnership with GS1 (the organisation responsible for issuing serialisation standards and product barcodes around the world) will enable access to data to the majority of products.  We will also reward users who find and enter the details of products that are not on the database, ensuring that it's constantly growing. At this stage, we have over 30 million products on our database.

Who will support and update this database?
Shping has a number of partner, client and crowdsourced data sources that feed into its Global Product Database. This comes from GS1 local members (as mentioned), partners (e.g Everledger - for diamonds and high value assets on their ledger) certification authorities (e.g Australian Certified Organic, Asure Quality), data from product recall portals around the globe (e.g OECD), government data (e.g World Customs Organization), data from brands (e.g marketing material) and their supply chain (e.g provenance info, chain of ownership data, shipping and consignment details, raw materials handling), and finally - from the users themselves who can contribute information like reviews, amendments and survey information to help improve the information. Shping has a dedicated team around the world to validate data supplied by crowdsource.
 
We cover this detail in our Whitepaper if you're interested to read more, see Pages 22-27 https://tokensale.shping.com/assets/shping_coin_whitepaper.pdf

Do you plan to put all this data to blockchain? Or you have centralized database of goods and blockchain is used only for token TXs to rewards users and to track their activity?
Please see answers to your first question. To add to this, while our mission is to provide smarter, safer and more rewarding shopping experiences for all, we are respectful of partners and clients who do not wish to have sensitive information posted onto public blockchains. This is why we're operating both a private and public blockchain to offer some flexibility.

Hope that helps!

Back to Brick and Mortar – How Blockchain is Transforming the Retail Industry:
https://bitcoingarden.org/back-brick-mortar-blockchain-transforming-retail-industry/

Over the past decade, we have witnessed a huge boom in the popularity of ecommerce shopping. Almost everything you could ever think of can now be purchased online.

Despite reports that retail is dying, statistics have shown that this may not actually be the case at all. In fact, retail could be on the cusp of making its comeback. While 51% of Americans prefer to shop online, 49% still prefer the experience of shopping in store.

Many people have speculated that ecommerce will replace retail. However, there are multiple reasons why it’s unlikely to ever even come close. While ecommerce has completely revolutionized the way we shop and made it easier than ever before, it has also removed a significant amount of magic from the process....

Post any questions you have below and we'll make sure Gennady sees them during the live feed

[odango999]

A wonderful project
However, the necessary documents for KYC are insufficient. So bad

[DBerendey]

Interesting idea, but why so small amount of people are involved? Pre-sale starts soon and not so much people commented or told about project, no news on big resources.. and also too much people in twitter subscribed (on other channels - there's less than 100). Very strange..

[pinoyiloco]

project is good, but in I can't see the team involve in your website, project/product details is hard to find..there are few number of people talking about this project..marketing is very important. how can you attract investors if you only have few details and supporters..
