Exchange IGC for retail rewards, coupons and gift cards coming soon
ABB – Always be building!
In line with our phase 5 of our IGC (In Game Credit) project we have just initiated our “Swap exchange engine build”. This feature will enable holders and players to exchange $IGC for real discount rewards in our platform and our APPs. We have also commissioned a dashboard that will enable retailers to manage and allocate their desired rewards available to the user.
Here is a further insight into our P2E (Play to Earn) Free Crypto app project and swap engine.
Intro: IGC is a small games studio based in Australia. We run a series of 50+ play to earn games and apps from treasure hunts, puzzles and step counting applications. The concept is to create a large ecosystem powered by an In Game Credit cryptocurrency. Our games are known as “Play to Earn”.
Tech stack and skills: We work with API integrations, microsoft playfab and some turnkey wallet integration for crypto points
This Exchange feature:
We are migrating to playfab so will need to work with team on timings and processes.
We are building a “Swap EXCHANGE Engine” for our Play to earn crypto engine.
The swap engine will enable the user to swap points from our system for available retail coupons, percentage off or gift cards. This engine will be available in the APPs and also in our web based login. We will be designing pretty UI and UX however for this job we would like simple UI/UX so we can test the functionalities.
USER
User on Unity APP Collects points within APP visits “Store” which is the engine. Similar to loyalty exchange platforms can then exchange available points for available retail coupons discounts and gift cards. There is a transactional element similar to a shopping cart and then the points are deducted and then the result delivered back to the user. Security must be observed with all API and user aspects and we have purchased unity obfuscation for encryption. Advice must be given on security required on playfab side.
RETAILER
Input side self service for retailers to specify the discount, gift cards or coupons available. R and D required by dev to investigate process flows for retailers to offer then distribute the rewards to the User. Perhaps there are APIs to tap into a similar system. Otherwise we can automate a report to the retailer to distribute the coupons.
An engine where customers can swap points for a percentage discount at a retailer. IE swap points for retail coupons or gift cards.
1) It will have an input for users to enter how many IGC are to be swapped.
2) It will have an input for retailers to place what they are willing to provide as a % or as a gift card for $IGC.
3) It will have a display screen to say these are the available retailers you can select.
4) It will display in back end and in Unity
5) It will need a country filter, category filter example retail, toys,
6) Security
7) Transactional process similar to shopping cart process
8) Digital delivery to start with no shipping
9) Deduction of points when exchanged
10) Testing
11) Retail products page with description so users can see what they are exchanging for
12) Reporting especially if we need to automate the reward distribution to the retailer
13) Email notification on completed exchange, we use sendgrid.
Essentially it is similar to when you want to exchange loyalty points on your credit card for a product or coupon or gift card on loyalty programs
Users earn the reward points in the game and can swap them for discounts coupons and gift cards. Two inputs each way retailer and user with a selection process.
