[Campaign Category] Category Questions

Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously funded (whether by you or others).

Past efforts were btc/eth only and vendor locked. Ours is different: a single, open-source Odoo payment provider that makes ADA native across eCommerce, POS, and Invoicing on Odoo with dual-mode (self-custody receive-only or processor) with a simple switch, Orders and books update automatically, it installs like Stripe/PayPal, ships with an Odoo App Store.

Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.

Our MVP ships an Odoo eCommerce/Pos payment provider that ADA as a native payment in Odoo eCommerce and POS. At checkout or the till, customers pay with Lace, Nami, Eternl, or Flint via a QR/link with live status. On confirmation, orders auto-mark Paid, receipts/invoices reconcile, and stock updates with no manual steps. Merchants can choose self-custody (receive-only) or connect a processor (API + webhook). Edge cases, partials, overpays, expiry/refunds are handled. An admin dashboard shows payment history, with a demo store proving it on testnet/mainnet.

Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.

Targets (first 6–9 months)

50+ merchants live (web + POS)

1,500+ payments, 50,000$/ADA + processed

≥98% payment success after QR shown

Refund/expiry ≤3% of txs

≥2,000 unique payer addresses

≥95% auto-reconciled orders (no manual fixes)

How we’ll verify (on-chain & public)

Publish an opt-in registry of payment addresses per merchant and an open dashboard showing tx count, ADA volume, median confirm time, fees, and refund tx, so anyone can independently verify results.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

We will build Cardano Payments Gateway for Odoo an open-source payment acquirer that makes _ADA _a first-class option in Odoo eCommerce and Odoo POS (with Invoicing optional). It installs like Stripe/PayPal and lets merchants choose self-custody or a processor no lock-in.

How it addresses the problem

• Native to Odoo: ADA appears alongside existing methods; orders/receipts and accounting update automatically.

• Simple checkout and in-store pay: Customers use familiar Cardano** wallets like Lace, Nami, Eternl, Flint **by clicking “Pay with ADA” or scanning a QR.

• Lower ops friction: No copy-paste or external dashboards; fewer errors and support tickets.

• Open and scalable: App Store listing, clear docs, and open-source code speed adoption.

User journeys

Odoo eCommerce

1. Admin enables “Cardano (ADA)” and sets a processor API key + webhook—or a public wallet for self-custody.
2. Buyer chooses Cardano (ADA) at checkout and pays with Lace/Nami/Eternl/Flint.
3. Payment confirms; the order is marked Paid, inventory updates, and the invoice reconciles automatically.

Odoo POS (in-store)

1. Cashier selects Cardano (ADA) as the tender.
2. POS shows a QR/payment link; the customer pays with Lace, Nami, Eternl, or Flint.
3. On confirmation, the sale closes; the receipt prints and daily totals include ADA—no manual steps.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Real-world utility at scale: Makes ADA a daily payment option inside Odoo,an ERP used by ~15M+ users with 16k+ partners—so Cardano moves to commerce across retail, services, and subscriptions.

Frictionless merchant onboarding: Odoo merchants enable ADA like Stripe/PayPal (web + POS). Non-crypto-native SMEs join Cardano without new tools or workflows.

Verifiable on-chain growth: Each order get a tx; we’ll publish an open dashboard (tx count, ADA volume, time-to-confirm, refund rates) so the community can audit adoption.

Public good, open source: Code released openly (Odoo-compatible licensing), with docs, tutorials, and packaging for the Odoo App Store easy to adopt, fork, and extend.

Ecosystem flywheel: More merchant payments increase wallet usage, create demand for Cardano stablecoins, explorers, analytics, and enable loyalty/DID receipts later, benefiting multiple Cardano projects.

Global and inclusive reach: Odoo’s on-prem and cloud footprint spans SMEs to large enterprises and government; this brings ADA to regions with high fees or limited card access.

Launch & advocacy platform: We’ll showcase at Odoo Experience and regional roadshows, educating decision-makers and directing them into the Cardano ecosystem (wallets, tooling, standards).

Reusability beyond Odoo: Patterns (CIP-13/30 UX, UTxO-aware reconciliation, webhook flows) can be copied to other ERPs/CMSs, multiplying Cardano’s real-world integrations.

[Final Pitch] Budget & Costs

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

73,000 ADA is our requested funding budget, it covers design, development, testing, a public testnet beta, documentation, events and the required Catalyst close-out deliverable.

Milestone 1 — Testnet MVP (39,000 ADA):

Senior engineering to build the feature-complete Odoo Cardano payment acquirer (eCommerce + basic POS), wallet/QR flow, webhook confirmation service, and UTxO-aware handling (partials, overpays, expiry/refunds). Includes demo instance/screencast, CI setup, and a 2–5 minute walkthrough video with a reproducible README.

Milestone 2 — Public Testnet Beta & Docs (26,000 ADA):

Refinement from community feedback, two iteration releases, public docs site (install, config, FAQs, troubleshooting), lightweight metrics page (testnet tx count, success rate, confirm times), QA passes, and coordination of ≥10 external testers completing ≥100 successful test payments across web and POS.

Milestone 3 — Close-Out Report & Video (8,000 ADA):

Preparation of the PDF Project Completion Report (results vs targets, lessons, next steps) and a 2–3 minute summary video. Repo “close-out” index linking all artifacts (code, docs, demos, metrics) and budget reconciliation.

Resource view (within the totals above):

Odoo engineering (28,000 ADA); blockchain engineering (24,000 ADA); project management & coordination (9,500 ADA); QA & beta incentives (4,500 ADA); documentation & media (3,500 ADA); infra/tooling (CI, demo hosting, domains, webhook credits) (3,000 ADA); contingency (500 ADA).

We will publish milestone-by-milestone expenditure notes with each delivery (code tag, demo links, docs, metrics) to ensure transparency and accountability to the Cardano community.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

High leverage integration: One open-source module makes ADA a first-class tender across Odoo eCommerce and POS—a platform with millions of users. A single build unlocks many merchants and verticals, multiplying ecosystem impact.

Public good, reusable code: Delivered under open licenses with docs, tests, and demo flows. Other teams can fork the Cardano payment + webhook patterns (CIP-13 now, CIP-30 next) for different ERPs/CMSs—compounding value beyond this project.

Measured, auditable outcomes: Testnet-only scope keeps costs lean while proving feasibility. Success is tied to verifiable metrics (completed testnet payments, confirm times, refund rates) and milestone-gated deliverables (repo tags, videos, reports).

Real adoption path, low lock-in: Self-custody by default and optional processor mode reduce barriers and long-term vendor costs for merchants, aligning with Cardano’s decentralization ethos and encouraging sustained use of ADA.

Efficient use of funds: Budget focuses on engineering, QA, docs, and a public no spend on production distribution. If just 50 merchants eventually activate from this foundation, the effective cost per merchant enabled is modest relative to traditional gateway integrations.

Ecosystem flywheel: Merchant payments drive wallet activity, analytics, and future add-ons (stablecoins, loyalty, DID receipts). The project seeds real-world utility that others in the Cardano stack can build on, maximizing the network’s ROI.
