How far can MATIC climb as Polygon works with Shopping.io to integrate it for payments?

Polygon has begun working with Shopping.io as a means of integrating the MATIC cryptocurrency as a form of payment on the platform.

Polygon (MATIC/USD) is essentially a platform purpose-built to scale Ethereum (ETH/USD) and provide an infrastructure on top of which developers can create numerous decentralized applications (dApps). 

It features the Polygon SDK, which is a modular and flexible framework that powers the growth of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), where anyone can create optimistic rollup chains, ZK rollup chains, and standalone chains.

Polygon stands out due to the fact that it offers quick transactions and low fees whilst also maintaining the ability of smart contract creation, dApps and games. 

The Shopping.io integration as a catalyst for growth

In the latest Polygon news, on October 4, 2022, Shopping.io made an official announcement that they will be integrating MATIC as a form of payment on the platform.

Additionally, with this launch, they will also offer a 2% discount for the first 30 days as well as free shipping for the first 7 days with every use of the cryptocurrency.

From October 4, MATIC will be added to Shopping.io’s payment processor, known as Shopping Pay, and this will, in turn, allow holders to purchase goods through the utilization of the biggest retailers.

Some of the most well-known retailers that can be used include Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Home Depot.

This integration will offer MATIC a higher level of utility outside of its own blockchain and provide the token with another level of intrinsic value.

This means that we can expect the MATIC cryptocurrency to increase in value going forward.
