Limited Acceptance Leaves Value on the Table

When discounts or payment options aren’t accepted, value is lost and trust suffers. With more ways to pay than ever, many checkouts can’t keep up – leading to missed savings and abandoned baskets.

Customers want every offer and payment type to work, every time.

Transparency and Traceability with Hedera Hashgraph

SKUx uses Hedera’s distributed ledger technology to transparently record and maintain secure payments. Its open-source, leaderless, proof-of-stake network creates a trusted, permanent record of every SKUx-powered transaction.

This brings the power of distributed ledger technology into real-world use – tracking and validating item-level payments across retail, CPG, and government-backed programs. It helps reduce fraud and improves visibility across the payment chain. As sectors like healthcare, public benefits and digital incentives evolve, having a clear, reliable record of each transaction is more important than ever.
