Prompt.cash, a bitcoin cash noncustodial payment processor, is adding a bunch of interesting functionalities. The payment processor now features a URL shortener that allows users to monetize content on any site on the net. Also, Prompt.cash added Paypal API integrations, making it easier for merchants to test Bitcoin Cash payments seamlessly.

Prompt.cash Adds URL Shortener Functionality

Prompt.cash, a hosted permissionless bitcoin cash (BCH)-based payment processor, is adding a slew of important updates that extend the functionality of the platform. While the platform launched just three months ago, they are already introducing new features to make its proposal more useful to its users. One of these interesting additions is a URL shortener. This will allow users to monetize access to any website. Prompt.cash can also accept any Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP) tokens minted using the Bitcoin Cash chain.

While URL shorteners are not something new, most companies providing this service are fiat-based. Prompt.cash uses a bitcoin cash address to send the received payment directly to the wallet of the user. This provides instant redemption of the funds received. It also gives the user an advantage compared to traditional service offerings. Using these fiat-based competitors, the customer needs to withdraw the funds manually after a certain amount is reached.

Paypal API Integration Allows for Seamless Migration

One of the biggest problems that incipient payment processors face is the cost of integration. Many companies that would like to test new payment processors will often pass on them. This due to the price associated with integrating them into their structure. Prompt.cash is aware of this issue and is working to minimize the friction and cost of adding bitcoin cash payments to every platform out there.

Ekliptor, the developer of Prompt.cash, stated that Paypal Rest API integration will go a long way in achieving this goal. Ekliptor stressed:

Compatibility on the API layer enables websites using Paypal to try out bitcoin cash payments without investing many resources and developer knowledge.

As a result of this work, merchants can modify any of the thousands of plugins out there to make it compatible with Prompt.cash. Consequently, just by changing a couple of things, these merchants will be able to offer bitcoin cash payments in no time.

To make things even easier for merchants, Prompt.cash features integration with many popular platforms. For this reason, static pages, WordPress, Node.js, PHP, WHCMS, and Android-based platforms can integrate Prompt.cash payments. In addition to these benefits, Prompt.cash offers examples for noncoders to understand what needs to be done and apply it to their own platforms.
