# Commerce Overview

BIFY Commerce provides stablecoin checkout and verifiable digital engagement for businesses that already operate their own Web2 or Web3 storefront.

The partner remains responsible for the product catalogue, price, inventory, cart, taxes, fulfilment, and customer support. BIFY provides the integration layer around the transaction.

## Commerce capabilities

| Capability    | BIFY responsibility                                           |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Checkout      | Hosted USDC payment instructions and transaction confirmation |
| Settlement    | Canonical USDC verification on Base and replay protection     |
| Digital proof | Non-transferable purchase or authenticity certificate         |
| Engagement    | Reward eligibility, access passes, voting, and signed events  |
| Integration   | BIFY SDK, browser component, API, and Developer Portal        |

## Customer transaction

```
Partner order -> BIFY checkout session -> USDC payment -> settlement
-> partner fulfilment -> certificate claim and mint -> rewards or access
```

The customer owns the physical product under the partner's commercial terms. The certificate is a verifiable digital record and reward passport. It is not the physical product, legal title, or a transferable financial asset.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bify.gitbook.io/rwa-docs/bify-commerce/commerce.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
