DESCRIPTION + +Under the name 'Taler merchant' there are two main objectives: one is to +implement a common helper (called 'backend') for all the existing merchants +willing to integrate Taler in their existing online shops, whereas the other +objective is implementing some demonstrator shops which use that backend. + +2. INNOVATIVE ASPECTS + +This component allows merchants to receive payments without invading the +customers' privacy. Of course, this applies mostly for digital goods, as the +merchant does not need to know the customer's physical address. + +3. PLANNING/PERSPECTIVES + +Since the main component's part is the backend, and it is supposed to work with +preexisting shops, a massive backend's testing with existing shop portals should +be accomplished. + + +4.
