Proposal description
I have heard a lot of requests to keep working on something for vendor adoption. Well, now that there are some open budget funds, I would rather get started on the first building block.
One of the ideas with the Vendor Experience was to create a wifi portal to order products. A web portal is a device that you can connect to with a wifi device(a phone for example). When you connect to the portal it forces you to go to a single webpage. Technically, this is called a Captive Web Portal. This is the webpage we will use for ordering.
The web portal will run on a single board computer for our testing. I have picked an Odroid-XU4. I envision this as the first step to the final product which is being able to pay with Dash via the wifi portal at a retail store or even a vending machine directly with a mobile phone.
I have negotiated with a web developer that has a good track record of making websites to help create a website for this project. I expect this to look like a professional ordering website tailored to mobile phone ordering.
The funds will be used for:
The result and what will be delivered to the community is:
This project completes the first building block. The next phases will implement paying with Dash and interfacing with the mobile wallets to send payments. The final goal will be to use in a retail store with phone UPC scanning and checkout via the Dash Fast Lane.

The funds will be used for:
- Odroid-XU4, antenna, relay board(future projects), and shifter board to convert the Odroid-XU4 outputs to be relay compatible.
- Paying for web design services
- Engineering required to put all this together.
The result and what will be delivered to the community is:
- Step by step guide to build the portal
- Website and it's content
- An overview of what it does and how it works
