### WE ADVISE USING NOSTR MARKET, BUT HAVE LEFT THIS EXTENSION HERE IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO CONTRIBUTE.

> This was originally built to be a nostr market as well, although now that turned into this extension. The below has been kept for historcial context, but is irrelvant for this extension.

## Nostr Diagon Alley protocol (for resilient marketplaces)

`authur: Ben Arc`

#### Original protocol https://github.com/lnbits/Diagon-Alley

> The concepts around resilience in Diagon Alley helped influence the creation of the NOSTR protocol, now we get to build Diagon Alley on NOSTR!

In Diagon Alley, `merchant` and `customer` communicate via NOSTR relays, so loss of money, product information, and reputation become far less likely if attacked.

A `merchant` and `customer` both have a NOSTR key-pair that are used to sign notes and subscribe to events.

#### For further information about NOSTR, see https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr

## Terms

* `merchant` - seller of products with NOSTR key-pair
* `customer` - buyer of products with NOSTR key-pair
* `product` - item for sale by the `merchant`
* `stall` - list of products controlled by `merchant` (a `merchant` can have multiple stalls)
* `marketplace` - clientside software for searching `stalls` and purchasing `products`

## Diagon Alley Clients

### Merchant admin

Where the `merchant` creates, updates and deletes `stalls` and `products`, as well as where they manage sales, payments and communication with `customers`.

The `merchant` admin software can be purely clientside, but for `convenience` and uptime, implementations will likely have a server listening for NOSTR events.

### Marketplace

`Marketplace` software should be entirely clientside, either as a stand-alone app, or as a purely frontend webpage. A `customer` subscribes to different merchant NOSTR public keys, and those `merchants` `stalls` and `products` become listed and searchable. The marketplace client is like any other ecommerce site, with basket and checkout. `Marketplaces` may also wish to include a `customer` support area for direct message communication with `merchants`.

## `Merchant` publishing/updating products (event)

NIP-01 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md uses the basic NOSTR event type.

The `merchant` event that publishes and updates product lists

The below json goes in `content` of NIP-01.

Data from newer events should replace data from older events.

`action` types (used to indicate changes):
* `update` element has changed
* `delete` element should be deleted
* `suspend` element is suspended
* `unsuspend` element is unsuspended

```
{
"name": ,
"description": ,
"currency": ,
"action": ,
"shipping": [
{
"id": ,
"zones": ,
"price": ,
},
{
"id": ,
"zones": ,
"price": ,
},
{
"id": ,
"zones": ,
"price": ,
}
],
"stalls": [
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"description": ,
"categories": ,
"shipping": ,
"action": ,
"products": [
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"description": ,
"categories": ,
"amount": ,
"price": ,
"images": [
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"link":
}
],
"action": ,
},
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"description": ,
"categories": ,
"amount": ,
"price": ,
"images": [
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"link":
},
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"link":
}
],
"action": ,
},
]
},
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"description": ,
"categories": ,
"shipping": ,
"action": ,
"products": [
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"categories": ,
"amount": ,
"price": ,
"images": [
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"link":
}
],
"action": ,
}
]
}
]
}

```

As all elements are optional, an `update` `action` to a `product` `image`, may look as simple as:

```
{
"stalls": [
{
"id": ,
"products": [
{
"id": ,
"images": [
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"link":
}
],
"action": ,
},
]
}
]
}

```

## Checkout events

NIP-04 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md, all checkout events are encrypted

The below json goes in `content` of NIP-04.

### Step 1: `customer` order (event)

```
{
"id": ,
"name": ,
"description": ,
"address": ,
"message": ,
"contact": [
"nostr": ,
"phone": ,
"email":
],
"items": [
{
"id": ,
"quantity": ,
"message":
},
{
"id": ,
"quantity": ,
"message":
},
{
"id": ,
"quantity": ,
"message":
}

}

```

Merchant should verify the sum of product ids + timestamp.

### Step 2: `merchant` request payment (event)

Sent back from the merchant for payment. Any payment option is valid that the merchant can check.

The below json goes in `content` of NIP-04.

`payment_options`/`type` include:
* `url` URL to a payment page, stripe, paypal, btcpayserver, etc
* `btc` onchain bitcoin address
* `ln` bitcoin lightning invoice
* `lnurl` bitcoin lnurl-pay

```
{
"id": ,
"message": ,
"payment_options": [
{
"type": ,
"link":
},
{
"type": ,
"link":
},
{
"type": ,
"link":
}
}

```

### Step 3: `merchant` verify payment/shipped (event)

Once payment has been received and processed.

The below json goes in `content` of NIP-04.

```
{
"id": ,
"message": ,
"paid": ,
"shipped": ,
}

```

## Customer support events

Customer support is handle over whatever communication method was specified. If communicationg via nostr, NIP-04 is used https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md.
