FareXchange (FareX) is a transparent, mutually beneficial ecosystem of consumer/seller-friendly e-commerce

Consumers use a blend of cash+human currency (the level of their willing engagement and permission) to buy normally marked-down retail inventories at full retail value.
Sellers use a blend of cash+goods to buy sponsored media that is delivered to the consumer without degrading brand value, creating an efficient and symbiotic e-commerce ecosystem.
Shopify retains cash and resources that currently go to Google, Amazon, and others, who require funds through conventionally discounted goods to be spent on their full-rate, cash-only media.

farex & shopify store scenario

Eyeglass Seller “GlassWear” has their new Ray-Ban “B4” arriving and would like to quickly sell their remaining inventory of 200 pairs of Ray-Ban style “B3”, which retail at $100.

  • This Seller would normally discount the B3 item to sell faster and use the cash to exit the Shopify ecosystem by committing cash through Facebook and/or Google to promote the new, incoming “B4” style.

  • Seller submits, instead these two 100 pair to Shopify's new (“S-Change”) program and system Catalog

We suggest that FareXchange at Shopify would:

  • Enable full retail price sale of inventories with a single seller “yes” click;                  

  • Deliver a pioneering retail price-only inventory liquidation system, while growing Seller and Shopify margins on current sales, all entirely within Shopify’s ecosystem.

  • Organically create more effective marketing products and engagement, migrating seller marketing cash to Shopify at full industry-rates, growing reach & bottom lines.

  • Generate proprietary categories of bottom-line earning for all sides, including Shopify.

  • Create a transformative multi-medium currency, managed dynamically by one system.

  • Provide Shopify with full earning control from verifiably new/additional transactions.

  • Establish the first consumer preference sampling system, transparently eliciting and motivating responses to seller & externally purchased marketer questions, in minutes.

  • Enable consumers to have granular control over their experience with sellers and marketing, both in how they receive and are featured within sponsored media.

  • Foster and distinguish new seller-specific interest demographics, willingly monetized as sources of feedback, targeting, future sales and advocacy for sellers.

  •  Create the new human value currency of willingness and engagement, as each Shopify customer and item amplify mutual value,  at 3 system-enabled points in time.

  • Generate the richest consumer “reward” system in retail, generating new revenue from engagement and permissions, with no cost to Shopify to compensate members.

  • Support FareX and ongoing system growth with solid IP/patents (2000 & ongoing).


As a willingly-engaged wireless/smartphone system, FareXchange can enable favorably received Shopify daily notifications and marketing thresholds of engagement across wireless providers. It can conduct real-time consumer sampling, beyond Shopify buyers, for sellers and marketers, facilitating enhanced reach for potential partners like Facebook/Instagram, Walmart, Comcast, Spectrum, Altice, Verizon, and more.
