Product Listing and Currency Use in TokoBapak

[ronnygunawan]

Hello everyone,

As we continue to build TokoBapak, our open-source ecommerce platform, it's crucial to address some key aspects that could have legal implications. Our platform is unique because it operates with real code, real services, and real architecture, but uses mock payment and mock delivery systems. No actual transaction is happening in real world. This setup raises important questions about the nature of our product listings and the currency we use. I'd like to open a discussion on the following points:

1. Type of Products for Listing:

   • Should we list real-world products?
   • Is it preferable to list generic, no-brand real-world products to avoid brand infringement issues?
   • Can we consider listing fictional or fantasy products? This might offer creative freedom and avoid legal complications.

2. Nature of Fantasy Products (if we decided to sell it):

   • What kind of fantasy products should we consider selling?
   • Is there a need to develop a backstory or 'lore' for these fantasy products to enhance user engagement and make our platform more intriguing?

3. Currency Selection:

   • Considering our mock payment system, is it legally safe to display prices in real-world currencies like Rupiah or Dollar?
   • Should we consider creating a fictional currency exclusive to our platform?
   • Another option could be using fantasy world currencies, which could tie in well if we opt for fantasy products.

Your insights and inputs on these topics are invaluable. We need to make decisions that align with our platform's innovative approach while ensuring we stay within legal boundaries. Let's brainstorm and come up with creative and viable solutions!

Looking forward to an engaging discussion.
