PRIMO is an app that allows you to buy things worldwide by scanning a PRIMO Tag or clicking a PRIMO Link in Instagram/Facebook. PRIMO Tags can be embedded in a print or digital picture, video, or on an actual product. Merchants can now monetize their advertising by allowing their customers buy directly through that ad. Imagine buying an iPhone 7 through a commercial with 1 tap. Or shopping at IKEA and avoiding all the lines. The app is the POS, making the world a store. PRIMO origin story: I watched a Michael Jackson documentary in 2003, and he was shopping by pointing his finger at products, and his people handled the rest in the background. I thought 'someday I want to make something that allows everyone to shop like that' https://youtu.be/CXl0O5ViuBw

@renato_shira Thanks Renato! We feel ecommerce is very well optimized for the PC era but there hasn't been anything for built from the ground up for the smartphone era.

@abasa Great product! Will PRIMO customers be based in a particular region at the beginning or you start worldwide?

I can easily see the usecase in print or web, but how are you planning to get the industry to print those codes on a visible part of their products? Won't it interfere with their design? I would guess they'd not be so forthcoming with that?

@mediavrog With apparel perhaps, but you could always hide the tags under the end of the sleeve etc. With bottled water or milk or items like that, a PRIMO Tag could be put on the back of the product etc

Primo is attempting to solve every Instagram influencer's biggest challenge--the link ban. Primo's codes make purchasing a product a single-click decision. Cha-ching!

For those of you that downloaded the app, we have added a PRIMO Tag to scan in one of the product pictures above.

So the user has to download primo? So the merchant has to have primo integrated?

@abasa @johnnyquachy So to which group are you going to focus on first? The users or the merchants?

@ykguler @johnnyquachy We are currently focusing on the merchants. Users need stuff to buy before it makes sense for us to focus on them.

@abasa @johnnyquachy Also merchants need users to buy stuff :) paying nothing to open a new potential sales channel is more than justifiable. What's your plan for on boarding new users?

@ykguler @johnnyquachy That's right. That's why we made it free to start and run. So far merchants have been extremely receptive. At the moment, we are onboarding merchants that have a large advertising budget, and user base. We are utilizing them to gain users.

Don't Amazon have 1-click-purchasing patented? 🤔

@abasa Are you licensing it from Amazon?

@gregjwww Our system works with 1 click and the phone checks your movement to make sure you're human. It's actually 2 steps but the user only notices 1 step.

@abasa Clever, is this a valid way to avoid patent infringement? Primo's a great idea and I wouldn't want to see it squashed by Amazon's lawyers, I presume you've consulted legal advice on whether your app doesn't infringe their patent, right?

@gregjwww Thank you. Yes we have and our system is patent pending. Spent a lot of time with the lawyers on this actually.

Sounds awesome. How long does it take for a merchant to set it up? Any special skills/code required?

@liquidchickenqq It takes about 10 minutes. Just give us your company or personal information, and banking information so we can pay you. No special skills needed. I just uploaded a tutorial. https://youtu.be/yn8I28JYBLw
