The MapsX Ecosystem: Where Everything Is Connected

Every store on MapsX has its own unique space on the map. From a local bakery to an international digital business, all can be found by location or personalized link (mapsx.app/storename). This means each store has its own identity, smart tools, and a direct communication channel with you. Consumer psychology: When you see a business’s physical location and environment, your brain associates presence + trust. That’s why MapsX combines real maps with verified information — making your purchases feel secure, human, and close.

How to Verify a Store’s Authenticity

Security is a priority at MapsX. To know if a store is authentic, verified, and active, look for these three key elements:
a.
✅ Blue verification icon: Indicates the business was validated by MapsX through legal documents, identity verification, and activity review.
b. 🔗 Personalized link: Example: mapsx.app/my-coffee-shop This link ensures the store invested in its unique name and passed verification checks. Psychologically, stores with personalized names generate 72% more trust and customer retention.
c. 📍 Visible location on the map: Stores with active location demonstrate transparency and permanence. ⚠️ Recommendation: Before purchasing, always check these three points. If they’re met, you’re dealing with a legitimate store within the MapsX ecosystem.

Direct Purchases Without Commissions: Benefit for Buyers and Sellers

One of MapsX’s biggest advantages is that it does not charge commissions for direct purchases between client and store. This works because most transactions are done via direct WhatsApp contact. How it works:
a. Visit the store profile.
b. Review products, prices, and information published.
c. Press the “Contact via WhatsApp” button.
d. The message opens automatically with a pre-filled description (product + store link).
e. Agree on payment directly with the seller. The result: 💰 Lower prices, 🤝 More human communication, ⚡ Zero intermediary commissions. 🎯 Psychology of direct commerce: When a buyer can speak directly with the person behind the product, trust multiplies. In MapsX, direct contact eliminates distrust and turns every purchase into a relationship.

Credit Card Purchases (Authorized Stores)

Some stores have an integrated credit card payment system managed via Stripe, one of the world’s most secure platforms. These stores are identified with an instant purchase button in their profile. 💳 Credit card payment features:

• The seller receives the money directly into their account.
• MapsX does not charge sales commissions.
• Only a technical fee of up to 5% applies:

o 3% for Stripe’s official fee. o 2% for MapsX infrastructure, servers, and security costs. 🔒 Buyer protection:

• Stripe processes transactions under PCI-DSS compliance.
• Your card data never passes through MapsX servers.
• You can request a digital payment receipt directly in the system.

🧠 Digital consumer psychology: Seeing the Stripe logo, SSL lock, and clear fee terms reinforces perceived security, increasing purchase intention up to 45%.
