Supporting Small Businesses Through Pi Commerce

During the holiday season, large retailers often attract shoppers with discounts and promotions. Pi Network is now giving small businesses and local Pi merchants the opportunity to do the same.

Through this initiative, Pi Network provides visibility and coordination, while individual merchants and app developers manage their own promotions, sales, and deliveries. The goal is to strengthen Mainnet commerce and expand real-world Pi usage.

Pioneers are encouraged to shop both online and in person using Pi, helping grow the ecosystem while enjoying holiday deals.

How Pi App Developers and Merchants Can Participate

Pi app developers and local merchants can join the initiative by taking the following steps:

• Create and manage holiday promotions, discounts, or special shopping experiences
• Share promotional posts in the PiFest Fireside Forum channel
• Handle all sales, delivery, and customer fulfillment independently

Posting in the PiFest channel also qualifies merchants and developers for entry into the holiday raffle.

How Pioneers Can Join the Holiday Shopping Event

Pioneers can participate by:

• Browsing the Pi ecosystem directory and Fireside Forum
• Shopping at Pi-accepting local merchants or through Mainnet apps
• Taking advantage of holiday deals and promotions
• Sharing shopping or gift experiences in the PiFest Fireside Forum channel

Each valid post automatically enters participants into the raffle.
