Silent commerce

Hey Kiddo! Have you ever been to a store with your parents and seen something you really wanted, but you couldn't tell your parents because you were too shy or scared? Well, silent commerce is a way to buy things without talking to anyone at all!

Imagine going to a store and being able to scan a barcode or a QR code with your phone, and then pay for it without having to talk to anyone! That's what silent commerce is all about – it's a way to buy things without saying a word.

Now, you might be wondering how this works. Well, it's because of technology! Nowadays, there are apps and programs that let you make purchases without having to talk to anyone. You can even use your voice assistant like Siri or Alexa to buy things online!

Silent commerce can be used in all sorts of places, like stores, restaurants, and even vending machines. It's a way to make shopping easier and faster, especially for people who don't like talking to strangers or have trouble communicating.

So, that's what silent commerce is all about, Kiddo! It's a way to shop without having to say a word. Cool, right?
