The Beckn protocol is a way to reimagine digital commerce from the first principles. As the world's first commerce protocol, Beckn enables businesses to undertake e-commerce with ease and at their own command. Today, small businesses, be it a local retail store or a mobility operator, are struggling to become internet-friendly, Beckn is an effort to make the Internet a ‘small-business-friendly’ place. Beckn allows for open inclusive commerce sans the big gatekeepers, thereby democratising digital commerce. Beckn Foundation is the creator of the open protocol and it engages with businesses, governments and civil societies across the world to drive the adoption of Beckn as a digital public good to create open ecommerce marketplaces.
