BLAQclouds, Inc. Formally Launches BLAQpay as the Fourth Pillar of Its Four Pillars Philosophy
ROBESONIA, Pa., Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BLAQclouds, Inc. (OTC: BCDS) today announced the formal launch of BLAQpay, the Company’s next-generation Web3 payments platform, as Pillar Four of the BLAQclouds Four Pillars Philosophy. The launch represents the culmination of more than five years of continuous development, beginning with DiVinciPay, advancing through ZEUSxPay in test and pilot markets, and now graduating to full public retail availability as BLAQpay.
BLAQpay is now live at .
From Concept to Commercial Scale
BLAQpay was purpose-built to bridge Web2 commerce and Web3 payments without disrupting existing merchant workflows. The platform installs seamlessly across:
- WIX
- WordPress / WooCommerce
- Shopify
- Custom-coded websites
For merchants, freelancers, designers, and service providers, BLAQpay delivers an intuitive invoicing and checkout experience that is easy to deploy, simple to manage, and powerful to scale. The BLAQpay admin dashboard provides real-time transaction tracking, reporting, and settlement visibility across all supported platforms.
Importantly, BLAQpay is 100% custom-coded and developed in-house by BLAQclouds, ensuring full control over security, scalability, and future feature expansion.
Why WIX, WordPress, and Shopify Matter
Beginning February 1, 2026, BLAQclouds will initiate targeted marketing campaigns focused on merchants using WIX, WordPress, and Shopify—three of the largest global website and e-commerce ecosystems.
Summary Comparison (2025–2026 Estimates):
| Platform | Active Stores (Approx.) | Core Focus |
| Shopify | 5.5M – 6.8M | Dedicated, high-volume e-commerce |
| WooCommerce | 4.5M – 6.0M | Highly flexible, open-source |
| Wix | ~3.0M | Simple, integrated websites + shops |
Collectively, these platforms represent tens of millions of active merchants globally, making them a natural launchpad for BLAQpay’s blended Web2/Web3 payment capabilities.
“BLAQpay is not a pivot — it is the graduation of a vision we started more than five years ago,” said Shannon Hill, Chief Executive Officer of BLAQclouds, Inc. “From DiVinciPay to ZEUSxPay and now to BLAQpay, each phase allowed us to test, refine, and harden the platform. As Pillar Four of our Four Pillars Philosophy, BLAQpay completes the ecosystem by giving merchants a real-world, production-ready payments layer that integrates seamlessly into how they already do business.”
“We are excited to lead the rollout of BLAQpay to the WIX, WordPress, and Shopify merchant communities,” said Dr. Todd Zang, a Member of the BLAQclouds Board of Directors. “We have already engaged multiple industry-leading marketing firms to support targeted outreach and conversion. Blending Web2 familiarity with Web3 efficiency is a powerful formula for increasing merchant adoption and sales.”
“BLAQpay represents the practical application of everything BLAQclouds has been building toward,” added Dr. Tony Ratliff, Advisory Board Member of BLAQclouds. “Our focus is on execution — driving awareness, onboarding merchants, and demonstrating how Web3 payments can enhance, not replace, existing commerce. This is how adoption actually happens.”
