Online Payment Solution and API development
|
Issue |
US-based company offering online payment solutions for small and mid-sized merchants, wanted to be able to target larger established merchants. With the previous process there was no separation between the inventory and the payment process. Our client also wanted to continue to improve the experience for their merchants and for their customer’s merchants, by giving merchants control of their customer’s experience.
|
| Solution: | The solution was to develop an online payments settlement and authorization Application Programming Interface (API) that would allow to act as a payment gateway. The new solution can be used by merchants in place of the current hosted solution, if a merchant so desires. The API will also be used for all transaction processing and will allow merchants to process any form of payment offered by the client. The rest of the API solution would then be built out by in-house team. |
| Result: |
The result is a stand-alone, authorization and settlement API designed to process any type of transaction; credit card, etc. It will enable the company to expand their payment services and continue to offer options for their merchants. Larger clients, with their own shopping carts and payment systems, will now be able to use our client’s service without a major change in their shipping processes.
“Softjourn was excellent at communication and kept the project on track, even with scope changes. Daily Skype meetings and weekly calls contributed to a well-run project. Softjourn’s code delivery was clear and included details of the changes that were added; this made it very easy to see the progress being made.” Project Coordinator/Business System Analyst |
