Problem Description

Our client is a young startup that has reimagined the bill payment and collection experience to bridge the gap between buyers and sellers. They were seeking to expand its text-to-pay platform by incorporating new payment methods for their users, such as Credit Card, Debit Card, and ACH transfers.

Solutions

Bringing these new capabilities to the client involved extending their Python codebase to provide integrations with third-party payment gateways that connect to acquiring banks and card networks. Our software development experts conducted an analysis of their payment workflow and have designed, implemented, and tested a library that supported the selected payment providers, providing extensibility mechanisms to easily integrate new providers to the platform, using the same API.
