It is available on both Android and iOS platform and uses stripe for processing the payment. The app targets small vendors, service providers, food delivery vendors and other such vendors and enables them to collect payment from their customers directly using the card.How did our client get the idea?Our client has a background of software development and she figured-out a gap while making a payment whenever any customer does not have the cash to pay for the bill. She thought there could be an easy way to solve this problem and came to us. How did our client approach us?As she has already worked with us for her 2 to 3 projects and was pretty impressed with the service that we provided, so she directly came to us with the problem. She described the entire problem to us.What was the proposed solution?We built a mobile payment app that detects credit card details using NFC or camera and processes the payment using Stripe for secure transaction.In short, PayNow, mobile payment collection app, helps vendors to accept payments from their customers without paying higher fees. Were there any technical challenges?According to client’s requirement, the client was charging a 10% commission on each transaction that was happening on the platform. At that time, stripe did not support dividing payment into two and transferring the money into different accounts.To solve the above-stated challenge, we contacted stripe customer support and described them our situation. After that, they helped us by providing support and necessary APIs to achieve the goal.
