Challenges

Manage Payment Calculations

As customers can purchase deals via Xzone points, wallet amounts and have an option to give a tip to manage all calculations for payment was a little bit tough. Our developers have overcome this challenge by developing a custom calculation mode very accurately. After this, we have successfully implemented this main scenario.

To Integrate Payment Gateway

We have integrated third-party payment gateway Authorized.net as per the client's request. We use their developer's documentation to integrate API and SDKs in the Sandbox. At the time of integration in both apps, it did not work correctly. It's always a primary task for any developers when it comes to Payment Gateway. After many brainstorming research, internal team discussions, and discussions with Authorized.net's support team, we have successfully integrated it.
