Our client sought to develop an intermediary payment gateway that allows agents to connect to the system via web services or APIs to facilitate online payments. When users pay for services like phone top-ups, the payment card information is sent to the gateway, which forwards the data to GSM devices for verification and processing. The results are then returned to the client, with agents able to track payment information in real time. The core challenge was ensuring stable, real-time connections with minimal latency throughout the payment process.
The project required the development of a secure, scalable payment gateway that could handle real-time transactions with low latency. Key requirements included:
To meet these requirements, we employed a microservices architecture to ensure scalability and reduce latency. The payment gateway was built using RESTful APIs and SOAP-based web services for agent integration. We used cloud-based infrastructure with auto-scaling capabilities to maintain high availability and reduce downtime. GSM communication was handled using dedicated middleware to streamline interactions between the payment gateway and GSM devices, while monitoring tools ensured real-time tracking and error logging for quick troubleshooting.
The solution delivered a highly reliable payment gateway with real-time transaction processing, allowing agents to seamlessly connect through APIs and web services, while end-users benefited from faster, more secure online payment experiences.
