The Challenges

Payment Systems Establishment for iOS

For the purchase payment transactions, iOS gives an access but for subscription, common payment gateways such as PayPal and Payfort can’t be used in iOS. iOS provides its own payment gateway but that charges more commission per transaction which isn’t at all an affordable solution.

Brainvire PhoneGap developers tried some payment systems and came up with in-app purchases to solve the payment integration issues. After having a lot of testing and development cycles running simultaneously, finally, a successful payment system gets established.

The Challenges

Display of each result in clickable dots on Google Map

Once a user searches for particular properties, the results can come both the ways: list view and map view. The client wanted to display search result, in map view where the result can be shown as clickable dot point on the map. On clicking, it takes a user to property detail page.

Having stronghold on Google Map APIs, Brainvire’s mobile application developers crafted a specific module for a map view. Brainvire team of QA professionals did rigorous testing on it to make it a full-fledged map view of search results.

Issues implementing Payfort integration

Apart from PayPal, PayFort was also supposed to be integrated with the mobile application. But it was giving troubles crafting in PhoneGap based mobile app. This payment gateway was unavoidable as it was trending payment system in Middle East countries.

Brainvire developers tried out alternate ways to stay connected to Payfort and came with a web-based redirection to Payfort payment gateway. This made the payment processes simpler and faster. Plus, this increased the possibilities for other PhoneGap-incompatible payment gateways as well.
