Our Part

Meeting deadlines

The main challenge was meeting a tight deadline. Our client strived to achieve the shortest time to market, so we needed to involve experienced software engineers quickly. We hired and onboarded the required specialists within one week. The customer approved each employee and took over the team management and task planning.

Legacy modernization

Our dedicated team was immediately integrated into the client’s development processes. We established seamless communication with the customer’s in-house managers and engineering team. Following the project’s roadmap, we cleaned up the backend legacy code and fixed the existing payment gateway during the first development phase.

Transactions

Then, our developers rebuilt an old gateway Proxy and implemented ACI Integration, Connect In, and Direct Destination Integration. We used ACI tokens for rebilling transactions.

Data migration

The next step was to migrate old merchants’ traffic to the rebuilt Proxy gateway. We integrated functions step by step, so a new backend solution worked in parallel with the old one. After the new gateway was ready, we routed the merchants’ traffic to the new API, completely substituting the old one. We also migrated the DNS and Certificates from ACI to the new gateway, developed and integrated the data storage, and rebuilt the database structure. The Rebilling functionality started using our backend token.

AGILE PROJECT management

Meeting the deadlines and Agile release cycle, our dedicated team developed a new, secure, and stable payment gateway and seamlessly integrated it with the front end.
