This User Story also involves research for future possibilities on implementing some form of interface that allows us to use payment machines through our app. The results of this research would determine what is done for the user story Payment user story

Research Report

Payment Card Reader With Own Dedicated App

SumUp: One possibility would be that, when it is time for the restaurant client to pay, the restaurant personnel open up the SumUp app and enter the amount due. Another option, which would make things a little simpler for the user, is to have a pay button in our app that manages to launch the SumUp app by itself when clicked.

Payment Card Reader With API

Unfortunately, there are no payment machine solutions with APIs that allow us to connect our PhoneGap app directly to the machine. Here are solutions that I found, but that only have support for native apps for Android and iOS, and not cross-platform apps implemented using PhoneGap.

Payment Directly Inside Our App

If we want to allow restaurant customers to pay restaurants directly from inside the app, the best option would obviously be PayPal. This would also require us to have the restaurant owner enter his PayPal information in the website application, which will then be stored in our database. Our mobile app would then fetch this information to allow customers to pay the restaurant using PayPal.

harley1011 commented 7 years ago

Definitely some potential solutions, but I don't think SumUp would be that good of an idea as opening another app and manually entering your amount doesn't really seem practical.

ddbas commented 7 years ago

I absolutely agree. It wouldn't be practical at all. But these are just a list of possible options. They're not necessarily the best
