Project details

Technical and Regulatory Challenges

The client needed a flexible recurring payments module that could adapt to different markets. They faced challenges in securely storing sensitive data and ensuring continuous compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Adapting the system for varied jurisdictions in Europe, the United States, and Mexico added complexity. The existing approach using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) proved less optimal for their needs.

Essential Service Goals

Our service was crucial to expand the client’s payments network swiftly. We developed a robust recurring payments module using an API over HTTPS instead of SFTP. This change simplified integration and improved security. Our solution enabled a customisable payment gateway, reduced development time, and ensured ongoing regulatory compliance for merchants of all sizes.
