PayAssist needed to develop an exclusive plugin for select merchant customers using BigCommerce to support safe, secure, and efficient payment flows. Because the solution was tied directly to checkout, it also needed to allow for customization in both appearance and functionality to meet different merchant requirements.
The Solution
LIM approached the project with a clear understanding of how critical the checkout experience is within ecommerce. Because checkout requirements can vary significantly from one business to another, flexibility in both design and functionality was a key part of the solution.
Our approach was guided by the idea that merchants should be able to use an Optimized One-Page Checkout as a model for checkout form best practices, while still having the flexibility to support more advanced customization when specific business needs required it.
To support the project, we assembled a team that included a project manager, senior technical manager, back-end developer, front-end developer, and quality assurance associate.
The Result
Within 10 weeks, LIM delivered a front-end application for BigCommerce along with a back-end integration built to work with both BigCommerce APIs and payment processor APIs.
Our team also managed the requests and responses across both BigCommerce and payment APIs to help ensure a seamless integration and a smooth user experience.
The TranSafe gateway supports an iframe-based payment acceptance method called PaymentFrame, as well as direct POST and REST API calls.
