+            GNU Taler is a new electronic online payment system which provides 
privacy for customers and accountability for merchants. To pay with Taler, 
customers install an electronic wallet on their device. Before the first 
payment, the desired currency must be added to the wallet's balance by some 
other means of payment. Once the wallet is charged, payments on websites take 
only one click, are never falsely rejected by fraud detection and do not pose 
any risk of phishing or identity theft.
+            The goal of this project was ​to create a component that sits 
between the seller's frontend and the GNU Taler merchant backend. This 
component has a web interface, where payment buttons are configured. Additional 
goals included inventory management, where the seller can configure the 
available stock for an item and will get notified when their stock runs low. 
Currently, to accept payments with GNU Taler, people have to write their own 
code. What I proposed is to change this m [...]
+            Codeless Payment is a platform for the merchant where they can 
manage their inventory and simultaneously create a 'Buy Now' button for the 
specific product. This code can be directly copy pasted on the seller's 
frontend and can be used for 'Pay with Taler'.

+      {% trans %}
+           Codeless payment backend is implemented in Django. Django 
authentication
+           is used to create login and logout for the merchant portal. In this 
merchants
+           can manage their inventory and simultaneously update stocks for the 
given item.
+           Merchant's have the flexibility to add two types ofinventory as 
follows:
+      {% endtrans %}
+    <ul>
+
+      <li>
+         {% trans %}
+                The seller can upload Digital Inventory (like a PDF or html 
page)
+                via the codeless payments frontend, and the user can then 
purchase
+                it and view the version hosted by the codeless payment 
frontend.
+         {% endtrans %}
+       </li>
+
+       <li>
+         {% trans %}
+                The seller can add any Physical Inventory available in his 
stocks.
+                While adding these inventory, the seller is promted to
+                add Minimum Quantity of Product that is required to be 
maintained
+                in the stock. Whenever the stocks run below this limit the 
seller
+                would be notified(Curently this feature has not been added but 
+                soon email notification would be added).
+         {% endtrans %}
+       </li>
+    </ul>
+      {% trans %}
+           After merchant adds his inventory, they can create a 'Buy Now' and
+           simultaneously the code for the button is generated. This code can
+           be pasted on the seller's frontend and can be used to 'Pay with 
Taler'.
+      {% endtrans %}
+      {% trans %}
+          For the buyer, Whenever they purchase a product from the seller, 
after successful
+          payment they are redirected to the fullfillment page. For digital
+          inventory the fullfillment page would be the direct display of the
+          digital inventory(like pdf). But for actual product shipment 
tracking 
+          makes sence. Therefore on the fullfillment page the user can track
+          his shipment. The status of the order is updated by the merchant
+          and on this basis the user is updated about his shipment of 
fullfillment
+          page.
+      {% endtrans %}
+      {% trans %}
+          To handle the call back of the buy now button that is created is 
handled
+          by codeless payment backend. 
+      {% endtrans %}
+      {% trans %}
+          THe next contribution that I made was to document the Endpoint in 
Merchant
+          Backend API to manage merchant instances dynamically. Various 
endpoints
+          to manage the instnaces has been documented. The link to the 
documentation
+          can be found <a 
href="https://docs.taler.net/api/api-merchant.html#dynamic-merchant-instance";>here</a>

payment service. Basically it would be used as a hosting platform for multiple 
merchants. There would be an additional user interface part in the codeless 
payment service where a logged-in merchant can generate an API key. This API 
key can be used to access the functionality of the merchant backend in a 
controlled way. After requesting an API key, the page would display the 
generated key and a base URL for the A [...]

instance. This is not required for a simple version of codeless payments, but 
as soon as API access for sellers, this is a useful feature. The codeless 
payment service then can also double as a hosting service for merchants.

could be performed on the orders placed for the respective merchant. Some of 
the analysis that can be performed are displaying the most frequently purchased 
product, some insights about the shipment tracking, analysis of products based 
on delivery location, etc. For this part, dicussions and some more research has 
to be done before procedding to the implementation.
