- <p>
- {% trans %}
- Codeless payment is 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. Registered
- merchants can manage their inventory and simultaneously create a
- 'Buy Now' button for a specific product. This code can be
directly
- copy pasted on the seller's frontend and can be used for
'Pay with
- Taler'.
- {% endtrans %}

- </div>

-
- <div class="container">
- <div class="col-lg-6">
- <h2 id="overview">{{ _("Use Cases") }}</h2>
- <p>
- {% trans %}
- The various use cases and features of codeless payment are:
- {% endtrans %}
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- The primary use case is the registration of the merchant. The
- codeless payment backend provides a secure django authenticated
- login to the merchant. The registered merchant can add inventory
- (both digital as well as physical) in their stocks. They can
- manage inventory and simultaneously create a 'Buy Now' button for
- the product. The merchant also monitors the orders placed and
- updates the status of the order which helps in shipment tracking.
- {% endtrans %}
- </li>
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- A merchant has the flexibility to add two types of inventory as
follows:
- {% endtrans %}
- <ul>
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- The merchant 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 merchant can add any physical inventory available in his
- stocks. While adding these inventory, the seller is prompted
- 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 (currently this feature has
- not been added but soon email notification would be added).
- {% endtrans %}
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- The buyers will access the seller's frontend where the code for
- the 'Buy Now' button is present. When this button is triggered,
- they are redirected to codeless payment backend and eventually
- redirected to the payment page. After successful payment, the
- buyer can also track their shipment for physical products or
- view the digital version hosted by the codeless payment
- frontend.
- {% endtrans %}
- </li>
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- The other use case of the codeless payment backend is to handle
- the event when the 'Buy Now' button is triggered on the seller's
- frontend. To perform the payment the backend communicates with
- merchant backend api. After successful payment, the users are
- redirected to the fulfilment page.
- {% endtrans %}
- </li>
- </ul>
- <h2 id="overview">{{ _("Dynamic Merchant Instance") }}</h2>

- instance can be found

-
- <p>
- {% trans %}
- The backend of codeless payment is very robust and can be easily
- extended as per the requirements. It is adaptive to add new features
- to this framework. But as per the discussion and the scope of this
- project, there are various features that will be soon added in the
- Codeless Merchant Backend. The list of future work is as follows:
- {% endtrans %}
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- To send email notification to the merchant when the stocks run
- below a certain limit. The minimum quantity required to be
- maintained in the stocks is currently taken from the
- merchant(specific to each product) but no such notification system
- is designed.
- {% endtrans %}
- </li>
-
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- To add API access to the merchant backend via the codeless 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 API to use by the seller, which is handled
- by the codeless payments service.
- {% endtrans %}
- </li>
-
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- Mapping every seller account to a separate merchant backend
- 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.
- {% endtrans %}
- </li>
-
- <li>
- {% trans %}
- To add various analytics for the merchant. Various analysis
- 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 have to be done before proceeding to the
- implementation.
