PayBridge Technologies

Create a service that connects all payment services so you can pay cross platform (CashApp, Venmo, etc). A trustworthy, fast, affordable, and most importantly an easy-to-use platform.

Comment

Inspiration:

We ran a Minecraft server. We needed to collect funds to operate but it was difficult as everyone had different payment methods, so we decided to come up with a solution to that!

What it does

Acts as a bridge to connect different payment platforms together

How we built it:

Node.js Express.js EJS MongoDB Bootstrap HTML CSS

Challenges we ran into:

  1. Form validation - Make sure no one could inspect element and change form data
  2. UUID Regen - When reloading page, you could resubmit the form without filling it in causing it to backlog our database
  3. Auto Emails - Send automatic emails when receiving a transaction
  4. UI Development - EJS to render variables like the transaction ID as well as errors and alerts

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned:

Important to be a team no matter the struggles Shoot for the stars, and aim for the moon You don't win without failing

What's next for PayBridge Technologies:

Create authentication via the backend to support memberships and daily limits Expand into different varieties of payment services (PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) Revamp website using frameworks like Next.js Fully automate transactions using APIs Find investors and look into hiring new members Ramp up marketing efforts
