Payments
Originating a payment product, and integrating four gateways across MENA.
Originating buy now pay later
At Abwaab, I originated the buy now pay later proposition: the commercial case, the internal argument, and the path from concept through to a live payment option.
Four gateways across MENA
Integrating Paymob, Fawry, Valu and Tamara. What actually made it hard was not the API calls: reconciliation, failure states, and jurisdiction specific requirements.
The work ran across payment providers, legal counsel and business stakeholders.
The buyer payment journey
At Floranow: designing the buyer payment journey against a hosted payment provider, including a server side proxy so the mobile client never holds shared credentials.
The lesson
A redirect return is a hint, not a fact. The webhook is the source of truth.
