Final Semester Internship At Fintroops Fintech
I am G.kusumanth I had got an internship offer from Fintroops. Fintroops is a product-based startup. Then after getting into service-based they started developing applications integrating it with payment gateway according to the customers need for example if the customer requires a payment gateway that is accessible globally then they will develop an application that would be integrated with global payment gateways like Stripe, Paypal and for domestic payment, they will use local payment gateways according to the customer’s requirements.
It’s been almost 3 months that I had started my intern and it has been a great learning experience working with a great set of enthusiastic people. I had been appointed as a software developer intern in the payment integration department. It was a smooth journey for me as my mentor and other colleagues were so helpful ad supportive.
THE START
In the initial phase of the intern, they had trained us on the basics of payment integration how it is done and why it is the most important phase in an application they had given us few tasks which we should complete and should get the review. Then they had told us about the idea of the company what to achieve and how our work would help them reach the goal.
TYPES OF PAYMENT GATEWAYS
. There are two types of gateways
1)International payment gateways(Global) — PayPal, Stripe
2) Domestic payment gateways (Local)- Razorpay, Payubiz
International Payment Gateways deals with payments that involve payments that could be done globally irrespective of the country or region the user is present. This also leads to conversion of the currency from one to another there would be conversion rates and commission charges applied.
Division of Teams
After completion of tasks and getting a good idea about the payments integration we were then divided into groups. I was the team leader of the group we were a total of eight in the group. I was so happy as my teammates were well known to me and were very supportive.
EXCLUNEWS
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The problem statement involves the development of a website. The website would contain various E-papers. The customer using this website would have access to all the E-papers. However, users could access only three articles free of cost. Accessing more than three articles would require a subscription which could be taken on a monthly basis or one time for a period of one month or yearly. The type of subscription is entirely the choice of the customer. The login details of the customer would be verified and the payments made by the user would be stored in the database.
Proposed Solution
Our primary task was to create a website where a person could access the content while having a subscription. we were given the freedom to choose between few topics we had chosen E-PAPER. The project mainly revolves around the payment gateway, accepting the payments globally and secure them safely.
Project Architecture
We had used PHP, HTML for developing our website front end and hosted our website using XAMPP and we had used the stripe for the payments gateway. We are saving Username, Email, and Password as the user credentials. We will encrypt the data using SHA256 in PHP. Right from the signup, everything is encrypted and secure safely in the database. After verifying the email Id user could log in through their credentials.
•After signing in the user needs to pay the premium or subscriptions either monthly or yearly for access to the E-News Papers, Articles
•The user needs to select the preferred subscription pack then the page would be redirected to the payment gateway. Once if the payment is successful then stripe would redirect to the success page on our website. Even in case of failure Stripe will redirect to the failure page on our website.
•Once if the page is redirected, we will store the date, time, email ID, and transaction details(either failure or success). If the transaction is a success we will give complete access to the news articles and newspapers.
OVERALL EXPERIENCE
I firstly thank my college, mainly the COMPUTER SCIENCE Department of my college( CSE BU ) and my H.O.D(Dr. Deepak Garg) for their guidance and support throughout my bachelor's.
I would also thank my mentor(Mr. Sravan) as he made my internship a smooth road. He was always there to help me and was so calm and supportive.
It is a great experience working in Fintroops. The complete journey right from day one was very great and I have learned many things and now I have a great idea about payment integrations. I am eagerly waiting for using all the knowledge gained through this internship.
