CINNUG

Tuesday August 22nd, Max Technical Training in Mason, OH

6pm at our monthly CINNUG meeting, we welcome Parag Joshi with "Digital Payments in a Mobile World"

Apple Pay and Android Pay are now here as are several other methods to pay electronically rather than using conventional means such as check or cash. How do we integrate these in our app and what are our options? In this session, we will look at at an Android app that uses Android Pay to process payments using Stripe. We will take a look at the Stripe backend and also the android pay development do’s and do not’s. We will also look at an iOS app that uses Square to accept credit card payments. No doubt, if you have walked into a store or rented a car, you have seen the Square terminals. We will take a look at the Square reader and walk through the code to interact with a Square app. You will leave this session with an understanding of what it takes to integrate Stripe and Square into your apps.
