Webkorps partnered with PayPal to enhance key features of its payment processing platform, focusing on user experience improvements and streamlined transaction processes. The project aimed to integrate advanced functionalities that would support seamless online and mobile payments while maintaining industry-standard security and compliance. Notable enhancements included customizable payment forms, an optimized checkout process, and the implementation of robust analytics tools. Webkorps specifically collaborated with PayPal’s Unbranded Checkout Card (UCC) team to enhance credit and debit card payment capabilities.

The Problem & Challenges

PayPal identified a need to upgrade its features to better serve the evolving demands of merchants and consumers. Users desired a more customizable checkout experience that would allow them to tailor payment forms to match their branding. Additionally, there was a growing need for advanced analytical tools to help merchants gain actionable insights from their transaction data and better manage their businesses.

Customizability

Developing customizable payment forms that merchants could easily modify without requiring extensive technical skills posed a significant challenge.

User Experience

Ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience across multiple devices was essential for the successful adoption of the new features.

Security Compliance

It was critical to maintain compliance with industry security standards while implementing new functionalities.

Integration with Existing Systems

The new features needed to integrate smoothly with PayPal’s existing infrastructure, which required careful planning and coordination.

Our Solution

Webkorps delivered a robust and scalable solution tailored to PayPal’s evolving payment ecosystem, focusing on enhancing user experience, flexibility, and security while ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.

Custom Payment Forms

Developed advanced credit and debit card payment forms that allowed merchants to customize fields and align with their branding, thereby enhancing the checkout experience.

Streamlined Checkout Process

Optimized the checkout flow by integrating PayPal’s branded checkout with customized card fields, enabling quicker transaction completion.

Analytics Dashboard

Set up a new analytical system in Splunk, leveraging Kibana filters, to provide merchants with valuable insights into sales performance, customer behavior, and transaction trends. Additionally, Webkorps facilitated the migration of these dashboards from Splunk to Datadog, ensuring seamless monitoring and continuity.

Enhanced Security Features

Integrated PayPal’s RAAS (Risk Assessment Service) to bolster transaction security. Webkorps developed user-defined filters that allowed merchants to set custom risk rules, such as mandating 3D Secure (3DS) authentication for high-value transactions and setting country-specific transaction limits.

Real-Time Notifications

Implemented real-time notifications to alert merchants of any abnormal activities. For instance, alerts were set up to notify merchants if the threshold value of a particular component or API dropped below 20%
