Secure Crypto Payment APIs for a Digital Entertainment Platform
About Our Client
The Client is a provider of a digital entertainment platform that has continuously upgraded its solutions to deliver a strong user experience.
The Client's Online Entertainment Software Didn't Support Crypto Payments
The Client offers customers various ways to pay software subscription fees and make in-app payments for entertainment activities. As crypto payments grew increasingly popular worldwide, the company decided to add this option to improve customer satisfaction and attract new clientele globally.
The Client wanted custom crypto payment APIs to enable secure payments in popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ether on its platform, and needed the integration software to automatically direct payment flows to different crypto wallets.
Since the in-house team lacked the relevant technical competencies, the company sought a trustworthy technology partner proficient in blockchain and crypto to handle the API development.
Development of Custom APIs for Seamless Crypto Payments
INNERLUXES came on board as a reliable vendor with deep practical knowledge of decentralized finance (DeFi). Within two weeks, we provided two senior Python developers and a QA engineer ready to start.
The team began by exploring the Client's requirements and analyzing the high-level concept of the integration solution prepared by the in-house team. In under three weeks, INNERLUXES delivered a detailed crypto integration architecture design and a proof of concept (PoC) to confirm the viability of the proposed approach.
After PoC approval, the team built custom APIs connecting the Client's online entertainment platform and crypto wallet to the Bitcoin and Litecoin blockchains for instant payment processing, and enabled automated routing of received crypto funds to pre-specified wallet accounts. QA experts tested in parallel with development to ensure code vulnerabilities were fixed before launch.
As the Client chose to handle deployment in-house, INNERLUXES delivered comprehensive technical documentation for the source code, including detailed descriptions of how the final integration solution should work. This helped the Client smoothly deploy the crypto payment functionality and establish effective maintenance of the new APIs.
Throughout the project, the team maintained close, transparent collaboration with stakeholders — holding three refinement sessions per week and reporting on completed tasks every two weeks — and relied on established Agile practices to speed up development.
Rapid Integration of Crypto Payments to Boost Product Value
Within eight months, the Client received ready-to-deploy source code and comprehensive technical documentation for its custom Litecoin and Bitcoin APIs, letting it introduce an innovative crypto payment option promptly and with minimal risk. The Client powered its next-generation platform with crypto payment capabilities and gained the opportunity to drive high customer satisfaction and attract new customers worldwide.
The Client was satisfied with the results and continued cooperating with INNERLUXES to develop Ether and ERC-20 token payment APIs and further improve crypto payment security.
