Payments platform with a light weight POS system built on.

README¶ ↑

This is an interesting side project I’m working on that ties a payments platform to a market-specific Point of Sale system.

This is targeted at small airports and aircraft owners. The overriding concept is an extension of the concept of in-house accounts. Many aircraft owners have in-house accounts with the airport at which they’re based that they add transactions to and pay them off monthly. This application allows any airport on the platform to add charges to any “in-house account”, effectively mimicking the function of PayPal or Venmo. Actual payments would be done by me on the back end via ACH draft.

This application uses Ruby on Rails with a bit of vanilla Javascript. Unique features of this application are extensive finanical calculations done in various models and encrypted storage of bank account credientails using the attr_encrypted gem.

General gemstack information:

devise - provides authentication

simple_form - general form builder

bootstrap-sass - imports the twitter bootstrap framework

stripe - installed to support credit card payments, decided not to integrate at this point because I wanted to fully flesh out the ACH use case

figaro - used to store environmental variables

will_paginate - basic pagination gem

qbo_api - api framework to communicate with QuickBooks Online. Began integration, but have not completed

oauth2 - OAuth as required for Quickbooks integration

acts_as_paranoid - prevents accidental deletion of invoices that would mess up balances of accounts

postmark-rails - API wrapper for postmark, used as emailer for transactional emails

recaptcha - imports Google recaptcha via API to prevent spam sign ups

attr_encrypted - gem supporting credential encryption

This application should be considered incomplete as of 9/12/17, but can be viewed at www.AeroPay.io
