About THE Project

Chequeout aimed to revolutionize how merchants and customers interact at pop-up events, virtual gatherings, and physical stores by introducing a frictionless, scan-and-go payment experience. Their mobile app was designed to eliminate checkout lines, reduce transaction times, and provide an engaging live shopping alternative for online and in-person sales.

When the Covid pandemic hit, in-person events were disrupted, and Chequeout needed to pivot fast. Working closely with their team, we transformed their physical payment solution into a fully interactive, live social shopping platform, enabling merchants to host sales events over Zoom and other virtual platforms.

Objectives

Develop a seamless POS integration for real-time transactions and inventory management.
Implement QR code-based checkout for a frictionless customer experience.
Create a React Native mobile app to support iOS and Android users.
Integrate Shopify to automate inventory updates and order fulfillment.

Collaborative Development Approach

We worked in tight collaboration with Chequeout’s team, ensuring an iterative development process with constant feedback and refinements.

Comprehensive Planning and Execution

We aligned the project’s roadmap with market demands, prioritizing QR-based payments, POS integration, and live commerce features.

Scalable and Secure Backend Solution

We optimized the backend architecture using Temporal and Spiral Framework, ensuring smooth transaction processing, scalability, and compliance with security standards. They now had a Live Social Shopping Platform to engage customers in a QVC-style online buying experience.

Project results

From their initial launch, there was a huge demand and the platform had hundreds of merchants and shoppers using Chequeout over Zoom to facilitate ordering and payments using QR codes. Thankfully, the shopping platform hit the ground running with a platform that was flexible enough to adapt to Covid shutdown, and our certified Shopify experts were able to pivot to make the necessary changes to launch on time and in budget.

The revamped Chequeout platform launched successfully, evolving from a physical POS solution into a fully scalable, hybrid shopping experience.
