Challenge

• Development of a web application that would enable the creation of eVouchers, so that their monetary value could be discounted in adherent stores.
• The application should integrate with external services (Treezor and MediaCadeaux), each of them with its own rules and settings.

Solution

The project, whose architecture is very similar to that of the microservices context, has 5 modules:

• Beginner - Spring Web starter configures each module and provides a single entry point.
• Beneficiary - Connects with the internal client (Media Cadeaux), which is responsible for selling the eVouchers (act digital also served as middleware for communication with the Treezor payment module). In other words: communication phase with the internal client Media Cadeaux, which is responsible for the vouchers, items that are integrated with real Sodexo customers. The Treezor company is responsible for payments, generates virtual cards, and handles the entire legal payment process.
• Operations - Provides the points for the Angular application with voucher statistics and other relevant information.
• Payment - Communication layer with Treezor, which manages everything related to the virtual cards.
• Merchant- Implements external API merchants (Awin, among others) to retrieve vouchers and provide them to Media Cadeaux.
