Cashbac Biz - Dedicated Merchant Management & Payment Platform
Cashbac Biz was the official merchant-side operations and payment acceptance platform by Cashbac, engineered to equip business owners across F&B, retail, and lifestyle sectors with low-latency transaction processing and actionable operational visibility. The platform streamlined digital in-store checkouts while empowering merchants to manage branch operations and deploy localized customer reward campaigns.
🚀 Key Contributions & Engineering Impact
- Real-Time Web Verification PWA: Architected and deployed the lightweight JavaScript-based Progressive Web App (PWA) utilized across thousands of retail and dining outlets for instant, reliable payment verification at the counter.
- Hardware-Free Beacon Proximity Engine: Engineered a native Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) proximity payment architecture capable of transmitting beacon signals directly from the merchant's Android device. This software-driven innovation eliminated costly imported physical beacon hardware, driving rapid, friction-free adoption across the merchant network.
- High-Impact Critical Bug Resolution: Proactively diagnosed and permanently resolved a critical payment verification failure outside primary role boundaries, where transactions became trapped in an indefinite "pending" state on the merchant PWA. The low-level fix maintained 100% transaction integrity across thousands of physical locations until the platform's lifecycle concluded.
- Multi-Branch & Terminal Architecture: Designed operational workflows supporting multi-branch hierarchy, staff role delegation, and cashier-level transaction tracking to maintain financial accountability across high-volume merchant chains.
