Proposal for Paystack Auto Debit Integration with Ultimate Auction Pro

Objective

The goal of this project is to integrate Paystack’s auto debit feature with the Ultimate Auction Pro plugin to enable automatic payment processing for winning bids, ensuring a seamless auction experience for both bidders and the auction platform.


Scope of Work

Phase 1: Paystack API Integration

  • Implement Paystack’s Transaction Authorization to allow users to approve automatic debits for auction payments.

  • Develop a secure tokenization system where bidders authorize their payment method once, and it gets charged automatically if they win an auction.

  • Configure a webhook system to handle transaction updates, failed payments, and notifications.

Phase 2: Integration with Ultimate Auction Pro

  • Modify the auction checkout flow to include Paystack’s auto debit as a payment option.

  • Ensure that once a bidder wins, the system automatically initiates the debit using Paystack.

  • Implement fallback mechanisms in case of failed auto-debits (e.g., retry logic, email alerts).

Phase 3: Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Perform sandbox testing with Paystack to simulate successful and failed transactions.

  • Conduct end-to-end testing within the auction system to confirm seamless auto debit processing.

  • Debug and fix any potential issues before deployment.

Phase 5: Deployment & Support

  • Deploy the integration to the live environment with minimal downtime.

  • Monitor transactions for the first few weeks to ensure stability.

  • Provide post-launch support for any unforeseen issues.
