Developer Nikita has created an open-source payment and loyalty system designed for small businesses and temporary events. The solution operates directly in a web browser, eliminating the need for specialized hardware or dedicated mobile applications.
The system utilizes a React frontend and a Node.js backend with a JSON-based file storage for transactions. For Android devices, the platform leverages WebNFC technology to read NFC tags. For iOS, the system uses QR code scanning as a fallback method to identify users.
The developer highlights several operational benefits, including the ability to collect funds in advance, reduced transaction fees compared to traditional banking acquiring, and minimal setup costs. The system also includes a logging feature for transaction tracking and data export to Excel.
Future development plans include migrating from JSON files to a MongoDB database, implementing a multi-role access model, and enhancing real-time analytics. The project source code is publicly available for community contributions.
