PayLater Plugin

PayLater Plugin is a project which allows a bank to provide its clients to get a credit on buying products from internet shops without any immediate contact with shops (without integrating a bank code into a shop webpage). The process of providing credit is implemented via browser plugin which enables purchase automation and integration with a seller’s interface.

Solution

Rather difficult and powerful solution consisting of several modules:

Module 1

Recognizig the pages with goods, ability to distinguish a page with description and purchase offer from all the other pages (wiki-articles, reviews, catalogues).

With the help of lexical analysis of thousand various pages several dictionaries and procedures have been developed which through mathematical, statistical and functional analysis of a page detect the certain type of a page with certain degree of probability.

Module1 identify: ordinary page, product page, product catalog page, checkout summary page, payment page.

Module 2

Page contents analysis, definition of names, brands and prices. Data exchange with banks.

Dictionaries and specific rules have been developed which allow to define an actual price of goods (differentiating it from a price without a discount or a price of other goods at this page).

Module 3

Semi-automatic guidance of a user at a website. Invitation to a shopping cart. Defining of checkout summary page (shopping cart page). Filling in necessary information and delivery address at checkout summary page.



Project results

The solution has been implemented, multiple tests have been carried out, analyses and researchings of application interacting with real users. The Plugin has been approved by the test-group of users and received a high level of interest.
