PortaPayments updated to allow creation of “Universal Codes”

funkyandroid — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:39:39 +0000

In response to feedback from users Funky Android Ltd. have enhanced the PortaPayments service to facilitate the creation of “Universal Codes” which can be scanned and processed by any QR Code reader capable of forwarding users to a URL embedded in a QR Code.

The existing PortaPayments application has been updated to allow it to read and process the new Universal codes, but merchants are now free to recommend to customers any suitable QR code reader and if customers already have a suitable QR Code reader installed on their device they are not required to install any further software. The original PortaPayments QR Codes will continue to be supported and any merchant using them will not be forced to upgrade.

Universal codes can be generated via the PortaPayments website from today.

We’re very pleased to see Android Guys recommend PortaPayments to Android users. There are a few things mentioned in the way of possible improvements, and we are, as always, happy to take those on board and look to include them in a future version of the app.

PortaPayments Launched

Funky Android Ltd. have launched PortaPayments, a system which allows PayPal payment requests to be printed on documents or dynamically created on electronic devices. The PortaPayments system encodes a payment request into a QR Code which is then scanned by the person wishing to make the payment.

PortaPayment codes can be printed on invoices, adverts, and used in other locations where PayPal payment requests previously could not be used. PortaPayment codes are created with details of the recipient and a description of the transaction which allows them to be re-used multiple times by multiple customers as opposed to current one-time fixed recipient requests. PortaPayments uses PayPals new adaptive API to allow multiple recipients to be included into a single PortaPayments code.

PortaPayments is an entrant in the PayPal X Developers Challenge, and the Android application can be downloaded from AndAppStore, the PortaPayments website, or Googles Android Market.

More information can be found on the PortaPayments website at www.PortaPayments.com or in the demonstration video below;.
