JustPay
Completing a User Experience journey for this product that allows users to split expenses and add multiple over the course of days, it can request/receive payments from multiple parties as well as keep track of recent transactions using API’s and personal authentication. My exploration was to extend the “split a bill” app idea, into something users will come back and use regardless of the event. Users have the option to do a multitude of expense itemizations and receive payment all within one app.
Approach
To allow multiple users, from a single person app, using multiple integrations from social media to Google and also payment apps like Cash, facebook, apple pay etc. Using SMS texts and other alerts to send secure links to verify activity. This started as a check splitting project, and then grew into something useful.
Discovery
Starting at the table, dining with friends, the need to split a check and had long debates over "who had what" and "who will pay". Initially starting with rough wire-framing and sketches, brain-storming around the app and the user's needs from one day to the next to make sure it was useful. The challenges of people needing to split a bill and multiple expenses, getting the calculator apps out, using scratches of paper, communicating verbally and sending funds. Focused time into the needs of not just one user, but the group and other settings where groups run into a similar issue. Mobile payments are so common now that using secure API’s I know this is an easier way for not just a single check, but for life as we currently live it.
