Development of a web application for consultation and online payments of technological services in higher education institutions

Abstract

Currently services for online payments using gateways, have been displacing traditional payments. In this way, in addition to providing ease to the user, it also increases revenues from the use of these technologies. All electronic payment methods make life easier and make processing much cheaper, more efficient and more friendly for the end user, who with just a couple of clicks can process any request from your Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop. At present, the marketing processes of Tecnar’s Technological Office services are carried out manually, as well as the offer to the external community in general. The process of paying for a service, vital to guarantee the income and sustainability of the business unit, does not have an online payment platform. For this reason, it is necessary to develop an information system that allows executing consultations and online payments.A dynamic website will be delivered in a first phase using the PayU platform, to pay for computer maintenance services. Prior to this, there will be an investigation of other sites that use electronic commerce to promote their products. Finally, the development of the site will be carried out, implementing a database in MySQL, developing the site in HTML5 language through the BoilerPlate framework and the CSS3, JavaScript and PHP languages. In addition, implementing the Scrum methodology, which allows us to incorporate a set of good practices to work as a team and obtain better results. Preliminary effects include the creation of the database, the administration module and the PayU gateway registration.
