Chapa Developer Collection January Edition

Selam Chapist,

Did you miss us? December was a scaling month for us, with fewer product updates. This month’s series is a set of December and January updates. But before that, how were the holidays? Christmas, Gena (Ethiopian Christmas), and New year? I hope you all have a blast.

Before all, did you have a chance to listen to our podcast with Andrew Barden? If you haven’t, Enjoy it here.

Product Updates

• We introduced Event Scanner App to onboard your attendees. We tested it with our partners, and “I have never seen such a smooth onboarding process,” said one event attendee. If you plan to have an event, make sure to use our end-to-end platform. Also if you wanna check out upcoming events, check https://chapa.link/events 
• We added three payment methods, and you are getting closer to your customers than ever.
• We added new features to our merchant app. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, Download it now.
• Now phone_number can be passed as a first-class parameter and used as an identifier. All you have to do is add phone_number to your payload.

Community & Open Source

• Leoul did a fantastic job with his Rust SDK; check it out here.
• Khalid updated Chapa-flutter. Now fallback url comes with transaction reference and paid amount value.
• Check out ethiopianlogos.com. Make sure to add your or your favorite business/startup logo here.

But If we miss something from our community, send us an email or DM us so that we will include it in our next series.
