Introduction:
At our company, we strive to provide seamless solutions to our customers’ pain points. Recently, we encountered a challenge faced by one of our clients, who struggled with sending payouts to their customers as bonuses. In response, we developed an integration between ManyChat and PayPal to automate the payout process and alleviate the customer’s burden.
Problem:
Our client encountered two main issues when it came to managing payouts. Firstly, there was no existing module available to facilitate the payout process. Secondly, there were difficulties in handling PayPal tokens, as they had a limited validity period, typically lasting only a few minutes. To overcome these obstacles, we devised a system that automatically generated and utilized tokens for seamless integration with PayPal.
Solution Approach:
To address the aforementioned problems, we adopted the following solution approach:
-
Token Generation: We developed a mechanism to automatically generate PayPal tokens as needed, eliminating the hassle of manual token management and ensuring continuous and reliable integration.
-
Integration Modules: Our solution incorporated several key modules, including ManyChat, HTTP, Error Handlers, and Webhooks. These modules worked together to establish a smooth flow of information and facilitate secure transactions.
Actual Execution:
In practice, the integration was seamlessly executed using the following steps:
-
Customer Interaction: When a customer engaged in a chat through ManyChat and expressed a desire to make a purchase, they had the option to request a bonus of a specific amount.
- Transaction Tracking: The integrated system allowed the client to track all transaction information effortlessly. This feature ensured transparency and facilitated accurate record-keeping.
