  • I developed backend services for Adaptive Payment APIs. Adaptive Payments APIs allows merchants and developers to pay almost anyone and set up automated payments. Merchants can create applications that manage payments, payment preapprovals, and refunds. They can also send money peer-to-peer, split payments in both parallel and chained models, accept guest payments, and schedule disbursements. These Adaptive Payments APIs work on multiple platforms including the web and mobile environments.
