Paymote

Paymote is an independent, personal web platform developed to solve a critical operational challenge faced by grocery store managers: managing and balancing third-party financial and retail services efficiently in a single, audit-friendly system.

In retail environments, services such as money transfers, lottery, bill payouts, and government programs (WIC/EBT) carry high transaction volume and strict daily balancing needs. Paymote centralizes these services into a unified workflow, giving store owners real-time financial control, automated daily closing reports, and multi-store visibility.

Features

• Third-Party Service Accounting: Dedicated workflows and balances for Money Order, Ria, Western Union, Lotto, Payout, ATM machines, OTC, WIC, and EBT.
• Decision-Making Reports: Real-time sales, payouts, and service fee analytics generated to empower quick business decisions.
• Centralized Multi-Store Management: Effortlessly switch between multiple store locations while maintaining aggregated and per-store balances.
• Full Audit Trail & Accountability: Comprehensive activity logging ensures complete visibility over user actions (“who did what and when”) across all transactions and registers.
• Automated Reconciliations: Streamlined daily closing processes that match register entries against provider statements.

DevOps & Infrastructure

• Automated CI/CD Pipeline: GitHub Actions workflow running automated unit and integration test suites on every push or merge to the main branch.
• Zero-Downtime Deployment: Continuous deployment directly to Laravel Cloud upon successful test execution.
