Tiivistelmä
FreeNest offers a team-oriented product development platform. The solution is provided as an open source software available for anyone to download and use within their own hardware.
The main research question was how to simplify this process and how to allow the customers to use FreeNest service without need to set up their own server environment. The use of the cloud for this purpose is the ideal solution how to satisfy the customer and how to earn money to fund the development of an open source project such as FreeNest.
The main goal was to provide for the customers an interface where they can safely order and pay for the FreeNest service in the cloud. This interface will be used as a proof of the concept for the further development of the final e-commerce portal solution.
The newest technologies for this purpose such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript together with the well-established technologies such as PHP and MySQL were used. For the cloud part of the solution, OpenStack was used. The target was to create a responsive and dynamic web page, which would be very attractive to the user.
An important part was the research of payment services, which offer various local payment options. Those services can be used to provide customers with well-known and trusted payment options well suited to their location. There are numerous companies offering this type of services. Comparison of the selected ones, together with the information about their implementation, was done.
The selected services for this purpose are Adyen and Suomen Verkkomaksut. Adyen is an example of an international service providing different local payment options in various countries worldwide. Suomen Verkkomaksut focuses on the Finnish market and provides solutions useful especially for the company with the customer base mainly in the Finland.
