Inspiration

We identified a problem with the way that current donations are done on an online stream. There are streamers on Twitch and YouTube that are getting scammed in the situation where the donator issues a chargeback on PayPal after donating, even after their message is played on stream.

What it does

Our donation service uses the Interac e-Transfer API to securely transfer money from the donator to the streamer. Interac makes it much more difficult to issue a chargeback on fraudulent donations.

How we built it

• stdlib with HTML, CSS, and JS for the donation form website
• Golang with Heroku for developing and deploying the web app
• Interac e-Transfer API to send donations

Challenges we ran into

• Interac e-Transfer API documentation was not completely consistent
• Difficulty deploying a Golang web app on specific cloud services
• Difficulty sending HTTP POST requests to and from our services

Built With

• css
• go
• heroku
