• Abstract

There are many different ways to conduct a payment in today’s society. The most
common ways to transfer money is by using bank transfer, credit and debit cards
or e-wallets. Global and instant micropayments are however not possible using
different e-wallets as endpoints. In this report, the authors try to find a feasible
solution to this by using and combining the functionalities of two e-wallets by
connecting them. Research is made on potential endpoint e-wallets and Swish
and PayPal are selected to be used in the system. A distributed system model is
built and an initial prototype is implemented based on wire transfers. The system
is tested using a integration testing strategy and the performance of the prototype
is validated by measuring the execution time of the system. The results from
the unit and system tests are collected and the system is verified by passing all
integration tests. It is concluded that there is a feasible solution for connecting
the e-wallets and that even more e-wallets could be integrated into the system.
Lastly, the authors discuss the project and future work.
