 Week 7 – Stripe Payment Integration

Overview

This week’s focus was on setting up and integrating the Stripe Payment Gateway into the FoodNextDoor mobile application. The goal was to enable users to make secure payments when confirming or donating food through the app. This feature marks the start of Sprint 3, emphasizing financial transaction handling and enhancing user trust and convenience.


As recommended by our team leader sampurna we 're trying to figure out in the payment plan development and also recommended to watch video on youtube to learn more about payment plan.


React Native Code Snippet: Demonstrates the npm install @stripe/stripe-react-native command used for integration.

This week helped me understand how payment gateways work within mobile applications and how to maintain security during data transfer. Integrating Stripe into the FoodNextDoor app will make the donation and order process more reliable and professional.

I found the Stripe documentation and sandbox testing environment extremely helpful, and this task improved my technical confidence in handling API integrations. Moving forward, I’ll help finalize the checkout workflow to complete the payment feature under Sprint 3.

Week-5 Report (Food NextDoor)

By -
 Week-5 Report  June 28, 2025 My focus this week was on broadening our project by suggesting an idea that lends itself to our aim of tackling the problems of food waste and food accessibility - a Community Fridge Locator and Booking System. The idea was spurred by Starr's own research into local food-sharing projects, where community fridges are emerging as an increasingly popular grassroots solution. By adding a map-based fridge locator to our system, users will be able to see where there are community fridges near them, what is available or needed at which fridges, and they can even claim space to drop off their food. This sort of system can be very helpful for smaller food businesses or supermarkets, or anyone wishing to give away perishables in a speedy, organised fashion. In our group meeting, we put some thoughts on how this new module may be implemented, and those components include the following: Map Integration (e.g., Google Maps API) to search and visualize community...

Research: Reducing Food Waste with Smart Apps

  Research: Reducing Food Waste with Smart App   June 21, 2025 As part of our Advanced Studio 1 project, our team explored how mobile technology can play a powerful role in reducing food waste and redistributing surplus food to those in need. With increasing concerns about sustainability and food insecurity, we saw an opportunity to use smart app features to build a solution that connects food donors (restaurants, supermarkets, households) with recipients (charities, shelters, and individuals). Key Insights from Our Discussion: 1. Real-Time Donation System A key app feature we discussed is real-time food listing , where businesses can quickly upload surplus food items with expiry times. Users near the location receive instant notifications for pickup—reducing the risk of waste. 2. Smart Matching Algorithm The app should match food donations with the closest verified recipient using filters like food type, quantity, dietary preferences, and pickup time. This improves eff...
