Payment Approved

An iPhone point-of-sale app for people new to taking payments: key in an amount, then take credit, debit, cash or a check

Overview

Payment Approved was an Austin payments company that wanted an iPhone app for taking money in person: card, cash or check, with a receipt by email.

Between late August and December 2013 my team at Rocksauce took it from a competitive review to a logic map, a 61 page tap-through prototype, a mood board, four home screen directions, a logo, and 51 production screens.

Four versions of the app's home screen with square tiles or round buttons under a charcoal or green navigation bar. — Fig. 1: Four home screen directions: square or round buttons, charcoal or green bar.

Four phone screens: taking a check with front and back photos, a routing number prompt, a cash payment and the change due. — Fig. 3: Taking a check and taking cash.
