Over a three-month period, J. Reiff enhanced the activemerchant/active_merchant repository by delivering three targeted features focused on payment gateway flexibility and internationalization. Reiff implemented an optional payment_type_code override for the EBANX gateway, enabling merchants to select non-default payment types during purchase and verification, and expanded country data support to reduce payment friction for cross-border transactions. In addition, Reiff improved CheckoutV2 payment flows by introducing robust payout handling and account name inquiry support, ensuring data safety and comprehensive test coverage. The work leveraged Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and API integration skills, emphasizing maintainability, backward compatibility, and reliable payment processing.
