Challenges we ran into

  1. We tried testing the cashfree API by mistake on the prod due to which we coud'nt access the API. When we switched to the test version, we were able to work with the API.
  2. Retrieving the MCC( Merchant Client Code) against a upi-id was a challenging task. We integrated a qr-scanner for the same to retrive the MCC from the scanned data and then use it for categorising different expenses.
  3. While deploying on GCP we also faced a minor issue. The problem was that the Cloud Build API took 5-10 mins to get enabled due to which the "gcloud app deploy" command was not working.
