How to create a split payment system in Adalo?

Step 1: Sign Up and Log In

First things first, if you don't have an Adalo account, go ahead and create one. Once you're all set, log into your dashboard.

Step 2: Create a New App

Head over to the "Create New App" button on your Adalo dashboard. You can pick a template or start from scratch. For this example, let's go with a blank app.

Step 3: Define Your Collections

Now, let's set up your database. You'll need to create some collections. Two key ones are 'Users' and 'Payments'.

  • Users: Add fields like email and name.
  • Payments: Add fields like amount, payer ID (linked to Users), payee ID (also linked to Users), and approved (Boolean).

Step 4: Set Up Payment Gateway

To handle payments, you'll need to integrate a payment gateway like Stripe:

  • Go to the "Components Marketplace" in the Adalo dashboard.
  • Search for the Stripe component and install it.
  • Configure it with your Stripe account API keys.

Step 5: Design Your Screens

Time to design your app screens:

  • Payment Form Screen: Users enter payment details and select the payee.
  • Payment Confirmation Screen: Shows payment details for confirmation.
  • Payment Success Screen: Lets users know the payment was successful.

Step 6: Build Payment Logic

On the Payment Form screen:

  • Add fields for amount and a dropdown for selecting the payee.
  • Use actions to capture the payer's ID from the logged-in user.

On the Payment Confirmation screen:

  • Summarize the payment details for confirmation.

Step 7: Automate Payment Processes

Set up the payment process using Adalo actions and workflows:

  • When the user submits the payment form, trigger an action to call the Stripe API for processing the payment.
  • Capture the payment result and update the Payments collection.

To split the payment:

  • Use Adalo's "Custom Actions" to perform API calls to a server (could be your custom backend) that will manage and split the payment amount between the payer and payee.

Step 8: Display Payment History

Create a Payment History Screen:

  • Add a list component to show payments related to the logged-in user.
  • Filter the list based on payment status and relationships to either payer or payee.

Step 9: Test Your App

Before you launch, make sure to test the split payment system thoroughly. This includes:

  • Ensuring payments are processed correctly.
  • Validating the splitting logic.
  • Making sure all related data is saved and displayed correctly in the app.

Step 10: Publish Your App

Once everything looks good, go to the Adalo dashboard and publish your app for users to access.
