Creating your first app without being a developer: Steffen's feedback

Creating an application is often perceived as a complex project, reserved for developers or highly technical profiles. However, some creators simply set out with an idea in mind... and a lot of questions. It was during an exchange with the support team that we discovered Steffen Trawinski's story. In developing his first app with GoodBarber, Steffen wanted to share his experience, precisely to help others overcome their doubts and project themselves more serenely into the creation of an application. With no prior development experience, he designed and published TalkBoost, now available on the App Store (and could just as easily be offered on Google Play, thanks to GoodBarber technology). In this interview, Steffen talks about his background, motivations and feedback.

Stripe Extended: new payment services for your eCommerce app

The payment stage is often the most sensitive part of the online purchasing process. It's here that hesitations arise and cart abandonments multiply. The reason for this? Every customer has their own habits and preferences, and if their preferred payment method isn't available, they're likely to abandon their purchase. To maximize sales, it's essential to offer the payment methods best suited to your audience. A checkout aligned with local practices is not a detail, it's a direct conversion lever. The eCommerce apps created with GoodBarber already integrate a wide choice of payment methods, to meet the most common uses. This offer is regularly enriched, to keep pace with changing habits and enable everyone to adopt the solutions preferred by their customers. Today, new services complete the existing list and further extend the possibilities.
