About

Peerbits is proud to develop an app which acts as a platform for both salon service providers and the customers. Now there is no need to wait in the queue for a haircut. This mobile app directly enables you to book an appointment with your favourite hairdresser. Once booked, you may either go to the service provider’s salon or the service provider can come to your place.

There’s an app each for service provider and the user. Both the apps have their salient features which give immense benefits to their respective parties. This app allows you to pay for the services by both the modes: Offline and Online. Once the user has booked for an appointment, he/she can cancel or reschedule it as per his/her convenience.

The Challenge

The client wanted us to incorporate multiple currencies in the app including their conversion rates which was a challenge. Moreover, client also wanted to keep Euro as the base currency. So, our developers have to accomplish these two tasks ensuring that there is no compromise with the quality and performance of the app.

The Solution

To pull-off these challenges our developers integrated third party API for currency conversion. Along with it they ensured that the base currency was Euro. Additionally, the developers ensured that the API was called every 24 hours to calibrate the conversion rate with the new and updated rates of different currencies.
