About

Viber is an extremely popular Internet messaging and calling service. The application became popular right after its launch and was immediately named a Skype killer.

Challenge

Viber is known for its cheap phone calls worldwide. To make this service even more convenient for users, the company decided to develop a fully-functional and user-friendly self-service portal for managing payments and tariffs. To make this project possible, Viber Media has chosen VolgoTechnologies as a main technical partner with experience in web portal development..

Solution

Since Viber is one of the most popular call / messaging apps on the market, it was not a surprise that any module or feature had to be designed with a high load in mind. That is why VolgoTechnologies did the following

We ensured covering all the users by making frontend fully compatible with FireFox, Chrome, Safari, Explorer 8 and above. In addition, we have used jQuery and mediaQuery to make the portal convenient for Android, iOS and Windows Phone browsers.

Since the portal is dealing with personal information and money, it was important to protect users from possible frauds. That is why VolgoTechnologies has covered protection against XSS and CSRF attacks through tokens, processing incoming and outgoing data, blocking data loading to iframe, etc.

Staging

Staging a Billing Portal for Viber Messenger with 1B+ Users involves creating a user-friendly interface for managing payments and subscriptions while ensuring security and scalability. Here a structured approach.
