The way a business like Billie works is this:
A business buyer goes to a merchant's ecommerce platform catering for B2B and buys goods.
At the checkout, the buyer chooses Billie as a payment method, and checks out via our
widget on the merchants site. Upon shipment, the merchant tells us this, and is paid
immediately. Billie also issues an invoice to the buyer. The buyer is then invoiced
from Billie and they pay the invoice
At this point, we have built an API to map simple organisations, but not much else.
There are a lot of features still to build!!!
- Adding an address to an organisation
- Issuing an invoice for the buyer once the merchant notifies us the goods have been shipped
- Once the buyer has paid the invoice, there needs to be the ability to mark the invoice as paid
- The ability for the merchant to notify us of shipment of an order, so they can get paid
We will tackle some of these cases as part of the pairing exercise
In order for you to prepare for the pair programming we need you to be familiar
with the code we've already got in this repository.
Please make a fork of this repo and add *one* feature from the list above and
send us a link to your repo. This tells us you've worked in the code and are
familiar with it. We are excited to see your solution that introduces you
as a smart and skilled engineer. We like high success rates for our pairing
sessions and history tells us that is much more likely if a candidate has
familiarity with the code already and tried to solve a problem which might be
met in FinTech.
Strong hint: we are fans of TDD, pairing and continuous deployment.
We assume that you have docker, docker compose, and Java 15 installed, and can run gradle
Running the tests:
cd <project_root>
docker compose up database -d
gradle flywayMigrate
gradle clean build

The service runs in the host right now. Feel free to fix that if it makes your life easier
