Integrating Cryptocurrency and Fiat Payments for a Serverless Water Billing System on Hyperledger Fabric Serverless Water Billing System on Hyperledger Fabric

This research investigates the integration of modern payment methods into a serverless water billing system leveraging Hyperledger Fabric. Following the successful implementation of real-time water consumption tracking on a blockchain network, this study aims to incorporate cryptocurrency payments through Coinbase Commerce and fiat payments via PayPal, thereby expanding payment options and enhancing system flexibility. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility, security, and efficiency of these payment systems within a decentralized billing framework. By offering cryptocurrency as an alternative for users favouring digital assets, while ensuring broader accessibility through PayPal, this research addresses the diverse needs of users. Additionally, it delves into the technical integration of these payment methods, focusing on transaction security, scalability, and user experience within the blockchain environment. Ultimately, this study aspires to develop a comprehensive model for modernizing water billing systems, incorporating secure, flexible, and efficient payment solutions that enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
