Hello everyone!
I'm new in this arduino world and I would like to know if anybody could help me out building a prototype to switch a relay based on a successfull transaction made through Android and Apple Pay.
Is this possible?... If so, anyone is interested in helping me solve this issue?
Regards,
Pablo
Why would someone want to pay money to activate a relay?

Robin, thanks for you answer and interest in my topic.
The relay is to allow a cleaning machine to start. So this will be a replacement for coins unlock for the same machine.
Hope this gives a better idea for others to help me out.
Regards,
Pablo
I would strongly recommend that you use an approved app or web page for the payments and then use something like a JSON "web service" to present the response which could be accessed via an ESP, though your web service needs to be encrypted and readable by the ESP.
You could make a basic Diffie Hellman key exchange and then MD5 the data and salt it according to the key as a basic 2 way encryption. FYI in real life these numbers generated would be extremely large prime numbers.
Lol sorry for the childish picture but it explains the basic process well.
Does 'Apple Pay' have anything like the PayPal IPN? (Instant Payment Notification)..
or any sort of API?
