The brief
Mita Pay is a Nigerian fintech super app covering wallet balances, airtime and data purchases, bill payments, CAC business registration, and NIN/BVN identity verification. The product needed debugging, stable deployment on shared hosting, and a UI rebuild to match modern mobile-first fintech expectations.
The approach
The first phase of the work was almost entirely diagnostic: tracing and resolving a series of routing, middleware, autoloader, and missing-model issues that were quietly breaking parts of the application. Fintech products don't get to fail softly — a broken route or an unresolved model isn't a cosmetic bug, it's a payment that doesn't go through.
SMTP configuration was another piece of this: getting transactional email (verification, receipts, notifications) working reliably on iFastNet's shared hosting environment, which has its own constraints compared to a dedicated server.
Once the application was stable, the UI was rebuilt toward a MoniePoint-style, mobile-first layout — the visual language Nigerian fintech users already recognize and trust, applied consistently across the wallet, payments, and verification flows.
Where it stands
Mita Pay is deployed and running on iFastNet shared hosting, with the core routing and configuration issues resolved and the interface aligned with the mobile-first standard the fintech category expects.
