The intent of the Chime Store is to remove the burden of knowledge of how to correctly format, route, process, and sequence financial messages with regard to customer-centric operations. Examples of such messages would be, authorization, inquiry, and settlement.
The store’s intended use is for testing, and to enable members of the Services org to validate various components of the Chime system. Ultimately the store will be available for anyone to use but its primary use will remain to test.
Main company needs
The Chime store’s primary purpose is to act as a merchant accepting credit/debit cards. There may be private APIs that need to be used in relation to a specific transaction, such as endpoints on GSimulator, but without an attempt to create or modify a user’s state.
