Based on the feedback received from the students that were interviewed, it was unanimously affirmed that online payment websites/applications provide convenience. With HustlePay, students avoid long queues, save money on transportation just to go to university and be entertained, and utilize their time more effectively because they can complete various tasks, such as cleaning their house/boarding houses, completing assignments, studying, or even resting instead of waiting in long line just to pay their accountabilities. Furthermore, the staff, faculty, and council officers responsible for collecting payments have expressed their willingness to utilize the services. Seemingly, all stakeholders of CMU not only the faculty as far as convenience is concerned communicated their assertions. These findings support the hypothesis that online payment systems offer convenience and it further strengthened the team for implementing an online payment system. HustlePay aims to exclusively address the convenience needs expressed by the CMU community. This platform will facilitate online payment transactions that links with Gcash, Paymaya and other payment tools for an efficient dynamics of paying accountabilities. An option for the team to ensure a smooth rollout of the service is to start with a website as a first step. This approach allows for a controlled and manageable development process. However, it is acknowledged that there may be potential issues such as site crashing that could occur during high traffic periods. Therefore, the team remains open to further developing the platform into a dedicated application, provided that sufficient resources and expertise are available to ensure its development and maintenance. By creating HustlePay, CMU aims to provide an efficient and user-friendly solution for bill and fee payments. Throughout this process, the team have learned important lessons, such as thinking broadly and empathizing with the experiences of students and faculty at CMU. Understanding the problem and taking responsibility for the proposal are key aspects that have been recognized, along with the critical evaluation of validation, which is crucial for the success of the project. By applying these lessons, the team can confidently move forward with the creation of HustlePay, ensuring that the needs of CMU's community are met and that the development process remains guided by empathy and critical thinking.
