They also deploy Android, iOS, Java, Python, Node.js, Phonegap, and HTML5. For payments, they integrate Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. AWS, Amazon Web Services, and CRM platforms like Vtiger feature in their implementations. WooCommerce and payment gateway integrations suggest e-commerce expertise.
