Method and apparatus for efficient programming of electronic payment processing

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to efficient programming and configuring of electronic payment process. An example method includes receiving programming language-based descriptions each describing a distinct functional operation usable to implement the electronic payment process, compiling each programming language-based description into a distinct computer-executable code segment that corresponds to a state of a finite state machine. The method also includes determining transition relationships between states of the finite state machine based on the logic flow of steps of the electronic payment process, generating a state transition table for storing in a cache of a computer-based electronic payment system implementing the finite state machine, and configuring the finite state machine by retrieving the state transition table from the cache at runtime.
