The webinar featured a live demonstration of the e-commerce API, extensively showcasing its functionality and benefits to businesses and consumers.
Over 100 attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with MMG’s team of experts, which included Deson Alleyne, Systems Administrator at MMG who conducted the presentation.
Public figures and well-known developers Rowen Willabus and Carl Handy also joined as panelists in partnership with MMG to show support for this initiative.
“Kudos to the MMG team… we really appreciate you and thank you for creating a warm space for us [developers],” Rowen Willabus stated.
This initiative was the first of its kind in Guyana and it was positively received by all attendees of the webinar. Efforts will be continued by the MMG team to remain close to the developer community to further enhance the e-commerce landscape in Guyana through future collaborations.
In closing remarks, Timal-Tatkan also encouraged the developers to target local businesses to provide them with the tools and talent to help them digitalise their payment options.
