SWITCH Mini App - Travel Inside Your Wallet

A travel booking mini app that lives inside the SWITCH payment app, Iraq's electronic gate for financial services. SWITCH users book flights and hotels without leaving their wallet: the mini app opens with their SWITCH identity, searches live inventory and pays through SWITCH. Built mobile-first in English, Arabic and Kurdish.

Challenges

Challenges

  • Living inside another app: The mini app runs inside SWITCH's container, so it has to open with the user's SWITCH identity, respect the host app's navigation and never ask the user to log in again.

  • Payment through the wallet: Every booking is paid from the user's SWITCH balance, so pricing, holds and refunds have to line up exactly with the wallet.

  • Three languages on small screens: English, Arabic and Kurdish, including right-to-left layouts, on phone-sized screens only.

Our Approach

Our Approach

  • Token-based entry: The mini app accepts a signed token from SWITCH and opens straight into search; there is no separate account.

  • Mobile-first build: A lightweight Svelte app tuned for phones: fast first load, large touch targets, bottom sheets instead of pages.

  • Flights and hotels: Search, select, traveler details and confirmation, with e-tickets and vouchers delivered in-app.

  • Wallet payments: Booking totals charged through SWITCH with clear confirmation before any charge.

  • Maps and locations: Hotel results on a map, with nearby filtering.

Results

Results

The mini app is live inside the SWITCH app, putting flight and hotel booking in front of SWITCH's user base without a separate download or sign-up. It is the first travel product in Iraq delivered inside a payment super-app.

Future Plans

Future Plans

  • More travel services: Visas, eSIM and insurance inside the same mini app.

  • Offers for wallet users: Deals tied to SWITCH promotions and loyalty.

  • More super-apps: The same mini-app model for other wallets and platforms.

Conclusion

The SWITCH mini app shows CloudFares connecting financial technology with travel: booking where customers already are, paid with the money they already hold.
