Abstract : The concept of implementing an extended model of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based payment system at Rwanda's stadiums presents an innovative solution to enhance both the customer experience and operational efficiency. This technology will eliminate long queues at payment points, allowing customers to bypass ticketing delays and save valuable time. By utilizing RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, the system enables the simultaneous scanning of multiple personal e-cards, automatically displaying card details and balances on an LCD screen. This ensures that customers can easily monitor their payment status, reducing any potential confusion. The primary objective of this research is to design and implement an IoT-based stadium payment system for "Pere Stadium," located in Nyamirambo Sector, Nyarugenge District, Rwanda. The proposed system is subscription-based and introduces a new form of digital payment for stadium services. It integrates an RFID reader, a database, and RFID cards, requiring customers to register with the stadium's administrator. Registration involves providing essential details, such as names, contact information, and funds to be loaded onto the card, which can be replenished after use. Upon registration, customers can access the stadium, and their RFID cards will be scanned at entry points to process payments. If the card's balance is insufficient, entry will be denied until the customer replenishes their funds with the assistance of stadium agents. The system will automatically update the database with each transaction, ensuring real-time record keeping.
