There are opportunities that are lost with a 48hr payment vs something that notifies/authorises in "real-time" (even if the actual settlement only happens later).
In particular, if you don't capture geolocation data within a few seconds of a payment, it becomes irrelevant.
- pbreit 11y agoIsn't the 48 hours for settlement but the auths are happening in (near) realtime?
- toomuchtodo 11y agoYes.
- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoThe cool thing is if you have a card that sends push notifications. Because they go through your bank they often arrive faster at your phone than the transaction settles on the terminal. I had a magical moment where I saw a charge on my card before the ticket machine saw it, and then it failed to print a ticket because it was out of paper and before the error came up, i already got a push notification that the money was reimbursed. Networks are fast.
