>It certainly doesn't cost 50,000$ to switch payment providers. Your argument is therefore invalid. Well, I certainly do apologize for "offending your intellect" and "wasting your time". But you seem to be missing that Braintree doesn't cut new startups a check over 50k. It's only the fees that are waived for the first 50k in revenue. As someone below calculated, new startups save about ~3k by signing up for this promotion. And yes, after a couple months of working on a code base, breaking your payments code apart just to fit the new API cant VERY quickly cost your 3k in dev cost. Half an hour payment downtime because you didn't plug things together just right? There go a few more k in revenue. And also if stating such isn't the deepest of insights, I don't really see a problem with that. You certainly felt that it wasn't a problem to state that startups can save 50k by signing up with Braintree, even though that is not only completely insane by any standard, it's also easily dis-proven by reading the above article.
