Art.sy selects Balanced to Power eCommerce Transactions
- zmitri 14y agoWould love to hear insight as to why they choose you guys over others.
- jareau 14y agoJoey, Art.sy's lead engineer, wrote this brief explanation on Quora a few weeks ago: http://www.quora.com/Balanced/Why-do-you-use-Balanced-for-payments/answer/Joey-Aghion http://www.quora.com/Balanced/Why-do-you-use-Balanced-for-pa...: We chose Balanced to support our marketplace at Art.sy for a few reasons: 1. They were highly recommended by other start-ups who had completed the integration. 2. Their focus on marketplaces aligned nicely with our needs (the escrow account they manage on our behalf, the account/identity validation they perform for our merchants, etc.). 3. They provided all the tools we wanted and none (or few) that we didn't: especially a javascript plug-in for seamless payment processing (without unnecessarily triggering PCI compliance), a self-service site for merchant registration, and their robust API in general. Also, it's worth mentioning that the development support I've received since choosing Balanced has been generous and prompt.
- whit537 14y agoWhoa! Nice! Gittip better up its game. :^)
- orta 14y ago(I work at Artsy, but not related to payments) I think it's worth shouting out that I'm really impressed by the help system over at Balanced. Being able to see the IRC logs at the top and knowing that I can just jump in at anytime and talk to either the devs or a good support team, really gives me confidence in their product. I wish anyone with an API learns from this and adds support like that. https://www.balancedpayments.com/help https://www.balancedpayments.com/help
- mahmoudimus 14y agoHmm, that link is having issues because ZenDesk is returning a bad payload. I'll fix it shortly.
- markhelo 14y agoWe here at Wello use Balanced as well and those guys are great to work with.
