The reason I won’t back your KickStarter… even though I love it.
- kislayverma 14y agoSo now I'm thinking - is the solution to support multiple options or to own all pieces of functionality?
- chadillac83 14y agoI'm honestly not sure I can answer that. I could argue either direction. I think it boils down to how important the functionality is to your application. It seems like risky business to rely on a single third party for mission critical components of your operation. Also the assumption that ALL users you'll encounter will have an Amazon account is... optimistic. At least a payment service like PayPal offers a login or a blind CC processing option using the cards details. This lowers the bar, I've had a PayPal account for almost 10 years, I've processed multiple payments with it PayPal. In the past 4 years I haven't logged into my account to do so, I'll type in my actual card information rather than deal with remembering my password, recovering my password, updating my stored card information, etc.
- veezer 14y agoSo why don't you just sign up with a different email like Amazon suggests in their email?
- chadillac83 14y agoWell for one, I shouldn't need to. My account is healthy and in good standing across every other line of Amazon products. The ONLY service I use it for is currently KickStarter. To top it all off, I really don't care all that much. I just threw this post together after thinking about what adopting third party services for core features of my own future products and what unseen pitfalls that might entail.
