This is basically what Stripe does. The "CC Company" basically doesn't offer more than a simple yes/no API -- "approved w/ #" or "declined". It'd be great if they could do more, but that's where the opportunity for folks like Stripe lies.
- xhrpost 14y agoI guess it just surprises me that the CC companies don't do it themselves. Is the additional overhead of such a feature so high such as to warrant the choice between no payment processor (x% fee per transaction) vs. third party middle guy (x% + a bit more)? Not to mention the money the CC companies would save by not having so many fraudulent transactions (assuming they come out of their pocket, I honestly don't know).
