As a braintree customer, this deal does give me cause for worry since I jumped to Braintree because of paypal.
However realistically, since all of our production code is already completed and tested against Braintree, we are not going to switch unless they do something really dumb like close their api.
For me as long as Braintree continues:
+ Using their 'vault' for credit cards
+ Continues having a great api
+ Continues have great customer service.
I'm going to watch and see what happens.
- Aqua_Geek 13y agoI worry that PayPal might change the “Take your vaulted cards to another processor” policy… If they do, it’s going to cause a lot of headaches for customers.
- jusben1369 13y agoThis is one of the major value propositions with Spreedly. Independently vault your cards.
- palidanx 13y agoWell that assumes that the business owner wants to switch out of Braintree. But you are right that if Paypal closes the garden, you are stuck in that silo. But on the other hand, it isn't so different than being walled into AWS for instance in terms of production impact time.
- Aqua_Geek 13y agoIt’s not the code changes or downtime you have to worry about — it’s convincing all of your customers to enter their billing details again (if you can’t get the vaulted cards transferred).
