Some processing companies include interchange as revenue and some don't. If Square does, then they still have ~$110,000 / day in revenue, and what you're calculating is their profit. But you're still right that they have high variable costs

Dan from Braintree here. I think a QA team would be valuable; we just don't have one right now. To answer your rhetorical question, regression bugs aren't the only type of bug, but they're one of the most dangerous in a payments system. If

We'd love to go into more detail on our thoughts about the future of payments, but we'd like to take adequate time to articulate them well. Maybe we'll do a blog post about this soon.

For a clear disclosure, you work for FeeFighters and as such your comments regarding our customers (I work for Braintree) may not be completely impartial. Edit: thanks for the edit.

From link 2: "I have only heard of one application of JS crypto that made sense, but it wasn’t from a security perspective. A web firm processes credit card numbers. For cost reasons, they wanted to avoid PCI audits of their webservers, but

The PCI DSS does differentiate between handling encrypted data and handling unencrypted data -- some requirements are only in scope if handling unencrypted data. It's important to note that Transparent Redirect doesn't remove the need for a

You can use Puppet without doing all of that. At Braintree, we use Capistrano to upload a tarball of our Puppet scripts and run the puppet command. sudo puppet --templatedir $HOME/puppet/templates --factpath $HOME/puppet/facts puppet/puppet

At Braintree we pair program almost all of the time. There are some small tasks that people will do solo, but 99% of the development on our payment gateway ( http://getbraintree.com ) is done in pairs.

failquicker and fredjiles both make some valid points. There are arguments for including as much billing information as possible, and arguments for collecting the bare minimum. The optimal approach varies from merchant to merchant, and indu

Are there any other disadvantages of this approach other than the problem with "Service Appliances"? Many REST APIs rely on HTTP headers for other things - do "Service Appliances" only remove non-standard headers?

by dan_manges 16y ago
If the header is missing you could return a 4xx response. You could document that the header is required or return a message in the response body indicating the cause of the 4xx.
