stripe-based store XD
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Yess I am willing to trade off developer friendliness. Have you personally used stax or any of these archaic platforms?
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Yes, want to understand the trade off and would like to know what the challenge is in integrating directly with a payment provider that is closer to the networks / banks. I love Stripe for how easy it is to get started with but I am looking for opportunities to save cost further but getting closer to the acquirer
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Interesting, have you also tried online payments (card not present) with them? If so how is the reliability in that case?
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Curious: you must have done a lot of groundwork to provide the whole stack as a solution, would love to hear from you how you internally select the processors you work with. Or are you directly integrated with banks and card networks?
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Exactly my concern, I'm basically looking to get a service provider that is as close to card networks or banks as possible. Not looking at which one is "pretty" at all. Willing to work with that provider to integrate them with my website

Twitter where? link pls
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
This seems more like a merchant of record partner though
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
I currently operate only in US and I am willing to put in the effort for integration, PCI compliance etc. Do you have any recommendations for the local processors you mentioned?
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Super interesting, is this available in the US?
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Hey I was referring to accepting payments online on my website. So this is the payment processing fees I was referring to
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Is this also available in the US?
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Adyen is a good option, however they have a monthly fixed fee ($120) and looks like they might not onboard small merchants with less than $50M ARR
NavyG··on Ask HN: What are some low cost payment processing alternatives to Stripe?
Has anyone used Helcim or Stax? These processors pricing seems to be around $0.15 per transaction. If this is true why don't so many people use it?
NavyG··on I won't pay on your website
Dropdowns are kinda better for mobile though
NavyG··on I won't pay on your website
Yeah it does not make sense to pass on every error message to the customer but don't these error codes get logged on the console anyways?
NavyG··on I won't pay on your website
Does the vagueness of the error message have something to do with reducing frauds?

Haha reminds me of the one we made this year proposing adding barter system as a payment method to our processor: https://github.com/juspay/hyperswitch/issues/825, fun times :P
NavyG··on The Inverse Conway Maneuver
Well yes but actually no. I don't think teams necessarily have to be full stack because it depends on the domain / modules around which the team is organized
NavyG··on Don’t open the details in a modal window, have it be a separate page
> Modal windows can't be bookmarked or shared as links

We use modal windows specifically for this reason (for our payment application's checkout page).

Also using a modal significantly improves the checkout experience in case of SDK flows for payment methods like Klarna, Google pay etc.

Personally I feel modal windows are better aligned to the user's flow of attention. We also have redirection flows for these payment methods to open the authentication page in a new tab but we pick the modal flow ever single time for a better experience.

You can get a feel of what I'm talking about over here: https://demo-hyperswitch.netlify.app/checkout

NavyG··on Tokenization: Savior or Hidden Menace?
How can the network be allowed to still process transactions on you card after expiry? There must be some additional step involved
