Payments aren't harder than database drivers. The industry just never standardized it. While we were inspired by previous initiatives on similar lines: active-merchant (Ruby), omnipay (PHP) - we also ensured that Prism is

(I) Polyglot ready: The protobuf spec is made as the interface, allowing for extensions across many programming languages . (II) Flexible to use: Dual deployment mode (embedded and gRPC from the same core). Also PCI compliance can be managed by the user, or outsourced to a PCI compliant third party. (II) Hardened with real traffic: We extracted the integrations from a production-grade payment orchestrator at scale, and did not design from scratch. And we will continue to use it in production with regular updates, similar to how we have been consistently delivering for the last 4 years on Juspay hyperswitch - open source payment platform.

Ask me anything..

manojr13··on How I repeatedly made it to GitHub Trending list
More contributors to the opensource project
manojr13··on Refactoring Stripe's API for front end access
Interesting solution to a pertinent problem. If I want to use this solution in the subscription workflow, is it mandatory that one uses the same APIs for the customer login use case also?
manojr13··on No code payments automation is a lie
Thats the goal of the post. No solution will cover every problem for scaled up businesses; hence no-code is always a myth and code needs to be written.

The larger goal of the payment solution is not be be fully complete and call itself as the one-and-only no code. It is to create open source and reusable code to avoid the repetitive work for developers..

manojr13··on Usage Based Pricing Done Right
Got it
manojr13··on Americans spent more on legal cannabis in 2022 than chocolate
Chocolates, Coffee are equally harmful frequently self-administered addiction drugs. So why compare with them?
manojr13··on Usage Based Pricing Done Right
"Transactional models are flexible pricing where customers only pay for what they have used during the period. In the UB subscription model, customers commit to their desired level of usage."

How does that make usage based pricing better than transactional? Is it because the commitment in UB pricing will reduce the unit price comparatively?

What?? Why was this even built? To scam users by collecting credit cards?
manojr13··on Google Cloud region currently down due to water intrusion
Let's the servers cool down for sometime. Might have been working very hard.
manojr13··on Payments 101 for a Developer
Yes. The devil is in the details. Small businesses should better opt for a merchant on record who can manage all such complexity.

Fednow has the potential to create a similar UPI like impact on US
manojr13··on Payments 101 for a Developer
That would be a payments switch like https://hyperswitch.io/
manojr13··on Payments 101 for a Developer
Agree. But covered cards because it is the most complex form of payment with a lot of intermediaries. So understanding the longest path, will help to prepare as developer for payments industry
manojr13··on Payments 101 for a Developer
It is indeed explained through eight steps in the second half of the article
manojr13··on Payments 101 for a Developer
Absolutely. Just trying to tame such devils using open source and community as the tools
manojr13··on Payments 101 for a Developer
What would that be?
