  A customer told us they couldn't pay an invoice yesterday. The account looked fine and the invoice was marked sent, so this would've been easy to chalk up to user error. Exa opened the actual customer portal. The invoice was there with Print and Download buttons… and no way to pay. Then it pulled a previous paid invoice from the same account and compared the payment options. The older one had PayPal, Stripe, and Zoho Payments attached. The new one had an empty gateway list. They never reached checkout because the invoice didn't offer one. We stopped there and routed the exact fix back for approval: attach the existing gateways and resend the corrected link. No test charge, no “try again” email, no guessing. I would've probably sent them a fresh copy of the same broken link. Seeing the portal exactly as the customer saw it changed the whole diagnosis.

  Chamath @chamath: the Stripe-PayPal bid is a shot across the bow for $V and $MA. That is the line that matters. The ~$60-per-share offer for PayPal is not really about PayPal. It is an attack on the card duopoly the market treats as untouchable. Here is the build. Stripe, Block ($XYZ), and Advent combine PayPal's 400-million-plus accounts with Stripe's roughly $2 trillion in payment volume and its risk and stablecoin stack. Sacks @DavidSacks sharpens the point: that scale enables far more **"on-us" transactions**, payments that settle inside the combined network and bypass Visa and Mastercard entirely. Every on-us transaction is interchange the networks never collect. The antitrust question turns on definition - call it merchant APIs and it is Stripe versus Braintree, blocked. Call it the card duopoly and it is pro-competitive. The consensus this cuts against: Visa and Mastercard trade as forever-compounders with an unbreakable toll on every swipe. Bill Gurley @bgurley made the same argument we heard here in June, that Visa's moat is "unjustified" and priced as if it can never be disrupted. This deal is the first credible disruption vector, not a PowerPoint. Implication: this is a slow-burn short-bias thesis on $V and $MA interchange, not a same-week trade. The networks do not lose volume tomorrow. But a vertically integrated rail with 600-to-700 million combined accounts changes the terminal-value story the multiple rests on. If you are long the networks for the moat, the moat just got a named challenger with $2T of volume behind it. Watch the deal's market-definition fight - that ruling decides whether the on-us threat is real or blocked at the starting line.

  New piece on Stripe, Advent, and PayPal. Less about who's buying, more about a question nobody's asking: how does the PE firm get out? (Skip the first 2 sections if you only want to read about the exit problem)

  Anyone else think @Ticketek_AU site is a joke? 6min countdown timers… first world problems, but had awesome tickets to Bryan Adam’s, went through PayPal for payment, by the time it finalised timer was over so didn’t register. Took my money, no tickets. Money was refunded about 20min later - got tickets, same price, nowhere near as good seats. Whichever bright spark put a 6min timer should be fired. Shittest customer experience ever

  saw the Stripe/PayPal headlines earlier this week, but didn’t really double-click into what the deal could mean for fintech more broadly thought the @theallinpod did a great job breaking it down on this week's episode some interesting points: this would be a quick way for Stripe to get access to 400M+ consumer accounts I didn’t realize Block was also in the mix.. combine their point-of-sale network with Stripes merchants, Cash App, Venmo, Braintree, etc. and all of a sudden you have nearly the entire payments stack put all of that on stablecoin rails and you could have a real competitor to Visa and Mastercard (Stripe closed their acquisition of Bridge in 2025) if more payments stay within that network, merchants could save a lot on fees and some of that could eventually make its way to consumers they also drew an interesting parallel to newer, AI-native teams buying huge internet businesses that have stalled and trying to bring them back to life, similar to what Bending Spoons has done $PYPL is down 80%+ from its 2021 peak, and even @DavidSacks (PayPal mafia) joked that the product looks almost the same as it did when he was there 20+ years ago link to the pod below

  HALF PRICE BROOKLYN N5 TICKET🚨 (originally bought on resale) I’m still trying to sell this ticket and I’m dropping it down to half the price i bought it for! Down from $1095 to $550 + paypal g&s plus rate conversion fee (to australian dollars). You would have to meet me at Barclays so I can let you into the venue because my australian TM account is having issues transferring tickets. I think this would be a good opportunity to meet people as I’m not from here either! Please only reach out if you are fully aware of the seat location and price and process. I’m not dropping down any further x.

  @AskPayPal For those interested here was the resolution after talking to Chat. They said it was an internal Zettle glitch that they are trying to resolve. But they don’t know when, so they will add my case to that ticket. So, no there is no resolution currently.

  @FinanceNinjaB @DavidSacks Paypal’s biggest issue is its brand name is on a decline - similar to eBay in warly 2020’s. They have solid foundation but a lot of headwind in growth. Not sure if they can get the process targrt you are looking for with the current state.

  @JaySekulow Please fix your donation system. Either use Apple Pay or allow auto fill for credit cards. It’s frustrating. No one is going to go track down their credit card and I definitely don’t use PayPal.

  @unnuovoinizio1 @antoninaodesssa @tatyanaodesssa I attempted to send money via PayPal. However, as I mentioned before, transfers from Japan result in an error. This has been happening for some time. It is a problem unique to Japan and serves as one of the barriers to support for Ukraine from the Japanese people. Are there any other ways to send money?

  Absolutely amazing @PayPal. So you can not reply to a chat for over 20mins between messages. But after 2 mins of me not replying you end chat totally. Used to message when get a message from you. Don’t even do that now. Considering issue I have what is going on with your company

  @AskPayPal I've never had a worse CSR experience with any company in my life, than I had with PayPal this week. And my issue is still not resolved, so I will have to muster up enough humanity to deal again with people who are not motivated to help me solve my problem.

  Broken GA4 sessions? Check referral exclusions. Payment gateways like Stripe/PayPal redirect users back to your site — GA4 counts it as a new session and wipes your source. Fix: add payment domains to your unwanted referrals list. 4 minutes. #GA4 #Ecommerce

  US indices all closed green last night, but same as ever, the calm tape hid a split market. the hottest name was PayPal: a reported ~$53B takeover bid from Stripe + Advent ($60.50/share) sent it +17% on record volume. the twist everyone's pointing at: "the real prize is Venmo." the coldest corner was AI hardware. Dell led down -9.8% (touched -14% intraday), and SanDisk, Micron, HPE, Supermicro and AAOI (-13%) all got dumped with it. but the selling stayed concentrated in high-beta AI hardware, and mega-caps like Apple and Google masked it, so the Nasdaq still closed green. and the extreme end: Lucid ripped +29% after denying a report it was weighing going private or Chapter 11. Hong Kong ran hot too, Hang Seng +1.4%, Tencent +3.9%, Meituan +5.3%. bottom line: the index looks calm, but underneath the money's swapping seats fast, some chasing buyout targets, some fleeing AI hardware, some betting on a distressed bounce.
