  XRP Insider (@xrpinsider2017) reported 15 seconds ago

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  @Halfords_uk I've now tried paying via PayPal. It processed the payment. I've had an email from PayPal confirming the payment, but your website (again) showed a basket empty error and the order isn't showing in my order history and no confirmation email. WTF is going on?

  @lql_00 Gosh that sucks, really sorry to hear that. This is seriously not okay at all, so many I heard having this issue unfortunately. I hope you can get it resolved asap. If you paid with PayPal under 6 months, try filing a refund through PayPal!!

  Booth itself accepts both foreign credit cards and paypal so that shouldn't be a problem either. It's a bit less convenient than buyee, but also has lower fees.

  @jmnationtv @PayPal @AskPayPal PayPal is such a joke. They did the same to me recently, permanent deactivation because my account is connected to a different account that has unsolved issues. Guess what - I have no other account that has any issues. I called them and they said it doesn't need to be my account that I was connected to, so it can be any random VGen user for example (wth by the way?!), so I can do nothing. I talked to 3 different customer support employees, all did nothing to help and couldn't even tell me any details as "privacy policy". At this point I gave up, but hope your case will be solved and that you can actually make a difference 🥺

  @rysorchid_ I actually don’t know because I do wanna take some commissions, but I can’t tell if they’re scammers, it scares the hell on me because I don’t want my PayPal to shut down because of them .

  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal We did $1.5 million/year via PayPal and 1.5 via Stripe until PayPal stopped sending us SMS login codes. Three calls over three weeks with PayPal support did not solve it. I unblocked all blocked numbers, O2 did an investigation and reported they're not blocking shortcodes and our account is working well and still able to receive money. Also waiting 72 hours before re-trying login (to reset the "you were deemed a "risk of hacking") doesn't work. So now we do 3 million/year with Stripe.. Support told us every time they'd let Dublin contact us but that never happened. Perhaps you can help us?

  @dbrand @robot I can't seem to be able to purchase your products with PayPal. Website broken, or payment backend changed?

  @johnofhousejohn I think it's a combo. Plugins being purchased by PE and devs rapid releasing. We had an issue with The Events Calendar Tickets. Literally couldn't setup PayPal. I may not like PayPal but they are a top online payments processor. Setting it up shouldn't be broken...

  Genius Business (@GeniusBusiness_) reported 17 minutes ago

  Jack Dorsey on why Square lends to businesses banks won't even look at: "We actually see their business." Asked what data justifies extending credit to a merchant a traditional bank would reject outright, Dorsey doesn't describe a better model. He describes a better position. "They use our register. They use our payments. They enter all their employees into our system. We see all their customers. We see their competition. We have a very deep understanding of how they're doing and who they are, and we don't make a judgment until we have a pretty strong understanding to make that risk assessment." A bank sees a business through the narrow aperture of a bank statement. Square sees the register, the payroll, the customer base, and the competition. The merchant runs the whole operation on Square's rails. Dorsey states the advantage plainly: "We've built our platform in such a way that we are the tool that's being used to run the entire business. So we have an advantage that others mostly do not." Outside data exists, but it's secondary: "Outside of our walls, we look at how sellers are engaging with Yelp or Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, or all these signals that people are sending around the world." And he immediately demotes it: "A lot of our assessment comes from our own understanding, our own data itself." The same instinct, own the surface where the activity actually happens shows up in Square Cash. "It's consistently broken into the top 20 free apps in the iOS App Store, which is a huge feat for a finance app. It's consistently been the number one above our competitors, Venmo and PayPal, over the past few months." Dorsey's explanation is that they refused to accept the category they were placed in: "We haven't seen it just as peer-to-peer. We've evolved past peer-to-peer and we've observed that people are using it as a spending device. And the more ability we add and the more capabilities we add to spend it in more places, the more adoption we see and the more retention we see." The sequencing was deliberate: "We started with the most critical thing, which is sending money between two people, and then we moved on to issuing a card that could be used online and offline." Sending money between two people is a feature. It is not, on its own, a business. The card is what converts a transfer utility into something people spend from and spending is where the surface widens. Square doesn't underwrite from a credit file, because it owns the register. Cash doesn't retain users through transfers, because it moved to own the spend. Worth noting what Dorsey doesn't say. Asked directly how Square makes money on peer-to-peer transfers, he answers with rankings, adoption, and retention never revenue. Read it as a tell either way: the monetisation is the card, or it hadn't been settled yet.

  @mdniamul0 the off-site paypal point is real, but don't assume every client-side setup misses the purchase..... many flows return to a confirmation page and fire correctly i'd compare paypal completed orders against browser purchase events first. if the gap is real, webhook/capi is the fix..... with a stable event_id so browser + server don't double count

  I had to pay a business today that did not accept BTC, had never even heard of ETH or XRP, and required payment by PayPal. I spent over 500 dollars on fees. What a broken and archaic system. Future generations will laugh at how inefficient we were… we are so early, even earlier than I thought.

  The Cursor SpaceXAI overlap is giving Venmo PayPal vibes. Are Cursor and Grok going to stay separate things? This is called Grok Bot but I'm getting routed to a Cursor login portal when I try to launch the Mac client? What we doin here fam? I'm confused as ****

  @PayPal does ur resolution Centre use AI or something. How can you refuse a claim for having a delivery of over 30kg of RAW DOG FOOD delivered rancid because they shipped it on a Friday so took 5days instead of next day to deliver and vender states not their problem as it a MEAL.
