  Had about 50+ people reach out to me a couple of days ago on insta about private processing So let me break down some common questions Nr1: legal structure If you sell in the US, have a US llc setup This will increase your auth rates and opens a lot of new doors (Same goes for other markets - have a local setup) Nr2: what is “private processing” It is not some payfac Its having processing directly from an acquiring bank You go to an ISO and they talk to the bank and do the whole underwriting process In the end you have your own MIDs (merchant IDs) And you are the only store processing on it Way less wrongful shutdowns than on payfacs cause your data is not mixed with others Nr3: the checkout Its very simple… All you need is a CRM It will high jack the shopify checkout process You build a custom checkout or use pre made templates and connect your MIDs to the CRM Usually will need the MIDs to either be able to issue a VAR sheet or have the NMI gateway But its very common so no worries on that Nr4: the benefits I dont even know where to start lol - full control over your checkout (split test and run what ever you want) - unrestricted upsell flows - if you do mrr then you can own your subscription tokens - apple/google pay wallets + paypal - way less wrongful shutdowns - next day payouts - almost a 0% chance at losing access to all processing - smart rebill logic - built in tracking (sent directly to your ad platform) - no more headaches from SP bs I could go on but you get the point If you are still on SP in the big 2026 its time to rethink your backend Q4 is coming up and volume spikes cause a ton of volatility with SP shutdowns (Not the case on MIDs as you have a HUMAN to talk to) Don’t end up not being able to process payments during November Set this up even as a backup if you don’t want to fully switch Either way if you have any questions or want to get in touch with the right people… Send me a dm

  @DhawaleVikrant I really don't care People who are worried about CJP's foreign funding are the guys who think protest is illigitimate The cause is real, 25+ kids have died, this was 152nd paper leak under Pradhan. Over 1L kids have died in last 12 yrs. There are issues related to UGC implementation + resevation.... If these are regular thing for you then you don't want accountability or change and then you should spend your energy on finding source of funds Btw not a single $ can enter via traditional routes (WIRE, SWIFT, PAYPAL....) without govt knowing it. Crypto was a loophole which has been now completely plugged. All transactions have a purpose code. Govt knows everything They just behave retardedly for their retarded supporters

  @HopefulN7 @PayPal This is REALLY bad for international orders, where it can take WEEKS for a shipment to arrive. As PayPal USED to be the gold standard in consumer protection. Hell… we’ve had PayPal issue refunds to people making DONATIONS that earned a reward that was in preproduction. F That

  @LimzPicks @metrolosin @Betfred “he’s a liar but it’s not funny, if gambling has ruined his life then I don’t think we should be laughing at him, regardless of his errors” it’s literally this kind of empathy from complete strangers that is filling up his PayPal account with donations & because people don’t 4/.

  @PayPal Terrible customer service experience. Took 23 minutes to get to a human, who then recommended that I call a phone number that led right back to the same automated operator services. Please have a dispute department human employee contact me. Sending DM with details.

  This guy opened his PayPal and found $92 QUADRILLION in his account For exactly 2 minutes he was the richest man in human history His name is Chris Reynolds, a PR guy from Pennsylvania who used PayPal to sell vintage car parts and had never held more than $1,000 in his account Then in June 2013 his monthly statement arrived showing a balance of $92,233,720,368,547,800 That's over a million times the fortune of the richest man alive at the time and more than 1,000x the GDP of the entire planet It also showed up as a NEGATIVE number, meaning for a moment Chris technically owed the largest debt in human history He logged in to check and his real balance was $0.00 But that exact number wasn't random, it was a fingerprint of what broke inside PayPal's machines The biggest number a standard 64 bit computer can physically hold is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 Banks count money in cents instead of dollars to avoid rounding errors Treat that maximum number as cents, divide by 100, and you land almost exactly on Chris's balance His account didn't glitch to some random figure, it got pinned to the mathematical ceiling of what a computer can count The same type of error blew up Europe's Ariane 5 rocket 40 seconds after launch in 1996, the flagship of an $8 billion space program destroyed because a number didn't fit in its box And in 2012 one forgotten piece of old code cost trading firm Knight Capital $440 million in 45 minutes When reporters asked Chris what he would have done with the money, he said he'd pay off the entire US national debt and then buy himself a baseball team "If I get a great price" For 2 minutes he was worth more than every economy on Earth combined and it couldn't buy him a single coffee

  At the events we would take PayPal payments on my boss's phone. I had asked her several times over the years to add me as a PayPal contact because occasionally we would have connection issues due to the venue buildings or whatever and she wouldn't always be available to talk to them cuz she was coaching. Overall, she was a bit spacey and not very tech savvy like I've always been but I knew at some point this would be an issue. During covid, when we had a lot of events cancel and after doing my taxes, in my preparedness tendencies, I had the idea to put her SS# from my 1099 into my locked note app along with my family's info just in case we had another PayPal connection issue ever come up and they would ask for it for confirmation. Then I pretty much forgot about it.

  @_balaji_km The thing thats worrying investors is not about Uber going out of business, its more like not growing the profits in coming years, similar to Netflix, Paypal etc. NFLX : 40% up in last 5 years (325Mn users, 100Bn watch hrs) PYPL : 80% down in last 5 years (TPV: $1.79Tn in CY25)

  PayPal is putting explicit revenue targets on its three core units as new CEO Enrique Lores reviews the company’s strategy and pushes for faster execution. In April the payments firm reorganized around Checkout Solutions and PayPal, Consumer Financial Services and Venmo, and Payment Services and Crypto, with a single leader for each business to cut duplication and speed decisions. Lores said the goal is to sharpen focus, simplify operations and get closer to consumers after years of slower growth and margin pressure. The company has also set a cost savings target of at least 1.5 billion dollars over the next two to three years through AI, process redesign and structural realignment, with the savings reinvested into growth initiatives. For 2026 management is guiding to transaction margin dollars roughly flat to slightly down excluding interest, 3 percent growth in non transaction operating expenses, and non GAAP EPS in a range between slightly negative and slightly positive. The reset comes as PayPal tries to diversify beyond its traditional checkout business and rebuild momentum in higher margin areas. In Q1 2026 revenue rose 7 percent to 8.35 billion dollars and total payment volume grew 11 percent to 464 billion dollars, with Venmo and Braintree both delivering mid teens TPV growth and buy now pay later and pay with Venmo volumes up 23 percent and 34 percent. Q2 showed continued strength in those same units, with transaction margin dollars up 1 percent and up 3 percent excluding interest on customer balances, prompting the company to raise its full year outlook for TM dollars and EPS. Lores is emphasizing financial services as the largest driver of future TM dollar growth, expanding Venmo into a fuller financial platform, scaling PYUSD stablecoin which is now the largest federally regulated stablecoin, and partnering in AI commerce with Microsoft and others. At the same time the company returned 1.5 billion dollars to shareholders in the quarter and started a 14 cent quarterly dividend, while warning that macro pressure in Europe and competition from Big Tech and fintechs will keep the near term environment tough. - World Business News.

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."
