Felix reduced payment latency by 50% in an 8-week migration. Here's how they did it: hubs.la/Q04yc4cm0

Before: One processor. One point of failure. One price you're stuck with. After: transactions rerouted automatically. Approvals recovered. Real leverage on rate. The bridge? A vault that isn't tied to a single processor. hubs.la/Q04v-h5B0

Ordering over the phone feels nostalgic. But for many travel agencies and legacy merchants, it's just Tuesday. 📞 Here's what you actually need to know about storing card data on paper, and how to stop doing it. hubs.la/Q04fJkh90

Basic BIN data tells you who issued a card 👀 BIN intelligence tells you how to use it, before any authorization is submitted 🧠 Kevin Mayes on how payment teams are implementing BIN intelligence 👇 hubs.la/Q04lJksk0

Processor says approved. Fraud tool says flag. Inventory says out of stock. Three systems. No coordination. That's why authorization rates suffer, not because of your PSP. Non-processor endpoints, sequenced correctly, fix this. hubs.la/Q046y7-L0

Your payment service provider (PSP) got you to market fast. 🌎 But if your tech stack doesn't cross borders, it's not a payments strategy, it's a ceiling. hubs.la/Q04fJDLv0

⚠️ Monthly BIN snapshots create a gap, and that gap can cost a merchant a transaction. With Basis Theory's Bank Identification Number (BIN) service now pulling from 18 months of continuously merged data, if a BIN has been seen, the details come back. ✅ hubs.la/Q04l0z9g0

Visa's Digital Commerce Authentication Program (DCAP) matters to a merchant. Kevin Mayes on what DCAP is, and three ways to implement it! hubs.la/Q04kJ61r0

Accepting digital wallets, surfacing stored payment methods instantly, and keeping systems available when traffic spikes are table stakes for shoppable ads. Here's what it takes to make shoppable ads actually convert → hubs.la/Q04fHqwM0

Adding a second PSP is smart. 👍 Paying twice for the same features is not. ❌ Account Updater, Network Tokens, and 3DS... Move them to the vault level, and the math changes entirely. 🔄 hubs.la/Q04fld_n0

When payments work, nobody notices. When they stop, everyone looks at you. 👀 That's the reality of running payments. Whether you are working towards this role or currently have it, you'll wish this playbook existed sooner. hubs.la/Q04hSWw50

Good documentation isn't a nice-to-have. It's part of the product. No assumed context, and no gaps that require a call to fill. That's what vendor documentation should look like. hubs.la/Q047-bBl0 #DeveloperExperience #TestingAPIs #Payments

There's one field in every auth response that most merchants overlook 🔍 The Network Transaction ID (NTID) is assigned by the card network during authorization and serves as proof of cardholder consent. Worth a read. 👇 hubs.la/Q04fldCz0

Treat documentation as a product deliverable. Follow our best practices 👇👇 hubs.la/Q047-5zl0 #DeveloperExperience #MerchantPayments #API

Your PSP bundles vaulting, credential management, auth, and routing together. Not because those functions are inseparable, but because bundling them makes it harder to leave. Vault first. hubs.la/Q046y8zy0

If you're running multiple PSPs, there's a good chance you're paying for the same features more than once. 💸 Account Updater. Network Tokens. 3DS. BIN Data. There's a better way to think about this. 🛒 hubs.la/Q04fk-n40

March shipped fast. Portal v2 ⚡ Isolated test environments 🧪 Elements v3 beta 🚀 The March changelog is worth a read. hubs.ly/Q04dlxjF0
