There is an art to writing down customer payment card details.

Make sure you use post-it notes, they work best, you can stick the note to the wall in the middle of the office then everyone can see it clearly.

If this is still your business, itn't it time for a change?

Hi Tooters - I'm looking for your experiences of different ways of spending during European travel.

I'm hoping to write a blog post on the advantages & disadvantages of - for example - cash, credit cards, currency cards, phone payments, travellers cheques, and anything else.
Is cash still king?

What do you take on your travels? Have you ever had a big problem with your choices? What would you recommend to others?

Post suggested through [email protected]

Thanks for all the help - the blog is now up at https://gaylers.me/travel

#stripe now want photo and ID like passport. They want the full name on the account to match the full name on the passport.

I don't want this. Feels like surveillance not security. I don't trust them (as a US company, they have to give their data to Trump if he wants it).

Starting to look at alternative providers in EU (there are some) or UK (don't think there are any?) for taking online #cardPayments

"Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Estonia are rolling out offline card payment systems to provide a back-up if internet connections are lost, including due to sabotage, Bank of Finland board member Tuomas Valimaki said on Wednesday. ... Sweden's central bank told Reuters that it hoped to establish a system by July 1, 2026, that would allow Swedes to make offline card payments to buy essential goods in the event of disruptions lasting up to seven days."

Is contactless making eftpos outages worse?

The author discusses the increasing impact of eftpos outages due to the rise of digital payments and the loss of backup capabilities. This is attributed to the removal of redundancy in contactless transactions. Suggestions include attempting card insertion during outages and reconsidering zero floor limits for contactless and digital transactions to improve uptime.

I've been researching card payment and card product related security for some time. It's interesting and unfortunate how much difference there is in security related configurations what comes to card payments - even with same card issuer and sometimes the very same card product from the same issuer.

To me it is hard to argue that consumer could ever be liable for fraudulant card payments as there is near total lack of transparency on card product's security configurations. I'm not really suggesting that payment card security configurations would be bad either, it's just opaque and there are a lot of behavioral differences due to the setup of the whole ecosystem.

Looking for recommendations on a very specific project.

An PWA or iOS app that can work with a credit card swiper with a custom backend payment service. Open source preferred but all options are open at this point.

Fediverse do your thing…thank you!
