Hi, sure. 

 

I started that convo and ended up going with an Aeron 
http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/performance-work-chairs/aeron-chairs.html
 - so far it's amazing. Never even notice it's there vs my chair at work which 
causes me regular lower back pain.

 

Other options included the Steelcase Leap 
http://www.steelcase.com/products/office-chairs/leap/

 

I can't remember any others these were two top two for me.

I know there was a thread on office chairs here not so long ago and I remember 
Greg Low and a few others recommend a particular brand which I had intended to

just send (off or on list) that chair recommendation again please?

Re-request - Office chair again

RE: PayPal Integration

[Paul Glavich]

Well we have had no complaints thus far (it is in beta atm), in fact we have 
received some really great feedback (giving in the range of 7-9 out of 10).

 

In terms of paypal, it looks like we have to use it for hosting so when we get 
to that part, it will probably involve a redirect to a hosted payment page. We 
provide verbiage stating our security involved and specifically not doing 
anything with the payment details and letting the respective sites handle all 
that. Again, so far so good.

 

In addition to this, a lot of customers have requested recurring payments and 
having their details saved by us. By details, they mean their credit card 
details so that we can re-use. The implementation of this seems secondary to 
them and they are opting for convenience and assuming security. Again, we don’t 
store any payments/credit card details and never will but these requests from 
customers don’t even mention paypal and/or secure storage, they just assume it.

I think this says something about perception in general though. In addition, we 
have had the odd payment gateway failure here (we use TNSI locally) and when it 
happens we actually have customers email through their entire credit card 
details (yes name, date, card no and CCV) to our accounts team to pay their 
monthly bill because they could not be bothered with the hassle of retrying 
later or perhaps left it too late or something. Yes, it is a thing. Smart 
business people are doing this.

 

Bottom line out of all this (for us anyway) is convenience seemingly trumps 
security, security is a given. I guess until something happens that is security 
related.

Totally agree with Greg here. Unless you are a major site that I somewhat 
"trust" (as if) I won't purchase if there is no paypal option that goes to 
paypal.

Hi Glav,

 

Do you find that customers are happy entering their details into a form on your 
site?

 

As a consumer, I’d be happier entering details directly into a PayPal, Stripe, 
eWay, etc. site. Otherwise, how do I have any idea how you are handling them?

 

It’s one of the reasons that I’m seeing more customers wanting to use PayPal. 
At least their card details are only stored on a single site.

 

Regards,

 

Greg

Yep. We have recently integrated with Stripe, Braintree and eWay. Out of all 
three, Braintree and stripe are the easiest. eWay has a lot of redirecting 
going on. Braintree and stripe client portions are very good. eWay’s 
site/portal is a little messy while the others I found more straightforward.

 

Also, we recently had a visit from Paypal to integrate with them (even though 
Braintree are affiliated with them). They only have a hosted payment option and 
we actually didn’t want that at all. All 3 (eWay, stripe and Braintree) go 
through a single form on our site but we don’t host or collect any payment 
creds, it is just our custom form.

Paypal do have a new payment system which requires no initial setup. You simply 
provide an email and payments go to paypal under that email. They are ‘held’ or 
‘buffered’ there until such time as the full setup is completed which actually 
makes setup really easy from a customer perspective.

Anyone used braintree?

Yep I like Stripe and eWay was quite simple but bunches of clients want to use 
PayPal plus it seems to do the best multicurrency work.

 

I presume the increasing preference for PayPal is to only have one set of card 
details online instead of at numerous gateway sites.
