That worries me, and their Acceptable Use Policy isn't reassuring. |
Yep Paypal is a major pita but is this not way we facilitate most of our payouts to non US users? |
@Changaco Their AUP looks pretty normal to me. What don't you like about it? |

I've created a Braintree account. |
On the application they asked about our business and I said we provide "Sustainable crowd-funding for open-source projects" or something like that. |

Nice, thanks! :-) |

I signed an agreement with Braintree. Waiting to hear if I can share the whole PDF. Two things to note in particular:

@whit537 - Braintree's escrow feature might not be what you think it is, have a look at this:
(from https://developers.braintreepayments.com/ios+ruby/guides/marketplace/overview) Looks like we'll have to define the 'destination' (sub-merchant, as Braintree calls it) before we put a transaction into escrow. That isn't going to be possible for many of the $10 charges we make. |
@rohitpaulk I don't think that's a problem as long as we require a working payout route in order to receive funds, correct? |
It still is. I tip you $0.25 per week. When I'm charged $10, you don't know the 'destination' for the complete $10 yet. What if I decide next week that I want to start tipping Changaco instead? And there's one more problem (which braintree probably has a workaround for) - splitting transactions (a charge) between multiple receivers. |
When you want to release a transaction from Escrow, you don't get to change the transaction's parameters (afaict). You just give braintree the transaction ID, and say "I want this released from escrow". So when we put a transaction into escrow, we've got to tell them beforehand - "This is who this will (eventually) be paid out to". |
Hmm ... good point. |
Huzzah! 💃 🎉 |

Reticketing from #3377: How hard is it to change the bank account where our funds settle? |

I had a quick look through the docs, looks like we won't have to deviate much from our current setup :) I'm going to start working on this tomorrow, @whit537 - Time to initiate a convo with Balanced regarding migrating card info? |
Awesome! 💃 !m @rohitpaulk
I've started a thread with them, mostly focused on the bank side right now (#3379). The card transfer should be pretty straightforward, but we should really get double-vaulting in place first: #3387. |
Per #3377 (comment) let's try to change Braintree to settle at New Alliance before next Thursday.
|
Documentation sent.
|
Migrating cards is #3391. |
Yessssssss. One question that came up in the meeting with Citizens yesterday (#3366) is how quickly funds settle from Braintree into our bank account. With Balanced, funds were instantly available to us to pay out again, but I believe Balanced was floating that for us, and with a more DIY infrastructure we'll need to account for that float ourselves. |
|
Curve ball: #3463. |
Congrats on getting through the underwriting process & going live! I've been following along (even if I've not commented here); feel free to ping me if you've got any other Braintree related issues. |
Yep, I was glad to see that got worked out today. |
