Reputation vs Design – When choosing becomes your only control, how is it going?
It’s Road Trip Time!!! And you know that you are not alone in that vehicle, or on that trip, or even on that road. Now comes the amusing musing…Are you all going in the same direction?
Generally, that answer is yes. But specifically, is your path and the paths of all your vendors thoroughly aligned? If you want simple, are they delivering simple in every phase (even reporting)? Good! If you want detailed, are they providing the full packet with expanded data to the next provider in the chain? Fantastic! If you want verified, are you getting access to all decision data, not just the final product? Whew! If you want highly adaptable, are you seeing all possible processing options? Terrific!
Now, is this always true throughout the entire payment stack you have crafted – for every vendor, for every phase, for every report or dataset, for every packet delivery stage? There’s nothing worse than a planned road trip mix tape sing-a-long getting interrupted by an audiobook of 14th century archaic animal husbandry. Or worse, a check-engine light.
