@HidrateSpark it’s been months and you stopped responding to my support messages. Is this how you stand behind your product?

The hard truth about payments

Most new payment methods fail because they treat payments like a product. Payments is infrastructure. Infrastructure scales on different terms.

Consumers liked wallets with rich incentives. Merchants liked the idea of cheaper rails. Yet, many payment methods promising these outcomes failed. “Liking” is simply not enough.

The payment methods that scale fade into the background. Cards succeeded because they became the ambient protocol of commerce. People just trust them to work. No questions asked.

Friction, too, is misunderstood. Most friction is fatal: merchants won’t re-platform for marginal gains, and consumers won’t abandon convenience. But sometimes friction is transformative. One-time pain leading to permanent shift. I’ve seen many examples of both.

The real story of payments is not products winning customers, but infrastructure replacing infrastructure. And that work is more about plumbing than marketing.

The next decade will split into two tracks. One will optimize existing rails, try to fix what’s broken and defend share. The other will attempt a complete rewiring of payments as we know it. Almost everything else will prove irrelevant and short-lived.

The hard question is whether, in ten years, commerce will still be running on upgraded versions of today’s rails or on something entirely new that we don’t yet recognize as payments at all.

Processing fees are just the tip of the payments cost iceberg.

The current state of ecommerce ⬇️

- Average conversion rates are around 2% to 4%

- The average payment authorization rate is around 85%

- Fraud still costs businesses and consumers billions of dollars each year

We've got a lot of work to do still, and that’s so exciting!
