Random question for other engineers -- I've been looking at swapping to the braintree integration for solidus, but i'm finding braintree to be almost impossible to contact and generally a bit sketchy. Does anyone recommend working with them still? It's enticing that they support apple pay etc in a unified dashboard, but wondering if there are better alternatives? I really enjoyed working with stripe, but having separate stripe + paypal integrations just seems not necessary if braintree can just wrap them all up together

I've used Braintree in the past and never had any issues with them.
Other than payment systems being horridly complicated, but that's true for every vendor 🤷
j
got it -- yeah i'm looking for something which is good for subscriptions, i'm gonna move a good amount of volume onto them so without being able to talk to a human somehow i think it might be a no go -- are you actively using the solidus extension on any apps?

No, not actively - I helped build the PayPal Commerce Platform Solidus extension but haven't worked with PayPal since.

Was wondering something similar: https://github.com/solidusio/solidus_stripe/issues/74#issuecomment-1053732334 https://github.com/solidusio/solidus_stripe/issues/135 I just really don’t like PayPal (same stuff you mentioned), so I’d rather be patient and stick with Stripe, personally.

We use stripe for cc, braintree only for paypal/apple pay. Stripe is preferred for their fraud in our opinion with their radar system
