If you are Facebook, Amazon or someone like that it can make sense, but their level of sophistication is insane for someone that isn't making millions a month. At a smaller scale, the best that you can do is just to have bindings for the processors that do easy integration, but it's still a bunch of work that isn't going towards making more money, but towards insurance.

So putting sophistication on your payments platform is something that you should only care about once you are very successful anyway.

Yeah my bad, I didn't mean to suggest that their approach makes sense for everyone. I was just trying to support his point that reducing dependence on a single processor can be a beneficial practice.
