Sorry to see Balanced go. They were definitely the most flexible platform available and always pushed the envelope.

If you're not using Spreedly, I recommend it because it's a big help in this situation because it allows you to seamlessly switch services without losing any of your customer card data.

Strongest possible +1 for this. I did a live migration from Paypal to Stripe in under 30 seconds once. Spreedly made this as easy as flipping a configuration switch. As far as I can tell, we didn't lose any business as a result of the migration.

I don't see any reason I'd ever move off Stripe (+) but it's more than worth just preserving the convenient-doesn't-require-app-rewrite option to do so.

+ Edit to add: Ooh, got one: an acquirer can dictate a move to their favored/house processor as a term of an acquisition, and "Sure, give me six weeks to do engineering work" is not something you want to have to worry about when putting that deal together.

I think it's generally better to code directly to one provider and in the very rare instance you need/decide to change, go ahead and do the relatively easy work.

Read your comment wondering if Spreedly was worth the pricing, hit your Edit, realized its totally worth it for a few hundred dollars a month.

ACH support?

[ntalbott]

Spreedly already supports vaulting bank account information, and while the number of gateways that we support passing bank account info to is still limited, we're growing that rapidly at the moment.

Our gateway support is heavily influenced by customers, so anyone who has a gateway they'd like to pass bank account info to that we don't support today shouldn't hesitate to drop us a line.

Thx.
