Expiry is not failure, it simply means any transaction attempt shouldn’t be triggered again.
So it doesn’t mean we don’t honor existing attempts that was already triggered.
Therefore, if I get a webhook (fact) within a certain period after expiry, it stands, because it’s the fact. If business rules forbid it, we refund automatically.
10:00 Payment created, expires 10:15
10:14:59 Customer pays
10:15:00 My scheduler marks it EXPIRED
10:15:02 Paystack’s success webhook arrives.
The customer paid, but system says expired
Do you reject webhook, reopen the payment, refund?
What's your approach to solving this?

You basically spelt out the exact reason why it would work.
QR code is just a representation of bytes of data.
If you people understand how QR code works at the binary level, down to the error correction aspect, you'll know that's it's not possible to knit that stuff by hand without invalidating the entire thing

Non-technical people don dey talk 👀
You people don’t have sense. You should sack your head of product
I expected this to happen.
Three weeks before today, you’re meant to:
1. Scale up network capacity
2. Scale app servers horizontal
3. Prepare the authentication system
4. Pre-scale before the IPO
5. Load-Test the entire system
You guys generate lots of revenue, but you don’t want to bear the engineering cost of process improvements.
If you’re having difficulties using your bamboo like me, please use @Afrinvest instead

They (manufacturers) usually get early design specs allowing them to do stuffs like this.
Sometimes, they even get dummy devices.
✌🏽
It’s not supposed to matter cause I wouldn’t process the second one within a time frame. Usually 10min.
Also, there’s Idempotency validation
Backend devs.
How do you prevent a client from maliciously doing something like:
const response = await axios.post(
'/api/payments',
{
amount: 100,
currency: 'USD',
},
{
headers: {
'Idempotency-Key': 'abc123',
},
}
);
Then few minutes later;
const response = await axios.post(
'/api/payments',
{
amount: 500,
currency: 'USD',
},
{
headers: {
'Idempotency-Key': 'abc123',
},
}
);
Same idempotency keys, different amounts.

Data is gold 🙂
Femi Aluko, co-founder of Chowdeck, reveals an amazing discovery about Chowdeck Customers
At the beginning of the month, customers order for turkey and chicken.
Second week, they'll order for beef/meat.
Third week, they'll order for egg.
Fourth week, they'll go back to ordering chicken and turkey.

censoring the credit card chip? This is new to me 🤨🤔
Thank you for date night, @X
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The author of this post has admitted to “baiting.” This violates X’s monetization policy, and a CN will stop monetization.
