Payments can be hard to learn alone.
There are a lot of moving parts. Card networks, acquirers, PSPs, fraud tools, chargebacks, interchange, routing, billing, subscriptions, compliance, reconciliation, and a lot more.
Most of the useful knowledge lives with people who have actually built, operated, sold, or fixed payments systems.
That is why I created the Payments FM community.
It is a private Slack group for people who work in payments or want to understand payments better.
Who it is for
This is for people working in:
Payment product
Engineering

You do not need to be a payments expert. You just need to be curious, thoughtful, and willing to learn or help.

The group is focused on practical payment questions. Things like:
- How to improve authorization rates
