I wish I knew all this information before building my first integration with a payment provider.

The integration can go wrong for so many reasons. This is why in this episode we discuss the importance of pre-mortems, best practices, setting clear expectations, and establishing robust communication channels.

Michael emphasizes the need to engage all relevant stakeholders early in the process to avoid friction and ensure a smooth integration.

We also explore the evolving landscape of e-commerce payments, the role of AI in certification processes, and the critical metrics for monitoring performance post-launch.
