So, people who ARE doing it are replying on this thread.

People who don't need 15 FTEs, or even one FTE to take pretty large volumes of payments from many countries in the world.

Another reply is talking about $40 million turnover without a FTE.

The latest revenue figures I can find for meetup is $15 million.

So it begs the question, are you the incompetent and inexperienced one for needing to overengineer, or are we, for doing it cheaply?

Its really not about scale. I can process 1 or 1million JSON messages with the same effort. Now also support 25 other message formats? Doesnt scale the same way.

I can support a trillion of US/Canadian/European transactions with mostly the same effort.
