> You're literally moving millions of dollars a year through your billing platform. That's not a little bit of money. That's a lot. Own it.

Nobody said it was a little bit of money? Where is this comment coming from?

I think OP's point was, if you're moving that much money, you shouldn't be relying on a third party vendor; doing so shifts the blame from them, to you, for not controlling your own payments. That's what I read in that post.

I have no idea if it's a good point or not.

There’s a big difference between “millions of dollars” and “relying on a third party vendor for payments.” I don’t know of many sub-$1B companies that implement their own payments infrastructure...
