It was never our primary payment method, but we had higher conversion rates with it. We had Authorize.net at the time, then added PayPal PayFlow and Stripe. I actually authored a payment abstraction library that would try providers in order of priority and fall back gracefully, avoiding double charges and even abstracting over payment status, refunds, etc.

No, the retry logic was in-tandem between the client and a separate server endpoint.
