Bolt announces layoffs

PayPal has had this for a very, very long time. I use it all the time, and it works great. So what am I missing? I also have Apple Pay enabled. It works great as well. The use of hardware verification vs a browser redirect gives it some nice advantages. So what exactly is the differentiated experience I’m getting with Bolt?

My personal experience for the last couple of years is that the "checkout with Paypal" option on most sites is buggy now. After the Paypal portion of the payment flow, the redirect back to the original site fails. The redirected page will either show me an error message or I'll be somehow redirected to the website's root page.

I've stopped using the Paypal option even though I really want to use it, because it makes me uncomfortable providing my credit card information to so many sites. Not sure what's changed, it used to work quite well. My guess is either there's a bug on PayPal's side with my account, or the PayPal integration has gotten more complicated and many websites have not kept up with certain changes.

PayPay has pretty terrible UX IMO

And a not as smooth DX as Stripe.
