This company boasted of so many clients but couldn't show any as an example because they were all "pre-launch". Seemed like a big pyramid scheme that no one bought in to.

The company encourages its 600 CLT representatives to make personal connections with callers, and to send flowers, cookies, or thank-you cards.
curious, do they encourage this on the company dime or is the CLT expected to pay out of pocket for these 'personal connections'?

Serious question- does the team then negotiate new terms after the weekend for those that do want to stay on-board? Who holds the 98.4% in the meantime?

Re:Stripe Raises New Funding and Partners with Visa
on Tuesday July 28, 2015 @06:02AM (#9960480)
Really fascinating that Visa is a partnere here when they already own Cybersource, which is a key player in the enterprise e-commerce payment space. The $5b valuation is higher than what Visa paid to acquire Cybersource ($2b) in 2010.
Would be great to see the additional features from Cybersource (tax calculation, address verification, fraud management) available with the ease of integration that Stripe provides.

Diane von Furstenberg - DVF.com - New York, NY
We are a luxury fashion brand, based in New York City, and an Internet Retailer top 500 website. I'm looking to grow our e-commerce team and have two open development roles: E-commerce Web Developer & Junior Front-End Developer.
For the e-commerce developer role, I'm looking for someone who can work with our platform (Demandware) to integrate with external systems, optimize performance, and help us build a better shopping experience. Previous experience with Demandware is great, but I'd like to talk to folks who have experience on other platforms (ATG, Magento, Hybris, Shopify).
For the junior front-end developer role, I'm looking for someone who can work with our creative, merchandising, and content teams to build out new shopping features in HTML, CSS, Javascript.
More information & application information is here. Please mention HN if you saw this!

Looks like I'm at one of the retailers you crawl. Recently, our site was getting hit with a web crawler that was following links incorrectly. I black listed several IP addresses from accessing the site and now I wonder if it was this!
Does your crawler obey robots.txt rules?

I've used Scene 7 for the past five years and think that it is a great product. The cost may seem expensive if you just look at the dynamic resize/crop technology and hosting, but it is a good solution for digital asset management for e-commerce. Our photo studio and re-touchers upload directly into Scene 7 and it has simplified the entire workflow.
Re:Shopify POS
on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @10:58AM (#6290389)
Suggestion for the Shopify folk-
The site doesn't say that the POS supports a barcode scanner, but the video says that it does (and shows it in use). As a retailer, not having a barcode scanner would be a prompt deal breaker[0]. It should be featured somewhere on the microsite.
[0] lack of a barcode scanner isn't bad if you have 16 products. Once you're managing any serious level of inventory, especially with unique size/color combinations, there's so much risk for error if each item isn't being scanned. Then there's speed of service to the customer; it's just quicker.

Threatmetrix assigns a fraud risk/score based on multiple factors, including the geolocation, IP, & browser. Additionally (to your point #1), they anonymize data across their customers and alert if a device has been flagged in a fraudulent transaction elsewhere. On top of their own customers, they partner with Cybersource so there is quite a network of data behind their fraud analysis.
(I don't work for Threatmetrix- but I do use their product as provided via Cybersource.)

on Monday March 04, 2013 @03:26PM (#5320666)
This isn't just good will towards the consumer; retailers are paying per e-mail that is sent out, so it is good practice to prune the list of addresses that haven't opened e-mails in a while.
