Payment validation limit is increased from 10 minutes to 60 minutes. Now customers can send payments from exchanges to merchants due to increased validation time. Also added +5% XLM_USD rate to protect merchants from volatility

Is it really necessary, given that volatility can deliver a premium as well? A 5% fee, it's huge!

    Hey, when I increase checkout validation time to 60 minutes from 5 minutes received emails from some merchants about volatility problem and added +5% percentage to protect them. I will add demo checkout page to test it and can get your new feedback about new conversion rate.

    I'm working on big update which is including; new Shopify currencies (EUR,GBP,JPY,CAD,SGD,HKD,DKK,NZD) with more acceptable volatility ratio, multi-currency accepted Shopify stores support added, Checkout client is written from scratch with native VueJS (payment flow bit changed, animations added and now with fully mobile support). The update will be released in few days.

        From a strictly statistical point of view, because volatility can goes equally up or down, its average cost over enough payments should be around 0.

        I understand that's not something merchant may accept easily. On the other hand, customers will not accept outrageous fees. Maybe a fee of 1% could be an acceptable compromise between both positions - as over the long term it already means an 1% premium for merchants.

          One of the reasons for using Stellar is because it lowers the fees taken by others like PayPal, Venmo, etc. I personally won't pay a 5% fee because it eliminates the value proposition of using Stellar in the first place.

          @kehaar We're not taking any fee from customers or merchants. It was a fixed conversion rate to protect merchants from volatility. With new update StellarPay is converting FIAT->XLM with real market prices. It means there is no more +5% fixed conversion rate. Thank you for your feedback.

          Is there a place where I can try the interface?

          You may be interested in supporting CosmicLinks as well (similar to SEP-0007), as it'll give you access to more wallets, including hardware wallets (Trezor support being added right now).

          JS library, specifications, example

            Your interface looks great!

            I like the way you embedded Cosmic.link. If you want, I can provide an alternative style for better integration.

            I have a couple of comments about StellarPay interface:

            The footer is breaking the layout on my display (1366x768, chromium), you can fix it by removing the -15px margins from the .row class and adding max-width: 100%;.

            For SEP7 requests with memo, you need to define the memo type as AFAIK the standard doesn't define a default: &memo_type=MEMO_TEXT.

            Beta Trezor support will be released the 28th. Payments are already fully functional.

            stellarpay

            I just added Trezor support to it.
            I still plan to public release all those things the 28th.

              MisterTicot
              Thank you for Trezor update. I put 2 button for Trezor and Ledger signing methods to keep simplicity. But can't find set signing method on query specification document of Cosmic.link. If possible can you add "method" argument to select specific signing method? So new final URL will be like for trezor

              cosmic.link/widget.html?type=payment&network=public&memo=m3r7t1k1n2x&destination=GTHISISDEMOADDRESSDONOTSENDANYTHING&amount=12345.6789&method=trezor

              Ledger :

              cosmic.link/widget.html?type=payment&network=public&memo=m3r7t1k1n2x&destination=GTHISISDEMOADDRESSDONOTSENDANYTHING&amount=12345.6789&method=ledger

                  I confirm that this is not possible at this time - I never thought about doing it this way. Indeed, this is an interesting idea.

                  I think I need a bit of thinking to find a nice way to integrate it. In any case, I'm planning a major redesign of the interface starting next month so that's the right time to bring new ideas.

                  Note that by removing the basic Cosmic.link, you loose a number of use cases:

                  • Using Stellar Authenticator & other wallets to use Cosmic.link in the future.
                  • Using private key with Stellar Laboratory.
                  • Using wallet that only accept an XDR as input.
                  • Signing with phone using QRcodes - for example someone using SEP7/keybase on the phone but browsing the shop on desktop computer. This is a rather common situation as computers are more comfortable for browsing but phones are often more secure to store secrets keys.

                      Could you elaborate what would be the expected behavior when Ledger/Trezor buttons gets clicked?

                        MisterTicot Actually I need that method query on URL because of the Trezor's pop-up window mechanism. When you choose Ledger option you're still able to use other signing methods too but Trezor makes things bit complex and buggy. Choosing default signing method before reach to Cosmic.link is only thing what I need.

                            MisterTicot

                            Isn't it possible to talk directly to the hardware without going through their high-level API pop-up?
