Thanks @iaboyeji for
being diplomatic about the matter. Your explanation is very
gracious.
I didn’t realise radar was a paystack circle jerk. The amount
of hostility directed towards me for stating plain facts is
staggering, but that’s alright, I probably deserve some of it for
the choice of words I used in my initial statement (By which I
still stand).
This is an article from Techcabal that basically corroborates my
stateme t - http://techcabal.com/2016/08/15/flutterwave-iyin-compete-paystack/
For one, all these companies (especially Paystack and Pay With
Capture) have been operating for a while. Has Flutterwave been
servicing these clients since? If so, who was running the firm
before Iyin’s announcement? Delaware public records do not show
the owners of the company, and Flutterwave hasn’t answered our
question concerning this directly.
But more importantly, how long before Flutterwave starts to
offer startups the same services as Paystack? While both teams are
coy about this, it seems illogical to assume that Flutterwave would
continue to allow a middle man sit between them
and the companies that ultimately use their services. Once the
infrastructure is built, what stops them from allowing anyone stick
a payment interface in their web or mobile app? Finally, how do
comapnies like Paystack distinguish themselves from other payment
providers when anyone can connect to Flutterwave’s API and launch
their own payment service? Is there room for more than one payment
processor in this market?
I noticed that there is a lot of “tip toeing” around the
issue, I wonder why that is. People don’t want to hurt other
people’s feelings?
Whenever there is a lot obfuscation, the simplest explanation is
usually the correct one.
Anyone with a discerning brain, or inside knowledge of the
matter knows I am correct.
