Scam and scammers are something that we need to fight with almost each day. Unfortunately it’s one of the worst plagues of our industry. How many times did you receive an e-mail with a request to change the password in some kind of e-wallet service (such as PayPal)? How many times were you asked to do something in your bank account? To have it done you just needed to click on some link in the email and put your login and password in a login form. Simple. But fake.
Those websites look similar to the original ones. But they are not. Once you put your login and password – these credentials will be stored in scammer’s database.

We all know that high security is a must for every business. One of the ways to ensure the safety of your clients’ money is implementing 3-D Secure. But what does it mean from the technical side?
Thanks to PayLane’s implementation of the 3-D Secure technology, it is not merchants, but banks that are responsible for chargebacks in case of fraud transactions, on condition that:
- 3-D Secure has been activated for the card,
- the payer has been redirected by the merchant to a website where the card authentication takes place,
- the authentication process is successful.
To make it easier for merchants to use 3-D Secure, without requiring them to have in-depth knowledge of the whole authentication process, we have brought it down to 2 functions called through API.

I have recently been working on one of our new projects, and I needed to have my own copy of our system with full functionality. The changes made by me would affect the whole system so my workmates couldn’t work on their features then.
Although every respectful development company uses version control systems, typically every change is made to main repository – then every developer can be up to date and they can work on the same project. But sometimes – as in my case – your changes are going too deep to work on the same repository. Here branching comes in. It is used globally in any version control system. It allows you to create branches that are (depends on system) independent copies of HEAD (or another branch) created from one particular commit in main repository.

Many people ask this question, many people answer it. But there are still some doubts. So, let’s clarify this. Many people think that size doesn’t matter – the technique is the key. Ohh… that’s just terribly wrong. Size does matter, because it must be easy on the eye and we must feel confident and comfortable when operating with it.
