Being new means going through certain rituals. Like first getting lost on the elevator between the second and third floor. Getting a permanent pass instead of a temporary guest ID, choosing the perfect time to go for lunch and still get the sandwich you wanted.
Then you start noticing the air conditioning does not exactly follow the remote control requests. You take sides in the never ceasing argument over blinds in the windows – eternal darkness over supposedly disturbing sun reflections off the screens (seriously, folks, choose light!!!). The copy machine makes you understand that out of its varied and useful functions you may only use the ones that it mercifully decides to offer you on a given day.

January 26th was our 9th birthday! To celebrate this day we’ve created an infographic full of facts from 2013. From the funny and quirky office things to the great new business heights that we’ve reached, this past year was truly a great one.
But our celebration didn’t stop there! Why? Because to commemorate this great day we’ve also launched a brand new website!
This year we published a great book on e-commerce, we’ve become an official payment institution, added more banks to our offer, increased the amount of opened accounts by 784,3% percent since 2012 (that’s 2529 new accounts in 2013 alone!), and traveled more than 20,000 km this year. And those are just the highlights of our year!
Check out how great this years travel through the business universe was:

Well, there is not much to say except… ¡Hola!
Spanish is one of the most popular languages in the world (second or third place, depending on source – 407 millions of people spoke Spanish in 2010 according to Wikipedia) so think of the potential that this market has!
Not only English
It is quite probable that some of your customers are Spanish-speaking people. Or they could be your customers, if you talked to them in their language. I’ve already wrote why it is worth to use customers’ language so now I can just remind the main reasons. English is considered to be an international language, modern lingua franca, but if you want to expand to domestic markets efficiently, you should speak your customers’ mother tongues. Here’s why: …

If you run an international e-business and sell goods globally, you do your best to make the purchasing process as simple and as fast as possible. When your online business is developing and the number of customers, transactions and revenues is increasing, there is nothing worse than payment limits that can stop you. But sometimes the bank can reject transactions (because of business or customer location, payments method, currencies, etc.). If a consumer lives in the UK and suddenly shops in Japan, the bank can treat it as a fraud transaction, because, for example, such card activity may not correspond with their purchasing history. It’s all in order to ensure the money’s safety. Banks sometimes reject payments when they suspect a card might have been stolen. But it’s a big problem for e-businesses. When a transaction is rejected, you lose money and customers.
How to avoid such problems?
The best way is to create more than one merchant account and integrate them in one clever payment system. And that’s what we prepared: Automatic Payment Optimizer. It is a mechanism that groups all merchant accounts of a given online business and sends money to the right one. If a bank rejects a transaction, APO attempts to send the funds to other bank accounts until it succeeds and receives a positive response. All this happens automatically and takes just a few seconds.

What has happened today?
Today (May 21, 2013) Google has announced that they are closing Google Checkout (it will be retired on November 20th, 2013). It came as quite a shock for many merchants, who used to use this payment option. Before I start to comment on that move let’s talk about the history of this product.
