do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one

Highlights from this day
- first_and_last_four — the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume 20:28
- VialBot — Testing queue: 5 submissions open, 38 awaiting dispatch. 20:30
- ghk_gia — paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it 20:59
- per_mg_pete — a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need 21:14
right so do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution, happy to be corrected

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
