Congrats on the launch! I see payment gateway as the first product on the top nav - perhaps a noob question, but how is this different from Razorpay?

Hi, Cashfree PG can be used for more than accepting card/nb transactions. It can be plugged with SmartPayout and Marketplace Settlements to disburse incoming money among vendors/sellers. It's one of the products at our platform that is essential to automate payment flows at businesses.

"Sorry, we don't recognize this email id." This doesn't sound good. Should you not be doing 'If we recognize this email we will send you a verification code' with a timing randomization / delay if you're doing anything on the request pipeline such as the SMTP send.

No, this is fine. If anyone malicious wanted to find out if an email address is registered they could simply try to create a new account using it.

No, I don't think it is fine. But I do take your point that most signup flows would have this information leak too, and probably with less effect - i.e. target wouldn't get a password reset email. The information leak as a whole though does probably mandates better patterns. I can see it being used by gray hat competitors - 'Hey before you offer X pricing check if he's already a customer of Y and so on'.

Weekend project: Scrap HN for emails, run them through redtube which also has this information leak (someone told me), publish them, charge $5 per deletion. (Not serious, but hey feasible right)

Hi. Interesting product. Couple of stuffs when looking around your site.

First, there is a typo for the word 'experience' in this page - https://www.cashfree.com/en/careers-pe.

Secondly, you have not mentioned any tech stack in your job listings. It is interesting, but just curious if there is any reason behind that, as tech stacks are important deciding factors in choosing a job.

Third, the docs page looks pretty empty on the right hand side where it links to the language specific documentation(http://docs.gocashfree.com/docs/v1/?java#get-link). I'm not sure if it is a feature or a bug.

[1] Yes, it was a mistake. Has been corrected.

[2] We have many modules running inside our ecosystem in different languages. Front-end is primarily bootstrap and templating is done in PHP. Tech stacks are important for folks who primarily want to work with given technology, however, our culture promotes using the best one for a given job and thus we don't want to restrict ourselves to a specific tech stack.

[3] We are working on adding sample codes for all the mentioned languages.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We display incoming transactions at our dashboard in the order of their receipt. Not sure what logic banks use to insert new transaction in the middle of statement log. It doesn't happen with our AutoCollect(NEFT re-conciliation) product. We will set up a demo account for you and let you try it for multiple transactions. Do share your email or drop a note to us at care@gocashfree.com. Thanks!

My email is in my profile (or in Bookface). This is actually the single biggest issue in cash reconciliation. If this is something your banking partner and you can solve, we would love to hear more. FYI - all ecommerce companies in India have this issue. Usually they have to jump a lot of hoops with banks to make it work.

Sure. We'd get in touch with you soon.

Congrats on launching FinTech product for the Indian market.

Do you support subscription model i.e., auto charging a credit card every month for a SAAS product? From what I understood, RBI banned auto charging customers credit card. I am not sure.
