@dan-pud Only in Sweden. Payments are made to your phone number and end up on your account instantly. So not a fair comparison

... and Swish isn’t even the best of Nordic payment gateways when it comes to dev freandliness.

I am dead ass convinced the swedes have collectively decided to fuck with the entire world via APIs. Like the API is their form of spying.
These fuckers do anything other than look like viking gods and make fuckin APIs? -
@ScriptCoded it’s been a while so I have to dig up which ones where exceptionally pleasurable to work with, but it was one of the Finnish ones. Generally they seemed to be at least on par with Swish’ docs

As opposed to my horrific experiences with PayPal, Swish, a Swedish (really smooth) payment processor has some really nice documentation. An example:
"The callback, in the happy case, will return an intermediate response with the status DEBITED."
And other nice things such as clear numbered lists describing user flows, with images for extra clarification. Also, they provide full lists of error responses and in many cases suggested way to proceed with these error cases.
And as the cherry on top, this is developed as a cooperation between a few Swedish banks. The banks, who are the most thick type of companies when it comes to IT, does it better than PayPal.
