The FairPay component is more of a demo than an actual component. It shows how to use the
|
||
|
|
`Paypal.svelte` and `BTCPay.svelte` components. The `FairPay.svelte` implements a "pay what you
|
||
|
|
want" style of payments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why the $10 increments? There's a form of credit card crime called "carding" where people with
|
||
|
|
stolen numbers test their cards on any purchase that is $1. They'll get large numbers of possibly
|
||
|
|
valid credit cards and they need to test them. The best way to test them is to attempt a very small
|
||
|
|
purchase, and if the purchase works then they mark the card valid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you allow people to pay any amount as a donation then carders will raid your purchase form and
|
||
|
|
rack up $1 fraudulent charges. That may not seem to bad, but your payment processor will then
|
||
|
|
charge _you_ $15 or more to handle the charge back. Even if you offer to refund the purchase and
|
||
|
|
they do no work. This means if you receive $100 of fraudulent charges you would owe $1500 in fees.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The easiest way to prevent this is to simply only allow increments of $10. $10 is too high for most
|
||
|
|
carder testers, so this will deter them (at least until everyone does this).
