Do you have the ability to execute JS on the parent page? If so, the easiest and most reliable way to do this is to use the postMessage API to send document.referrer from the parent to the iframe. https://developer.mozilla.org&#x

I would highly recommend that you contact the banks for whatever accounts the money went to. If you are able to prove fraud, you may be able to work with them to freeze the accounts and then recover enough funds to cover the chargebacks. Yo

There's not a lot you can to do prevent your site from being targeted by a DDoS attack. If you are unfortunate enough to get DDoS'd you probably have enough money to pay for a service like Prolexic, etc that will shield you almost

Unfortunately, it is not that easy because you are just one part of a larger financial system and have to deal with horribly outdated banks, etc. I used to work at WePay and a lot of the complex technical work we did was to make sure that t

Kohana is a very solid framework. The best parts about it are that the source is very readable and it's extremely easy to override the default behavior of many modules. I would strongly recommend doing this as much as you need to because Ko

Sorry, I should have made it more clear that with stripe you aren't liable for all of the PCI spec (I edited my comment to reflect that). Either way, I think Stripe is doing awesome work and I hope you keep kicking ass!

I'm the lead API engineer at WePay, so I'm definitely biased toward the WePay API, but I do think Stripe is a great service. The WePay API does allow you to embed the entire checkout experience on your own site with our iframe checkout. The

In order to accept credit card information directly on your site, you need to be PCI compliant. This involves paperwork, and once you have significant volume, audits. WePay provides a simple checkout API that you can embed on your own site

One thing that works great is to build a sandbox tool that lets your users make real API calls with their credentials from your API documentation. Facebook, Stripe, and WePay have done this. It makes integration much easier when you can tes
