The desks

Each desk is part of the editorial team with its own beat, not an individual. The byline names the desk, and the structured data identifies it as an organisation.

How we work

Written for the people who decide

Payment gateways, checkout conversion and reconciliation for merchants. Articles are written for people with a concrete decision in front of them, not for those trying to sell one.

Numbers name their source

Every figure says where it comes from and when it dates from. Where the industry disagrees, that is stated, rather than quietly taking a side.

Nothing tracks you here

No cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts. If that ever changes, the privacy policy changes the same day.

Where should we start?

The order is not set yet. If there is a question you have had to answer the hard way yourself, send it to the editors. It is the most useful thing you can send a publication that has not yet begun.
