  $PYPL: PayPal 1. It will be pretty surprising if this strength holds up on $PYPL, but if it does, we're breaking above a large trendline on the daily chart at the moment. 2. Acceptance over $57.75 should send us into a key level near $58.84. If we continue over that, then we have room towards $60, and if we see acceptance over that, we could test $62 / $63. After that, it's a slew of levels every $1 until $69.8 for the most part. 3. On the flip side, acceptance below $55 could send us back down near $53 / $50.

  I helped a client grow from $250K to $2M ARR by transitioning their store from PayPal Buy Now buttons to a full WooCommerce store. Here's the active plugin stack running the site today: Admin Columns Payment Fee Admin Columns Pro Block Emails & Addresses for WooCommerce Cart Abandonment Recovery for WooCommerce Code Snippets Duplicate Page Error Log Viewer GTM4WP Invoice Payment Option LiteSpeed Cache ShipStation for WooCommerce WooCommerce WooCommerce PayPal Payments WooCommerce Ship Discounts — custom plugin I built WooCommerce Stripe Gateway WooPayments Wordfence Security WP Mail Logging Code Snippets handles the smaller customizations that don't need dedicated plugin. Maintenance costs less than $200/month. The client has control, flexibility, scalability, and portability. You don't always need an expensive "enterprise" stack to run a serious eCommerce business. Sometimes you just need to build the right stack, and maintain it properly.

  Infrastructure meets real money: how Arbitrum + WalletConnect change payments forever! In a world where money must move 24/7, with deep liquidity and lightning speed, Arbitrum becomes a real backbon for payments. Why @arbitrum ? • $17+ billion secured value - the largest among all Ethereum L2 • $4+ billion in stablecoin liquidity • Median commission ~$0.0035 (less than half a cent!) • Block time - only 250 milliseconds This means that tipping a content creator for $0.50, paying for coffee for $3 or micropayments for streaming are now really profitable. And stablecoins (USDC, USDT, PYUSD, MXNB, MYRC, EURe) work on the same network with the same speed and cost. @WalletConnect is the most convenient connection layer. One integration, and the business gets access to 900 million users through the largest wallet network. Accept crypt and stablecoins, make top-up accounts, make payments - from wallet to wallet, from institute to bank. Everything is compliant and without the need to build custom integrations for each network and stable. Who is already building on this foundation: • Bleap, RedotPay, Rise, Peanut, Fiat24 • Mastercard, Visa Direct, Cash App, Venmo & PayPal (PYUSD), Shopify, Stripe, Transak This is not a roadmap, but already working products. Thousands of applications have chosen Arbitrum as a production infrastructure for real payments. WalletConnect Pay solves the main problem of the crypt - fragmentation. Checkout, Acceptance, Account Top-ups - all through one integration. Users can pay with any asset, and you get what you need (stable or fiat). Plus cashback in base:0xef4461891dfb3ac8572ccf7c794664a8dd927945 , which motivates users. For business, this means: easier onboarding, lower costs, higher speed of calculations and coverage of a huge audience. The future of payments is on-chain. Arbitrum gives reliable rails, WalletConnect provides convenient access to them.

  @MendamCaedo @takasiraVT Vroid is one option, but you can rarely get anywhere with that. The point I'm making is that this industry is predatory for newcomers and old timers alike. Particularly in the modeling, art, and rigging departments. People will scam you, hide things in TOS, and just recently threaten to revoke the model entirely without a refund if you even touch AI for one reason or another (including using an AI reference sheet, by the way). There's even a server out there that has decided to just start banning people if they use it on ANY PLATFORM, like some 1984 type ****. Cheap artists can rarely be trusted either, because again- on the off chance you don't read over your agreement with like seven lawyers, they can just decide to take it away because of any slight problem they have with you. And let's not even mention the fact that some people will decide to drag their *** on the commissions until the six month refund period on paypal has expired, then take the money and run, meaning that now you're out several thousand dollars depending on how expensive that commission was.. With all of this in mind, do you see why people are hesitant to turn to artists who are screeching about losing their commissions and turning to sources that won't complain about what they choose to do?

  The most humiliating chart in tech just became a private equity target. Retail is cheering a 28 percent premium on $PYPL like its a massive win. They are completely misreading who actually takes the prize here. Look at the slow bleed on the chart before this sudden jump. PayPal was valued at $360 billion back in the 2021 frenzy. Now Stripe and Advent are rolling up with $50 billion in bank financing to buy the entire float for $60.50 a share. The retail crowd is praying this sparks a bidding war. The truth is far funnier. Silicon Valley is buying its own garbage at a discount. A private upstart is swallowing a former giant to control a machine that processes $3.7 trillion in annual payment volume. If you held this all the way down, the market is finally putting you out of your misery. Youre getting forcefully cashed out near the lows.

  $PYPL The Half of PayPal the Market Was Pricing On July 15 Stripe and the investment firm Advent International offered about $53 billion for PayPal, $60.50 a share at a 28 percent premium, with PayPal's board due to meet on July 20 (CNBC). The market had spent two years pricing PayPal as a fading checkout brand. The bid is a sign it was valuing the wrong half of the company. The bearish case is about flow, the checkout button losing ground at the point of sale to Apple Pay, to Shopify, to a dozen others. That decline is real, and it is what the multiple reflects. What it leaves out is the stock of accounts sitting behind the button. PayPal holds more than 400 million funded consumer accounts, Venmo included, and a funded account is not just a logo, it is a stored balance with a linked funding source and a verified identity. This is what makes the bid make sense. The whole industry is moving toward agent commerce, where software does the buying, and an agent cannot spend from nothing. It needs a funded account to draw on, permission to spend it, and an identity behind it. Stripe owns the merchant side of payments and has very few consumer wallets of its own. PayPal is the largest pool of pre-funded consumer accounts outside the banks. A company that owns the merchant rails is not paying a premium and borrowing $50 billion for a checkout button, it is buying the thing it cannot build on its own, a base of accounts that are already funded and ready for an agent to spend from. A 28 percent premium on a company the market had written down as a runoff is the buyer saying, in effect, that the base of accounts is worth more than the flow everyone was tracking. The mispricing, as I read it, is that the market valued the half of PayPal that is shrinking and gave away the half that is scarce. This is a bid and not yet a deal, so the tells are close at hand. Whether the board engages after July 20 or holds out for more will say whether the base is worth what the bidder thinks. A rival suitor would be the market admitting the asset is rare. And the final terms, if there are any, will show who controls the combined accounts and rails, because that, rather than the app, is what an agent economy has to run through.

  Broken GA4 sessions? Check referral exclusions. Payment gateways like Stripe/PayPal redirect users back to your site — GA4 counts it as a new session and wipes your source. Fix: add payment domains to your unwanted referrals list. 4 minutes. #GA4 #Ecommerce

  Calamarei 🩸💀 2.0 Coming Soon 2026 (@CalamareiVT) reported 1 hour ago

  My Twitch account was hacked. I don't know how. I don't know how it is possible payment information was changed after 4-5 years of the same payment information. No confirmation email from Twitch about payout method being changed. For the past 5 years as a creator on Twitch I have always received my payouts early. I recently changed my password on Twitch as well via the correct links sent by Twitch staff themselves (yes I know it was authentic as it was about getting a refund and I did receive the refund). I log in today to make sure there is not some sort of issue with the account, payment information needing to be reverified, a tax form, or something else holding up this months payment. I go to review my payment information, which requires 2 factor authentication btw, and the information looks fine until page 2 out of 3. My payout method had been changed to Paypal and an unknown email (10000% do not know or even heard of this email) for the paypal account. I changed the payout immediately. I reset all my connections with Twitch. I also checked my Twitch email. It was my email. My account email still tied to my account. Yet, no emails confirming payout changes, no alerts, nothing. I do not know how I got hacked. I don't know if it was third party. I have been in the IT field for years and consistently am looking out for phishing and scams. However this did happen and I now have a missing $900 and negative funds in my bank. I already reported this to Twitch and am working on reporting the account to PayPal as I type this. But I really 100% believe there needs to be email notifications sent out for any financial information changed on all platforms. I am still appalled that a system like that is not in place for a website associated with Amazon and functions as an employer to pay so many people on the platform. Where are the security protocols? Or just some IT 101 practices from companies. There is no excuse in 2026 to not have confirmation/authorization/notification emails for payout or financial details being changed. Stay safe.
