NAPA Auto Parts | REMOTE (US/CA) | https://www.napaonline.com/accessories

NAPA Auto Parts is seeking a fully remote Ruby on Rails developer. You’ll be working on a smaller team that is rapidly building a new division within NAPA Auto Parts - think startup inside BigCo. We are seeking someone who will take equal pride in our streamlined workflow, agile development, creative approaches, and entrepreneurial spirit.

This position calls for a self-motivated person capable of independent work (though code review and pairing will happen regularly, you'll be on your own most days). The role involves back-end automation of workflows & data exchanges using various APIs and file formats - JSON, XML, SOAP, EDI, CSV, etc. You’ll also assist in building and enhancing many of our consumer-facing & support system Rails apps.

Tech Stack: Rails, React, Redux, Postgres, Redis, Ubuntu, Gitlab, Chef, Sendgrid, Klaviyo, Twilio, Braintree

This may work nicely for a subscription business where you have 2 weeks to identify problematic orders. But what about everyone else? Should we silently fail on orders where a customer accidentally mistyped their CC#? Imagine all the extra work involved when you could have had them fix it on the spot.

Completely agree with fweespee_ch. Major CC processors such as Authorize.net, Braintree, etc. offer fraud protection measures but in our experience they do very little to prevent even a remotely-capable fraudster. Typical features offered are IP Velocity & regional IP (useless when the fraudsters spin up thousands of amazon servers), # of transactions per hour (not too helpful when your business already does hundreds/thousands of transactions a day), CVV and AVS credit-card response codes (ends up blocking more legitimate orders than fakes and the fraudsters typically already have this information anyway), etc.

you could add an additional URL parameter via pushState and ensure that you're defining the canonical tag only to the main data pages. You could also define the new parameter in webmaster tools and tell googlebot to ignore it

Another Chicagoan here, I'm actually the exact opposite. I'd much rather have my package sitting in the lobby of my apartment than going down to Michigan Ave, dealing with a bunch of tourists, and waiting in line to pick up, idk, a big box of paper towels because I'm too lazy to go to the grocery store?

This. Search for a product in google shopping and multiple merchants will be clustered around one product image that is chosen from 1 of the merchants. That's the main reason, but it also avoids the ugliness of an ebay search where seemingly every other merchant has bright/bold text claiming free gifts or other such offers.
