Payment Integration & Migration

Mission-critical payment systems, built and migrated without drama

Billing is the one system where a bad deploy costs real money in real time. I design and run payment integrations and migrations the way they have to be done: idempotent, reconciled, reversible. The largest one — moving hundreds of millions in recurring revenue from Adyen to Stripe for Babbel — finished with zero downtime.

Gateway integration

  • Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, Braintree, NMI — implemented against your actual flows, not the quickstart
  • Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, SEPA, and local methods per market
  • Subscription billing, usage-based pricing, trials, and lifetime tiers
  • Radar fraud tuning, PCI-conscious architecture, webhook handling that survives retries

Zero-downtime migration

  • Card vault re-tokenization and mandate rebuilding across providers
  • Customers keep their auth, billing day, and payment method — they never notice
  • Verification and reconciliation pipelines with full audit trails
  • Rollback strategy and staged cutover, so risk is bounded at every step

Hardening what you have

  • Payment retry logic and dunning management that wins back failed charges
  • Event-driven reconciliation on AWS (EventBridge, SQS, Lambda) with automatic retries
  • Idempotent background jobs for billing operations at scale
  • Multi-currency, tax, and localization edge cases handled before they page you

Stack & tools

  • Adyen
