Payments guide

The full 39

We pulled our own transaction data from every day of the World Cup to see what five weeks of nonstop demand does to a payment system.

See what we learned

Sustained demand tests three things at once

Managing one of these for a day is easy. Managing all three for five weeks straight is the actual test.

Volume

The group stage ran matches every day, sometimes four. Volume never came down between them, and it didn't come down on off days either.

Risk

Fraud goes looking for a system that's already busy. When everything looks unusual, nothing does.

Trust

Uptime on one big night can be luck. A system that holds for five weeks disappears into the background—and that's the point.
