Hello HN, we've recently integrated with a very decent payment processor for accepting credit cards online. They certainly don't come with the same level of control and ease of integration as some of the recent ones do like Stripe payments.

But they work and they work well for our needs. However since the payment page is hosted on their end, they force our customers to enter their billing address, zip code and phone number, for a SaaS product geared towards mobile developers we feel this is sincerely unnecessary.

Their argument is, it's fraud protection but for other processors offering the same level of fraud protection but only collecting the bare minimum amount of details (cc number, cc exp. date and name on card) we feel our users would be turned off from completing a subscription.

Is that a valid concern?

Thank you.

It's a common practice I see around in SaaS products, on their landing page they'd put up a live users counter or simply make a statement that you'll be joining for example 200,000 happy customers

Does this help increase conversion rates?
