Yes, want to understand the trade off and would like to know what the challenge is in integrating directly with a payment provider that is closer to the networks / banks. I love Stripe for how easy it is to get started with but I am looking for opportunities to save cost further but getting closer to the acquirer

Yeah it does not make sense to pass on every error message to the customer but don't these error codes get logged on the console anyways?

Well yes but actually no. I don't think teams necessarily have to be full stack because it depends on the domain / modules around which the team is organized

Modal windows can't be bookmarked or shared as links

We use modal windows specifically for this reason (for our payment application's checkout page).

Also using a modal significantly improves the checkout experience in case of SDK flows for payment methods like Klarna, Google pay etc.

Personally I feel modal windows are better aligned to the user's flow of attention. We also have redirection flows for these payment methods to open the authentication page in a new tab but we pick the modal flow ever single time for a better experience.
