... and being in the service provider business, I can tell you that way 
too many shopping carts are set up on the assumption that the product 
will ship within 24 hours.

The typical developer has never read a merchant credit card agreement, 
and doesn't know that many of them state that you do not charge the card 
until the merchandise is actually shipped.

The developer doesn't seen a need for split transactions, since no one 
ever mentioned that they'd be taking orders for a very expensive product 
with an order backlog.

I'm ashamed of what my industry has become.
