12. Backup Sample questions..
• API authentication and communication processes, How do I get an user to start, etc.
• Why are different entry points for the API?
• Do I need to worry about the performance? Or transaction data volume, on Mobile
applications.
• Is there any more functionality coming on the new app / API?
• How was the experience working with the support team, when you had questions?
