One of my developer pet peeves is when 3rd parties (especially ones that think they're helping you) tell you that something they want should be "easy" to do.

Changing the interface to a payment processing gateway, including all of the support documentation and code/security audits, is not easy.

If everyone that wanted something from you prefaced their request with "I don't see why they can't"... you'd probably get annoyed, too.
