Payments & commerce integration

2–4.6 weeks typical Fixed quote after scoping

Take payments properly — checkout, quotes, invoices, and installments — with money math the server enforces and payment events that never get lost.

What we build

Money moving through your product, done to a standard an accountant would sign off: Stripe integration with quotes, invoices, deposits, and scheduled installments; every figure computed in integer pence on the server with enforced bounds, never trusted from a browser or a model; and payment webhooks that survive replays, retries, and downtime, so 'the customer paid' and 'the system knows' never drift apart. Covers tax/VAT setup and the live-mode go-live checklist, and — for mobile — ad monetization and server-protected premium entitlements. Choose this when taking money is the project; if payments are one feature inside a larger server build, backend development can absorb it.

What you get

  • The payment provider integrated and taking a live payment end to end
  • A quote-to-invoice flow live in production
  • A server-side pricing test suite covering money arithmetic and the agreed pricing bounds
  • A replay test proving a duplicate webhook delivery is processed exactly once
  • Tax/VAT configured for the agreed jurisdictions
  • A completed live-mode go-live checklist

How the work unfolds

  1. Integrate the payment provider
  2. Build the quote and invoice lifecycle
  3. Enforce server-side money math and pricing bounds
  4. Build replay-safe payment webhooks
  5. Schedule installments with automatic reconciliation
  6. Configure tax and live-mode settings
  7. Protect premium entitlements server-side

What shapes the price

Before you see a number, our scoping conversation asks:

  • Will clients pay in one go, or in stages — a deposit up front with the balance later, or a payment plan? Installment scheduling with reconciliation is separate work from one-shot payment. A deposit up front implies a balance collected later — a brief that mentions deposits has already answered this question.
  • Does paying unlock ongoing access to something — premium features, content, membership? Server-side entitlement protection only exists when payment gates access.

How an engagement starts

This work builds on Discovery workshop, so scope, boundaries and constraints are agreed before anything is built.
