B7. Need payments

What this page helps you do

Account for payment-related launch work without overcomplicating the whole guide.

Why it matters

Payments raise the cost of mistakes quickly.

You should already have

  • a checkout, billing, or subscription flow

Skip this page if

  • the app does not process payments

What to do

  • protect billing routes
  • verify webhook handling
  • test a safe non-live flow first
  • review rollback and support implications

Use a trusted payment provider and keep your first billing flow simple.

Common mistakes

  • skipping webhook tests
  • mixing live and test credentials
  • not knowing what happens after failed payments

Next step

Go to R8. Launch checklist.

Advanced notes

TODO for contributors: add a short “payments launch minimum” checklist.
