Upload truth

Files are attached only after S3 metadata verification and database confirmation. Browser progress alone never unlocks payment.

Payment readiness

Choose a provider after upload confirmation and final quote pricing. Provider webhooks, not the browser redirect, mark payment verified.

PayPalCheckout option for PayPal accounts and cards; PayPal may request payer billing details during checkout.PaystackCheckout option can start from the client email on the order while availability is verified server-side.

Payment not started

The current quote is only an estimate until the server creates an order draft.

Payment confirming

A checkout return does not mark an order paid until the server verifies it.

Receipt ready

Soundtoscript issues the receipt email after verified payment and receipt generation.

Billing and receipt safeguards

The intake UI can explain readiness, but backend state remains authoritative for order creation, payment verification, and receipt availability.

Client totals, checkout amounts, receipts, and order history stay in USD.
Supporting documents are context files and never add billable duration.
Payment pending, verified, failed, and receipt-ready states stay visually distinct.
Private checkout setup and payment metadata stay behind server boundaries.
