Your Checkout Redirect Is Not Payment Confirmation
- ▸ The redirect is only part of the customer experience
- ▸ Payment confirmation belongs on the backend
- ▸ This applies to every ecommerce stack
- ▸ A simple bad pattern
- ▸ Webhooks can arrive before or after the redirect
- ▸ Use clear internal statuses
- ▸ Do not trust the frontend amount
- ▸ Verify the webhook
- ▸ Make webhook processing idempotent
- ▸ Return success after safe handling
- ▸ Your customer page should be honest
- ▸ Logs are part of the product
- ▸ Payment routing makes this more important
- ▸ A practical checklist
- ▸ Final thought
