A flexible order system with secure payment handling—charging customers only when the job is done.

### The Challenge This project focused on building a custom backend system that gives businesses full control over their order workflow while handling payments in a smarter, more flexible way. The client needed more than just a basic order system—he wanted the ability to securely store customer payment details and charge them after completing the service. I translated this requirement into a reliable, scalable system using Stripe. ### The Problem The client needed an order system that could allow customers to place orders easily, store customer card details securely, and charge customers only after service completion. The complexity was in implementing delayed payments without compromising security or user experience. A standard checkout flow wouldn’t solve this. ### The Solution I developed a custom backend system integrated with Stripe to handle advanced payment flows. The system collects and securely stores customer payment methods using Stripe, allows the business owner to charge customers later when services are completed, and provides a structured order management workflow. **Key Features:** - Secure Stripe payment method storage - Delayed charging (post-service billing) - Custom order management workflow - Admin panel integration for easy control - Scalable backend architecture ### The Results - Successfully implemented secure delayed payment flow using Stripe - Reduced development time by using a pre-built admin interface - Delivered a system ready for real-world business operations - Earned a 5-star rating and follow-up project from the client
