# Add Simple Online Payments to an Existing Website in Revere

Add the smallest payment flow that matches the business need, from a hosted payment link or checkout to a fuller store only when the workflow actually requires it.

A business does not need a full online store merely because customers need a way to pay online.

The right payment flow depends on what is being paid for and what staff need to know after the transaction.

## Define the payment case first

Clarify whether customers are paying:

- a fixed amount;
- an invoice;
- a deposit;
- a donation;
- a customer-entered amount;
- another clearly defined total.

That determines whether a payment link, hosted checkout, invoice flow, or fuller ecommerce system is appropriate.

## Prefer provider-managed payment collection where practical

Hosted payment pages and provider-managed checkout can keep the sensitive card-entry portion of the transaction on infrastructure designed for payment processing.

That does not remove every merchant security or compliance responsibility, but it avoids building a custom card-entry system when the business does not need one.

The exact provider, supported payment methods, and eligibility should be verified before implementation.

## Define what happens after payment

A successful payment may need to trigger:

- a receipt;
- an order or payment record;
- a confirmation page;
- staff notification;
- a customer follow-up;
- access to a service or product.

Do not treat “payment succeeded” as the complete business workflow.

## Keep policies explicit

Refunds, taxes, fulfillment, cancellation rules, and what the payment represents should be clear before the customer submits money.

Those responsibilities belong to the business even when a payment provider handles the transaction itself.

## Avoid collecting extra payment data

The website should collect only the information needed to connect the payment to the business process.
