Tokenization, PCI requirements, and webhook reliability: what to get right before accepting your first online payment.
Never touch raw card data
Use hosted fields or redirect checkout so card numbers go straight to the provider. Tokenization keeps your servers out of PCI scope.
Trust webhooks carefully
Verify signatures, handle duplicate events, and reconcile orders against provider records daily so no payment is ever lost or double counted.
Good engineering is about making the right trade-offs early, then measuring the results.

Every project is different, so adapt these ideas to your goals, team size, and budget. If you would like expert help with fintech, the team at Aveqro Technologies can guide you from planning to launch.
