One rail, and what it is handed
A payment link on Stripe's own pages. A second rail was planned and came off on 16 September for the first end-to-end store: one that is half set up is a second thing to explain here and a second thing to keep true, and neither is worth it while the first one is not live. The plan for it is kept↗ rather than deleted.
| What it is | What it takes from you | |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | A payment link against a named product at a stated price | Name, email and card, on Stripe's own pages |
| Contactless | A card tapped on a terminal at a stand, for the amount due now | Name, contact and card, on the terminal |
The link has not been created yet. Your order↗ says so on the button rather than showing something that looks live — a greyed-out button is a lie about which half of the work is done.
