Getting a website to accept online payments sounds easy until you're knee-deep in gateways, security protocols, and integration headaches. I’ve been there while setting up my own project, and what really helped streamline everything was this guide I found from Dashdevs . It breaks things down into practical steps without overwhelming you. Working with them also gave me a better sense of how to avoid typical dev pitfalls, like misaligned scope or inefficient workflows. Honestly, saved me both time and sanity.
