Connecting the payment infrastructure, 15k cost — are they right?

there is something to watch out for but btw the answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

just because everyone does it doesnt mean its right. if you post the result here it will help others too.

I have an objection here. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

I didn't know that.

Theres a trap here, let me mention it. Code without setup documentation isnt yours, even if you have it.

Do you think this works at any scale? Ask who prepared the quote and who will actually do the work.

Good luck with that.

We need to take it step by step. The system lives on after delivery; maintenance is a separate line item.

Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

Exactly like that. like everyone rushing into integration fee gets stuck at the same point.

That's all, sorry if I went on too long.

Three different views emerged, they all complement each other. If scope grows, either time or budget must grow. There is no third option.

Every "we'll look at it later" in a meeting means unbilled work. btw hope this helps.

The cheap-looking path usually ends up costing more later. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

im a small business, let me explain from my side then the system lives on after delivery; maintenance is a sepparate line item.

if you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

i have a question. tbh everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

good luck with that.

Thanks for writing this, that's the right way. The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.

Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way. Good luck with that.

I disagree with you on this point. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

This is my opinion I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Timely topic.

i'd appreciate it if you shared the outcome.

Following.

Here's how it went for us. tbh if acceptance criteria aren't written when the work is done is open to debate.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.
