A site that took orders and never charged

Button, form, thanks for your purchase. And not a cent collected.

A site built here sold tickets. It had its button, its form and its confirmation screen. It had no payment.

You cannot tell from the screen, because the flow ends well. What is missing is on the other side, in a row that was never written.

The cause was in how we asked for it: the generator was told to build a buy button, and it built a buy button.

What changed

Now the site DECLARES what it sells in a block of its own, and publishing loads that catalogue as real products. The purchase goes through the platform, and what you bought is delivered only when the order says paid: coming back to the page with a "success" in the address proves nothing.

And a site that was already born that way does not wait for someone to know how to ask for the fix. The editor reads the code and says it above the box — "this site does not charge" — with the button that fixes it.

A site that takes orders and does not charge is a bug of ours, not a step you missed.
