Customer journey
From browse to paid in 3 steps
Customers never create an account. No checkout cart, no payment form — just tap and pay with an app they already have.
1
Browse products
Customers visit the products page and tap any listing to see full details — photo, price, description, and seller contact info.
products.html → product-detail.html
2
Choose a payment method
Three payment buttons appear on every product page. The customer taps whichever app they use — Cash App, Venmo, or Zelle — and the amount is pre-filled where possible.
Cash App · Venmo · Zelle
3
Payment goes directly to the seller
No middleman. The money lands in the seller's account instantly. My-Orders.app takes no cut and sees no transaction data.
Peer-to-peer · instant · zero fees
4
Submit an order form (optional)
For custom or quantity orders, customers fill out the order form. Details are saved to the database and the seller gets an email notification via Resend. This step is separate from payment — both happen independently.

Payment methods
Three ways to pay — all live
Every product page shows whichever payment methods the seller has set up. At minimum, sellers must provide a Cash App $cashtag.
Primary · Required
Cash App
cash.app/$cashtag
The big green button. Opens the customer's Cash App directly with the seller's $cashtag pre-loaded. Most customers already have it.
Opens cash.app in a new tab
Optional
Venmo
venmo.com/@handle
Opens Venmo in the browser or app with the seller's handle. Sellers add their @handle when listing a product.
Opens venmo.com in a new tab
Optional
Zelle
Phone or email
Zelle has no universal deep-link, so the button copies the seller's phone or email to the clipboard. The customer pastes it into their own Zelle app.

Known gaps in Phase 1
- No automatic payment confirmation is sent to the customer after they pay
- Sellers have no way to mark an order as paid or fulfilled yet
- The order form and the payment step are disconnected — both happen independently
- No receipt or transaction ID is generated — trust and direct messaging bridge the gap for now
