✨ One more step forward

Update

Shipping fast and friendly — here's what's new: swap pledge payments from stripe to paydirect (card + crypto).

What's new

  • Replace Stripe with PayDirect CheckoutWidget (@paydirectv2/react-widgets)
  • Secure same-origin proxy: widget POSTs to our /api/v1/payments, which
  • Two-step flow: startPledge (validate + Turnstile + VNOC lead + pending row)
  • Thank-you page re-verifies on return so status stays current for card/crypto.
  • Generalize pledge columns: provider_payment_id / provider_status.
  • lib/paydirect.ts (server helper); remove lib/stripe.ts + stripe webhook.
  • Admin CSV includes provider fields.
