Could you build this?
Partial While the front-end interface is straightforward, handling financial transactions safely requires PCI-DSS compliance and secure banking integrations.
What it would actually take: A compliant payments service requires high-availability backend services (Go/Node.js) integrated with payment processors/card networks, hardened security with tokenization under PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance, and robust webhook reconciliation engines with automated dispute and fraud detection pipelines.
