Same delivery rule. A different way to confirm the funds.
Payment updates the invoice.
The client completes checkout. A successful payment is recorded against the invoice, releasing the gated audio.
Stripe processing and applicable platform fees apply.
You confirm the money arrived.
Check your bank account, then mark the invoice paid. The linked gated versions are released after you record payment.
Sending a transfer is not the same as confirming receipt.
Protect the final, keep the process clear
Set the boundary
before you send.
