From inquiry to a written scope
Send your target markets, product, entity and license status, current systems and preferred timing. If something is undecided, say so. An unknown payment provider or operating model can materially change the implementation.
The scoping discussion separates work that can be specified now from dependencies that need investigation. For a new launch, these may include licensing, supplier acceptance and merchant onboarding. For an existing business, they may include access to records, current contracts and a feasible migration window.
What the proposal should resolve
| Topic | Decision to record |
|---|---|
| Parties and scope | Who supplies each deliverable and what is excluded |
| Charges | Setup, recurring, variable and third-party costs; payment triggers |
| Dependencies | Inputs and approvals needed from the client or another supplier |
| Acceptance | The release, scenarios, evidence and person authorized to sign off |
| Changes | How a request affects scope, timing and price before work begins |
| Operations | Support coverage, escalation, training and configuration ownership |
| Exit | Data exports, access, transition assistance and continuing obligations |
A target date needs its assumptions beside it. Technology completion, permission to operate and commercial partner activation can be different milestones. The delivery plan should show their relationship.
Review the work before handoff
Use demonstrations and tests tied to the agreed configuration. A successful account registration is useful, but it does not settle how the service handles failed payments, duplicate callbacks, suspended accounts or corrected transactions.
At handoff, record accepted work, unresolved items and operational owners. If the engagement includes ongoing services, define where the delivery project ends and that service begins.
