- Prepare an example of tracing one transaction across your service and a provider.
- Practise explaining how authorisation, capture, reversal, refund and settlement differ.
- Revisit monitoring for callback delays, error rates and reconciliation breaks.
- Think through how unreliable mobile data or a provider outage affects the customer journey.
Common mistakes
- Treating a timeout as proof that a transaction failed.
- Ignoring duplicate or out-of-order webhook delivery.
