# Product Brief: Payment Gateway Integration
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem Statement
|
||||
|
||||
**What problem exists?**
|
||||
Our e-commerce platform currently lacks integrated payment processing capabilities, forcing customers to complete purchases through manual invoice processing. This creates significant friction in the buying process, with 45% of customers abandoning their carts during checkout when they discover they cannot pay immediately online.
|
||||
|
||||
**Who experiences this problem?**
|
||||
- E-commerce customers attempting to purchase products online (15,000 unique monthly visitors)
|
||||
- Sales team manually processing invoices and payment confirmations (handling 800-1,000 transactions/month)
|
||||
- Finance team reconciling payments and updating accounting systems (20 hours/week manual work)
|
||||
- Customer support handling payment-related inquiries (30% of all support tickets)
|
||||
|
||||
**How often does it occur?**
|
||||
- Affects 100% of purchase transactions (approximately 1,000 transactions per month)
|
||||
- Daily manual payment processing required for 30-40 orders
|
||||
- Weekly reconciliation bottlenecks cause 2-3 day delays in order fulfillment
|
||||
|
||||
**What's the business impact?**
|
||||
- Lost revenue: $2.4M annually from cart abandonment (45% abandonment rate on $5.3M annual pipeline)
|
||||
- Operational costs: $120K/year in manual payment processing labor (sales + finance teams)
|
||||
- Customer satisfaction: NPS score of 35 (below industry average of 50) with payment process cited as top complaint
|
||||
- Competitive disadvantage: Losing deals to competitors with seamless online checkout
|
||||
|
||||
## Target Users

## Proposed Solution
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution Overview**
|
||||
Integrate a best-in-class payment gateway (Stripe) to enable secure, real-time online payment processing with support for credit/debit cards, digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and one-click checkout for returning customers. The solution will automate payment processing, provide instant confirmation, and integrate with our existing CRM and accounting systems.
|
||||
|
||||
**How it addresses the problem**
|
||||
By enabling online payment processing, customers can complete purchases immediately without friction, eliminating the manual invoice workflow. Sales team can focus on selling instead of payment administration, finance team benefits from automated reconciliation, and the business captures revenue that was previously lost to abandonment.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key capabilities**
|
||||
- Secure payment processing for credit/debit cards and digital wallets with PCI DSS compliance
|
||||
- One-click checkout for returning customers with saved payment methods
|
||||

|
||||
- Integration with Salesforce CRM for order management and customer records
|
||||
- Automated reconciliation with QuickBooks accounting system
|
||||
- Fraud detection and prevention with 3D Secure 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
**What makes this solution different?**
|
||||
Unlike our current manual process, this provides instant payment processing (under 3 seconds) with zero manual intervention. Compared to basic payment gateways, we're choosing Stripe for its superior developer experience, comprehensive documentation, and proven reliability at scale.

||||
|
||||
## Technical Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Competitor Technical Approaches
|
||||
- **Tokenization**: All providers use it to avoid storing card data (SAQ-A vs SAQ-D compliance)
|
||||
- **Integration patterns**: Hosted (easiest), Elements (balanced), API (most flexible)
|
||||
- **Webhooks**: All use for async event handling (requires retry logic, idempotency)
|
||||
|
||||
### Architecture Patterns
|
||||
- **PSP pattern**: Use third-party provider vs building in-house
|
||||
- Pros: Fast deployment, reduced compliance, proven reliability
|
||||
- Cons: Dependency, transaction fees
|
||||
- Recommendation: Strongly recommended
|
||||
|
||||
- **Event-driven**: Use webhooks for downstream actions
|
||||
- Pros: Decouples payment from business logic
|
||||
- Cons: Requires robust event processing
|
||||
- Recommendation: Essential for production
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Requirements
|
||||
- Stripe SDK: REST API + JavaScript SDK
|
||||
- CRM: Salesforce (update customer records, orders)
|
||||
- Accounting: QuickBooks (automated posting, reconciliation)
|
||||
- Email: SendGrid (confirmations, receipts, failures)
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance & Scalability
|
||||
- Expected load: 1,000/month currently, 5,000/month in 6 months
|
||||
- Performance targets: API <500ms p95, checkout <3s total, page load <2s
|
||||
- Scalability: Stripe handles scaling, we need webhook queue for high volume
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical Risks
|
||||
- Stripe downtime: 99.99% uptime but would block all payments
|
||||
- Mitigation: Graceful degradation, monitoring, communication plan
|
||||
|
||||
- Webhook failures: Network issues could cause missed events
|
||||
- Mitigation: Stripe retries for 3 days, implement idempotency, poll as backup
|
||||
|
||||
- PCI violations: Improper storage could result in fines
|
||||
- Mitigation: Never store cards, use tokens, annual SAQ-A, security audits
|
||||
|
||||
- Fraud: Costs 2-3x transaction amount
|
||||
- Mitigation: Stripe Radar, CVV required, 3D Secure, velocity limits
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Go-to-Market Positioning
|
||||
"Complete your purchase in under 60 seconds with secure, one-click checkout - just like major e-commerce brands"
|
||||
|
||||
**Target**: E-commerce customers (B2C) expecting modern, frictionless experiences
|
||||
|
||||
**Differentiators**:
|
||||
- 60 seconds vs 3-5 minutes competitors
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Budget**: 2.9% + $0.30 = $99K annually at 1,000 transactions averaging $275
|
||||
- Acceptable given $1.8M revenue recovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Timeline**: Q2 2026 (6 months) - favors proven solutions
|
||||
|
||||

---
|
||||
|
||||
## Out of Scope
|
||||
|
||||
**Features Explicitly Excluded**:
|
||||
- Cryptocurrency payments (deferred to Phase 3, market still nascent)
|
||||
- Buy now, pay later (BNPL) options like Klarna/Affirm (Phase 2, evaluate demand)
|
||||
- Subscription and recurring billing (Phase 2, not needed for MVP)
|
||||
- International currency support beyond USD (Phase 2, market dependent)
|
||||
- ACH/bank transfer payments (low demand, complex compliance)
|
||||
- Gift cards and store credit (Phase 3 feature)
|
||||
|
||||
**Deferred to Future Phases**:
|
||||
- Advanced fraud detection rules customization (use Stripe Radar defaults for MVP)
|
||||
- Multi-currency pricing and display (Phase 2, after international expansion)
|
||||
- Invoice payment portal for net-30 terms (separate project)
|
||||
- Payment plan/installment options (Phase 2 after BNPL evaluation)
|
||||
|
||||
**Platforms Not Supported**:
|
||||
- Internet Explorer 10 and older (< 2% traffic, not worth compatibility effort)
|
||||
- Native mobile apps (web-only for MVP, may build apps in Phase 3)
|
||||
- In-person/POS payments (separate product line, not e-commerce focus)

# PRD Authoring - Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## 5-Minute Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The PRD authoring skill guides you from vague project ideas to validated Product Requirements Documents ready for implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow**: status → brief → research → create-prd → validate-prd → decompose → generate-spec
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Investment**: 18-36 hours of planning (saves weeks of rework later)
|
||||
|
||||
**Output**: Validated PRD with measurable objectives, testable requirements, and epic breakdown
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ensure you have docs/prds directory
|
||||
mkdir -p docs/prds
|
||||
|
||||
# Navigate to project root
|
||||
cd /path/to/your/project
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Check Status (30 seconds)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh status
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Output**: Shows what exists, recommends next step
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Create Product Brief (2-4 hours)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh brief "Your Project Name"
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Then**: Edit `docs/prds/your-project-name/product-brief.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Fill in**:
|
||||
- Problem statement (what, who, frequency, business impact)
|
||||
- Target users (personas with goals and pain points)
|
||||
- Proposed solution (what you'll build and why)
|
||||
- Value proposition (user benefits, business benefits)
|
||||
- Success metrics (baseline → target within timeframe)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: See `examples/01-product-brief-example.md`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Conduct Research (4-8 hours)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh research your-project-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Then**: Edit `docs/prds/your-project-name/research.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Research**:
|
||||
- Competitive analysis (3-5 competitors)
|
||||
- Market insights (size, growth, trends)
|
||||
- User feedback (pain points, desired features)
|
||||
- Technical considerations (approaches, risks)
|
||||
- Recommendations (must-build, should-build, could-build)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: See `examples/02-research-example.md`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Create PRD (8-16 hours)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh create-prd your-project-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Then**: Edit `docs/prds/your-project-name/prd.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Define**:
|
||||
- Objectives (SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
|
||||
- Success criteria (launch criteria, post-launch metrics)
|
||||
- Functional requirements (FR1, FR2, etc. with acceptance criteria)
|
||||
- Non-functional requirements (performance, security, reliability, usability)
|
||||
- Constraints and assumptions
|
||||
- Out of scope (what you won't build)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: See `examples/03-prd-example-abbreviated.md`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Validate PRD (iterative)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Draft validation (lenient mode)
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh validate-prd your-project-name --lenient
|
||||
|
||||
# Fix issues, then strict validation
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh validate-prd your-project-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Goal**: "GOOD" or "EXCELLENT" rating with zero critical issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Common fixes**:
|
||||
- Replace vague terms ("fast" → "<200ms at p95")
|
||||
- Add measurable targets ("improve UX" → "task completion rate >85%")
|
||||
- Add acceptance criteria to requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6: Decompose into Epics (4-8 hours)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh decompose your-project-name
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Then**: Edit `docs/prds/your-project-name/epics.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Break down**:
|
||||
- Group requirements into 3-7 independently deliverable epics
|
||||
- Map epic dependencies
|
||||
- Ensure 100% requirements coverage
|
||||
- Estimate effort (2-4 sprints per epic)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 7: Generate Spec Proposals
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash skills/prd-authoring/scripts/prd-authoring.sh generate-spec your-project-name "Epic Name"
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Output**: Creates `docs/changes/epic-name/` with:
|
||||
- `proposal.md` (epic scope and objectives)
|
||||
- `spec-delta.md` (technical requirements)
|
||||
- `tasks.md` (implementation breakdown)
|
||||
|
||||
**Then**: Transition to spec-authoring workflow for each epic
|
||||
|
||||
## Command Reference
|
||||
|
||||
| Command | Purpose | When to Use |
|
||||
|---------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `status` | Check project state | Start of session, after each step |
|
||||
| `brief` | Create product brief | First step for new project |
|
||||
| `research` | Create research doc | After brief is complete |
|
||||
| `create-prd` | Create PRD template | After brief and research |
|
||||
| `validate-prd` | Check PRD quality | After writing PRD, before decompose |
|
||||
| `decompose` | Break into epics | After PRD validated |
|
||||
| `generate-spec` | Create spec proposal | For each epic, transition to development |
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem Statement
|
||||
```
|
||||
[What problem] + [Who experiences] + [Frequency] + [Business impact]
|
||||
|
||||
Example: "Our e-commerce platform lacks payment processing, forcing
|
||||
customers through manual invoices. This affects 100% of transactions
|
||||
(1,000/month), causing 45% cart abandonment and $2.4M lost revenue annually."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Success Metric
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Metric name]: [Baseline] → [Target] within [Timeframe]
|
||||
|
||||
Example: "Checkout conversion rate: 55% → 75% within 30 days post-launch"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Functional Requirement
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### FR1: [Requirement Name]
|
||||
|
||||
**Description**: [What the system must do]
|
||||
|
||||
**User Story**: As a [user], I want [capability], so that [benefit]
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance Criteria**:
|
||||
- [ ] Given [precondition], when [action], then [result]
|
||||
- [ ] Given [precondition], when [action], then [result]
|
||||
- [ ] Given [precondition], when [action], then [result]
|
||||
|
||||
**Priority**: Must Have / Should Have / Could Have
|
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies**: [Other requirements or systems]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Quick Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### "docs/prds/ directory does not exist"
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p docs/prds
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "Product brief already exists"
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check what exists
|
||||
bash scripts/prd-authoring.sh status
|
||||
|
||||
# Edit existing or use different name
|
||||
vim docs/prds/project-name/product-brief.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### "Vague language detected"
|
||||
Replace with specific metrics:
|
||||
- "fast" → "<200ms at 95th percentile"
|
||||
- "many users" → "10,000 concurrent users"
|
||||
- "good UX" → "task completion rate >85%"
|
||||
|
||||
### "Success criteria may lack measurable targets"
|
||||
Add numbers:
|
||||
- Before: "Improve customer satisfaction"
|
||||
- After: "Customer satisfaction: NPS 35 → 55 within 3 months"
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips for Success
|
||||
|
||||
### Do This ✓
|
||||
- Run `status` frequently to track progress
|
||||
- Be specific with numbers (avoid "fast", "good", "many")
|
||||
- Link requirements back to objectives (traceability)
|
||||
- Validate early and often (use lenient mode for drafts)
|
||||
- Time-box research (4-8 hours max)
|
||||
- Include out-of-scope to prevent scope creep
|
||||
|
||||
### Avoid This ✗
|
||||
- Skipping research (leads to uninformed requirements)
|
||||
- Vague requirements ("should be fast and secure")
|
||||
- Unmeasurable success criteria ("improve user experience")
|
||||
- Missing acceptance criteria (how do you test?)
|
||||
- Over-engineering the PRD (done > perfect)
|
||||
- Changing PRD endlessly (lock after 2-3 iterations)
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Project
|
||||
|
||||
**Payment Gateway Integration** (see `examples/` directory):
|
||||
- **Problem**: 45% cart abandonment, $2.4M lost revenue
|
||||
- **Solution**: Stripe integration for real-time payments
|
||||
- **Value**: $1.8M revenue recovery + $100K cost savings
|
||||
- **Timeline**: 18-36 hours planning, 6 months to launch
|
||||
- **Outcome**: 5 functional requirements, 4 epics, validated PRD
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Learn**: Read `examples/README.md` for detailed examples
|

|
||||
- Full traceability from requirements back to objectives
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Workflow Test Log (`workflow-test-log.md`)
|
||||
Complete test results showing:
|
||||
- Happy path: Full workflow from status → brief → research → PRD → validate → decompose → generate-spec
|
||||
- Edge cases: 10 error scenarios tested (missing files, duplicates, invalid input)
|
||||
- Validation quality: Tests for vague language, unmeasurable criteria, missing sections
|
||||
- All tests passed with proper error handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Takeaways**:
|
||||
- All 7 commands work correctly
|
||||
- Error messages are clear and actionable
|
||||
- Validation accurately detects quality issues
|
||||
- Workflow maintains traceability throughout
|
||||
|
||||
## Using These Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### For Learning
|
||||
1. Start with `01-product-brief-example.md` to see a well-formed brief
|
||||
2. Read `02-research-example.md` to understand depth of research needed
|
||||
3. Study `03-prd-example-abbreviated.md` for PRD structure and completeness
|
||||
4. Review `workflow-test-log.md` to understand the complete workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### For Your Own Projects
|
||||
1. Use these as templates, but customize for your specific context
|
||||
2. Note the level of detail and specificity required
|
||||
3. Pay attention to how requirements link back to objectives
|
||||
4. Observe how assumptions and constraints are documented
|
||||
|
||||
### For Testing
|
||||
1. Set up a test environment: `mkdir -p /tmp/test-prd && cd /tmp/test-prd && mkdir -p docs/prds`
|
||||
2. Copy an example to test with: `cp 01-product-brief-example.md /tmp/test-prd/docs/prds/test-project/product-brief.md`
|
||||
3. Run commands to test workflow
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Project: Payment Gateway Integration
|
||||
|
||||
This example represents a realistic e-commerce payment integration project with:
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: 45% cart abandonment due to manual invoice process
|
||||
**Solution**: Integrate Stripe for real-time online payments
|
||||
**Value**: Recover $1.8M in lost revenue, save $100K in operational costs
|
||||
**Scope**: Credit card processing, digital wallets, saved payment methods, CRM/accounting integration
|
||||
**Timeline**: 6 months to launch (Q2 2026)
|
||||
|
||||
### Project Statistics
|
||||
- **Transaction Volume**: 1,000/month current → 5,000/month target
|
||||
- **Team Size**: 2 frontend, 1 backend, 1 QA engineer
|
||||
- **Budget**: $150K (development + first year fees)
|
||||
- **Expected ROI**: $1.8M revenue recovery + $100K cost savings = 12x ROI
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements Breakdown
|
||||
- **Functional Requirements**: 5 detailed (FR1-FR5)
|
||||
- Payment processing
|
||||
- Digital wallets
|
||||
- Saved payment methods
|
||||
- CRM integration
|
||||
- Accounting integration
|
||||
|
||||
- **Non-Functional Requirements**: 4 categories
|
||||
- Performance (<3s payment processing)
|
||||
- Security (PCI DSS compliance)
|
||||
- Reliability (99.9% uptime)
|
||||
- Usability (WCAG 2.1 AA)
|
||||
|
||||
### Epic Decomposition (Not Shown but Tested)
|
||||
The PRD would decompose into 4-5 epics:
|
||||
1. Payment Processing Core (Stripe integration, card payments)
|
||||
2. Payment Methods (Apple Pay, Google Pay, saved methods)
|
||||
3. CRM & Accounting Integration
|
||||
4. Security & Compliance (PCI, fraud detection)
|
||||
|
||||
Each epic would then become a spec using the spec-authoring workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns Demonstrated
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem Statements
|
||||
Format: What problem + Who experiences + Frequency + Business impact
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
> "Our e-commerce platform lacks payment processing, forcing customers through manual invoices. This affects 100% of transactions (1,000/month), causing 45% cart abandonment and $2.4M lost revenue annually."
|
||||
|
||||
### Success Metrics
|
||||
Format: Metric name: Baseline → Target within Timeframe
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
> "Checkout conversion rate: 55% → 75% within 30 days post-launch"
|
||||
|
||||
### Functional Requirements
|
||||
Format: Description + User Story + Inputs + Outputs + Business Rules + Acceptance Criteria + Priority + Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Example FR1 shows complete structure for payment processing requirement.
|
||||
|
||||
### Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
Format: Given [precondition], when [action], then [expected result]
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
> "Given valid card details, when customer submits payment, then transaction processes in <3 seconds"
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips from These Examples
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Be Specific**: Notice how every metric has a number, every timeline has a date
|
||||
2. **Show Impact**: Every feature ties back to business value (revenue, cost, satisfaction)
|
||||
3. **Link Everything**: Requirements → Objectives → Business goals (traceability)
|
||||
4. **Set Boundaries**: Out of scope is as important as in scope
|
||||
5. **Document Assumptions**: Make implicit assumptions explicit
|
||||
6. **Measure Quality**: Use validate-prd to catch vague language early
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
After reviewing these examples:
|
||||
1. Create your own project brief using the `brief` command
|
||||
2. Conduct research for your specific domain
|
||||
3. Write your PRD referencing these examples for structure
|
||||
4. Validate early and often using `validate-prd`
|
||||
5. Decompose into epics when PRD is complete
|
||||
6. Transition to spec-authoring for implementation
|
||||
|
||||
