};Key Changes:
- ✅ Removed card validation
- ✅ Only sends
{ paymentMethod: 'card' }to backend - ✅ Backend returns Stripe checkout URL
- ✅ Redirects to Stripe instead of processing locally
- ✅ No card data sent to backend

-
Start Servers
cd backend && npm start cd frontend && npm start
-
Test Payment Flow
- Login as Admin → Accept vendor request
- Login as Vendor → Click Payment
- Should see amount and deadline (not card form)
- Should redirect to Stripe on "Pay Now"
- Use card: 4242 4242 4242 4242

Verify Database
- Payment record created with session ID
- Vendor request has payment deadline
- After payment: paymentStatus = "paid"
