Payment FAQ: Scope, Pricing, Timeline, Refunds

A plain-language guide to how website payments, scope confirmation, timelines, revisions, and refunds should be handled before work starts.

Quick Summary

  • This FAQ explains how payment, scope, timeline, revisions, refunds, and next steps work before starting a website service with Affiq Rahman.
  • Payment links should only be used after the project scope, package, and next step are clearly confirmed.
  • The goal is to keep the process simple, fair, and easy to understand for small-business clients.

Scope & Before Payment

1. Should I pay before sending project details?

No. Please share the project details first. Payment should only happen after the scope, package, price, and next step are clearly confirmed.

2. Why do you review the scope before payment?

Because every website issue is different. A small bug, a broken form, a slow website, and a full rebuild do not require the same amount of work. Reviewing the scope helps avoid the wrong package being chosen.

3. Can I use the payment link directly without contacting you?

It is better not to. Payment links are available for convenience, but the safest flow is to confirm the scope first so both sides understand what is included.

4. What happens after I submit the Start Project form?

Your submitted details are reviewed first. If the request is clear, I can recommend the most suitable next step, package, or payment option. If the request needs clarification, I may ask follow-up questions before payment.

5. What if I am not sure what package I need?

Start with the Free Quick Check or send the project details first. I can help you understand whether the website needs a small fix, deeper cleanup, a new website, or monthly website care.

Pricing & Package Choice

6. Are the prices fixed?

Package prices are fixed for the listed scope. If the request goes beyond the package, I will explain the difference before asking for any extra payment.

7. What is the difference between a fix package and a new website package?

A fix package is for improving or repairing an existing website. A new website package is for building a fresh page, multi-page website, or website with a small system.

8. What if I choose the wrong package?

If the payment was made before scope confirmation, the work may need to be reviewed first. If the package is clearly not suitable, I will suggest the correct option and discuss the safest next step.

9. Do you offer monthly website care?

Yes. Monthly website care is for monitoring, small edits, priority fixes, or ongoing support depending on the selected plan.

10. Can I request a custom quote?

Yes. If your request does not fit the listed package, I can review the details and prepare a custom quote based on the actual scope.

Timeline & Delivery

11. When does the project timeline start?

The timeline starts after the scope is confirmed, payment is completed where required, and all important content or access details are ready.

12. Why can the timeline change?

Timeline can change if required content is missing, feedback is delayed, extra requests are added, the website has hidden technical issues, or third-party services take longer than expected.

13. Can urgent work be done faster?

Sometimes, yes. Urgent work depends on the current workload, the size of the issue, and whether the required access or information is ready.

14. Will I get updates during the work?

Yes. For normal project work, I will give updates when there is progress, when feedback is needed, or when something important changes.

15. What happens if I delay feedback?

If feedback, files, or access details are delayed, the project timeline may also move. This helps keep the workflow fair and realistic.

Revisions & Changes

16. Are revisions included?

Small revisions are usually included when they are part of the confirmed scope. Large changes, new sections, new features, or a different direction may require a new quote.

17. What counts as a small revision?

A small revision may include text changes, spacing adjustments, small layout polish, replacing an image, or improving a section that was already part of the confirmed work.

18. What counts as a new request?

A new request may include a new page, new feature, new form logic, payment flow, admin function, automation, extra integration, or a redesign direction that was not part of the original scope.

19. Can I add more work after the project starts?

Yes, but it should be reviewed separately. If the extra work affects cost or timeline, I will explain it before continuing.

20. Why is scope control important?

Scope control keeps the work clear, prevents confusion, protects both sides, and helps the project finish without becoming messy.

Refunds, Cancellation & Payment Issues

21. Can I get a refund after payment?

Refunds depend on the situation, how much work has already started, and whether the issue is caused by unclear scope, duplicate payment, technical failure, or cancellation. Each case needs to be reviewed fairly.

22. What if I paid by mistake?

Contact me as soon as possible with the payment details. If no work has started and the payment was clearly accidental, the situation can be reviewed.

23. What if the payment fails?

If the payment fails, no project is confirmed yet. You can try again, use another available payment option, or contact me before proceeding.

24. What if I want to cancel the project?

If you want to cancel, contact me as early as possible. Cancellation is easier to handle before work has started or before major project time has been used.

25. Are Stripe and PayPal payments handled by this website?

No. Stripe and PayPal checkout pages are handled by those payment providers. This website only links to the payment options where relevant.

After Payment, Support & Next Steps

26. What should I do after payment?

After payment, keep the payment confirmation and make sure your project details, files, links, and access requirements are ready. I will use the confirmed scope as the guide for the work.

27. Does payment automatically mean the project is approved?

Payment helps confirm the next step, but the project still follows the agreed scope. For safety, scope and payment should be clearly matched before work begins.

28. Will my submitted details be stored?

Submitted details may be sent to business email notifications and may be reviewed in an admin or dashboard system for tracking. Please avoid sending passwords, payment card details, or private customer data through public forms.

29. Can I ask questions before paying?

Yes. Asking before payment is recommended, especially if you are unsure whether your request is a small fix, cleanup, new website, or monthly care plan.

30. What is the safest way to start?

The safest way is to send your details first, wait for scope confirmation, then use the correct payment link only when the package and next step are clear.
