feat(skills): rework payments around the placed-cart lock, add Mollie and Two

[Plopix]

Reworks the payments skill from the crystallize.com payment-gateway docs, without the deprecated Node request-handler library.

SKILL.md

• The common flow from the docs: place the cart, create the provider session, wait for the webhook, then create the order.
• Lock the cart before you charge. The page explains the two-tab attack and how place prevents it: createFromCart refuses a cart that isn't placed. It also explains that place re-prices the cart, and that writes to a placed cart are silently dropped.
• One payment per cart. Each provider's idempotency mechanism keeps one session per cart. A second payment that still gets through is recorded on the order and flagged for refund, never turned into a second order.
• The webhook skeleton. Verify over the raw body, re-fetch when the notification is unsigned, then createOrderOnce:
  • takes the Shop API /lock;
  • creates the Core customer if it's missing;
  • calls createFromCart once;
  • waits until the cart shows ordered.
• Read-only return page. It takes the cart id from the URL and asks the provider for the payment's status while the cart is still placed.
• Generic Shop API payment records for every provider. paymentStatus is set once, at creation.
• Capture and cancel from fulfilment pipeline stages. A Crystallize webhook, verified with createSignatureVerifier, calls the provider, then setPayments updates the record.

References

• All 9 existing references were rewritten and re-verified against the providers' current docs (2026-10-06).
• Each one now includes what its crystallize.com page says.
• Provider-specific features from the old boilerplates are kept as plain provider API calls: Montonio bank picker and parcel machines, Vipps QR/app-switch, receipts and Login, Klarna's category chooser, Qliro's extras, and others.
• New references: Mollie (Payments API) and Two (B2B invoice).
• Every code block compiles under tsc --strict against @crystallize/js-api-client 7.4 and the providers' SDKs. Nothing was run end-to-end against a provider.

How it was tested

Following the writing-skills process, each scenario was run without the skill first, then with it, and the written answers were compared. Nothing was executed.

• Without the skill (Stripe checkout, QuickPay callback, Klarna capture/refund), the answers missed:
  • the concurrent-webhook lock;
  • creating the Core customer;
  • the silently dropped writes on a placed cart;
  • and they wrote typed Klarna payments through Core updateOrder.
• With the skill, all three closed those gaps. So did four more scenarios: Mollie, Two, Montonio parcel machines, and the Vipps two-tab bug.

Needs a decision on the platform side

• Shop /order can't change paymentStatus after creation. addPayments and setPayments take only id and payments. Patching it through Core updateOrder pushes Core's whole order back to the Shop store, which can overwrite the payments just set. So the skill leaves paymentStatus as created, and the payment record's meta.state tracks capture and refund. A setPaymentStatus mutation on Shop /order would fix this.
• The crystallize.com Shop API orders page says to "include paymentStatus alongside your payment updates". The API doesn't support that.

Not done

• The live reference-selection eval (bun run bin/eval-reference-selection.ts) failed with a Workers AI authentication error. Wrangler is logged in to a different Cloudflare account than the one pinned in wrangler.jsonc. The Mollie and Two cases are added and ready to run.

Requires @crystallize/js-api-client 7.5.0 (published)

The shared helper uses createShopOrderManager, createShopCustomerManager and createShopLock from @crystallize/js-api-client 7.5.0, which builds on @crystallize/schema 6.15.0. Both are now on npm. Every code block in payments (SKILL.md and the 11 references) and in js-api-client was re-checked with tsc --strict against the published packages.

The Shop API /lock is opt-in, under "Serialising order writes (optional)". It is never used by default or in the Pay route.

js-api-client and mutation skills (consequences of 7.5)

• js-api-client:
  • The five new shop*Api callers.
  • The shared Shop API token and its scopes.
  • createShopOrderManager, createShopCustomerManager and createShopLock, with their gotchas: meta is read back as an object, writes persist just after the response, and optional fields reject null.
  • The helpers table now marks each one Core or Shop, with guidance on when to use createOrderManager (Core) vs createShopOrderManager (Shop).
  • Tested before and after the edit: without it, an agent recommended Core createOrderManager for a cart-based order. With it, the agent answered all five Shop API questions correctly.
• mutation: the JS snippet now uses nextPimApi for Core instead of the legacy pimApi, and shows the Shop API callers.
• payments: the description is trimmed under the 1024-character skill limit.
