Stripe first confirms the $39 monthly subscription. A signed checkout event then starts a separate, isolated website project and the domain workflow you chose.
If you requested a new domain, registration must complete before final DNS and HTTPS setup. If you brought your own domain, we email the one DNS record to add at your registrar. When the project is ready, you receive a one-time sign-in link for its secure browser editor. After the managed-project app update is installed, you can also activate that same project in the app.
Both managed clients use the same website, edit history, and monthly allowance. The App Store version 1.0 available today does not yet include the managed-project client, so use the secure browser until the update arrives.
Payment confirmation does not mean registration or provisioning has already finished. The confirmation page reports only the state we can actually verify. If activation stalls, email support@onesmallprompt.com from the checkout address.
