Should the florist use a custom request or provider checkout?
- Custom pending request with staff review
- Verified commerce or florist provider
Choose: Use a pending request when flower availability, delivery fit, design scope, or date capacity still needs staff judgment. Delegate checkout only when a verified provider owns payment, inventory, fulfillment, and status events for the exact workflow.
Tradeoff: A custom request keeps the experience flexible but adds review and follow-up. A provider can reduce manual steps but requires an account, plan, credentials, fees, reconciliation, and a fallback when it is unavailable.
