Magento 2 – Fix Ryft Payment Webhooks (Lightweight PHP)

I am running a Magento 2 multi-store environment with a Ryft payment gateway already integrated. The majority of the system is in place, but I need an experienced Magento 2 / payment gateway developer to audit, verify, and correctly finalise the Ryft webhook implementation. This is a senior-level technical task focused on correctness, performance, and reliability. Critical requirement (please read carefully) The Ryft webhook must be handled using a lightweight standalone PHP endpoint. ❌ NOT using Magento bootstrap (app/bootstrap.php) ❌ NOT loading the Magento framework just to receive webhooks ❌ NOT relying on heavy Apache or Magento routing The webhook should be received in plain PHP, validated, deduplicated, and only then pass confirmed data into Magento in a controlled way. The goal is minimal server load, high reliability, and zero duplicate processing. Current situation Magento 2 multi-store setup (many stores, shared codebase) Ryft payments are mostly working Webhooks are unreliable or not firing consistently Some order duplication and inconsistent order state updates Current implementation may be too heavy and loading Magento unnecessarily What I need you to do Review the existing Ryft payment and webhook configuration Verify webhook events are correctly received (eg captured, failed, refunded) Implement or correct a lightweight PHP webhook endpoint Validate webhook signatures securely Ensure idempotent processing (no duplicate order updates if Ryft retries) Ensure correct Magento order state updates once events are confirmed Confirm the final setup is production-safe and correctly architected What I am NOT looking for A full Magento rewrite Magento observers handling webhook ingestion Any solution that loads the Magento framework to receive webhooks Required experience Magento 2 (checkout flow, order states, payment modules) Payment gateway integrations Webhooks, retries, signatures, and idempotency Clean, efficient, production-grade PHP Budget This is a senior task. Fixed budget up to £750, depending on approach and experience. To apply, please answer BOTH questions below: Why is it bad practice to load Magento’s bootstrap when receiving payment webhooks, and what impact does this have on PHP-FPM and server load? How would you design webhook processing to prevent duplicate order updates if Ryft sends the same event more than once? Applications that do not answer both questions will not be considered.

Social media creation/posting x2 accounts for HR Consultancy

Hi Hi!! I have unfortunately had two bad experiences with trust and money being taken/services not delivered in the last three years from social media freelancers; so I am understandably wary and hoping that I can find someone to assist with my urgent social media needs. I need time back to focus on the business, specifically someone to take on my social media accounts on LinkedIn and Instagram. I have a niche, a strong personal brand and message. I run an HR consultancy, so knowing the challenges this possesses [selling a service not a product, and the antiquated view of HR], is going to be vital in me finding the right fit. Brainstorming potential [non-exhaustive] needs below: - Creation of posts, carousels and basic videos [I will record the videos] - Posting with appropriate knowledge of times, days and the best way to increase engagement. - Understanding the types of post, which platform and what is trending [incl. hashtags, best type of media on which day/time etc and any new ideas you think would work]. - Editing videos I already have from speaking gigs and podcasts etc to re use. - Cleverness with re-using media / finding fun ways to post and using media I already have [1000s of small to large video clips and imagery]. - I have a spreadsheet with ideas, post themes etc, however I am not a marketing specialist so would need the individual to understand buyers psychology, how to get my posts interacted with, what works/what doesn't. - Ultimate goal of lead gen via DMs / comments on posts and a strong sales pipeline built for 2026. - I am not focussed on likes and followers, however I do appreciate that the bigger the followers, the more my business is seen. - Bonus if you can do email marketing too [one per month]. - Must haves: Great written English, vocabulary, grammar and spelling. We can share a google drive, I am happy to also have my phone photo album for us by both of us for an easy way to share media. I have a lot of media already but no time to work on editing, hashtags and posting blah blah I am VERY open to ideas, taking direction if there is a video you think may work etc., photos you need me to take for a post. I work best being told what you need from me and by when. I am an owner with a sense of humour, and is needed [especially in HR], it can be good when mixed with knowledge-sharing posts and other themes [you would know what works best and when]. I'd like someone to take control who I can trust to log into my socials, create, post and the potential to monitor and even respond like me should the trust and relationship build that way in the future. A monthly retainer where we agree what is required etc is what I need and would like. This could be a long-term arrangement, so getting the right person is key. Trust. Communication and Honesty is my go-to with hiring freelancers. Especially those putting my business out into the world. This includes great written English, vocab and spelling. An agreement with confidentiality is required to be signed by both parties to ensure we are both protected. My budget is between £20-£35 per hour, but all dependant on the person/offering/relationship. Being able to work together is key. I am very busy and ADHD, so need reminding and telling. Thank you for reading! Kate Founder Elysian

I’m reaching out because we are currently expanding our portfolio of turnkey interior projects in [Prospect’s City/Region], and your recent project at [Reference a specific project if known] caught our attention."

Are you currently managing any projects where sourcing authentic, high-caliber Italian craftsmanship has been a challenge or where you're looking for a more streamlined 'turnkey' solution?" Phase 4: Handling the "I already have a supplier" Objection "I completely understand. Most of our partners already have established channels. However, Maison Italic is unique because we provide direct access to the manufacturers that aren't typically available through standard retail showrooms. Because we operate under our parent facility, Global Concierge, we handle the entire logistics and banking tail, so you don't have to deal with multiple international vendors." Phase 5: The Close (The Appointment) "I’d love to send you a digital copy of our latest curated portfolio so you can see the quality of our recent installations. Beyond that, would you be open to a 10-minute introductory call next Tuesday with our Head of Design? We can discuss how we might be able to simplify your procurement for your next project." If Accepted we will need to sign an NDA subject to receiving passport and ID documents and proof of address of the agent. At Maison Italic, we don't hire 'callers'; we hire future partners. While we provide a $300 base to cover your desk, our top performers in this role earn over $1,500 a month. One project close for a luxury villa could earn you a bonus that pays for your entire year's rent.
