🚀 New Features

• Improved service purchase flow: after payment, service orders correctly mark the payment as completed while keeping the order pending for manual approval.
• Clearer Orders page actions: “Pay Now” only appears when truly unpaid; service orders never show “Cancel” to users.

🛠️ Improvements

• Correct PayPal environment handling for the Pay Now button based on sandbox vs live.
• Orders page logic aligned with business rules:
  • “Cancel” only for non-service orders with pending PayPal/Crypto payments.
  • “Pay Now” hidden after successful service payment (payment is completed; order remains pending).
• Service payment completion now reliably updates payment status before redirecting to the service success page.
• Fixed PayPal custom_id parsing to reliably extract the product ID.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Resolved PayPal checkout issue by fixing the Pay Now URL domain logic (sandbox vs live).
• Prevented user cancellation of service-type orders in both UI and server logic.
• Blocked cancellation of orders when payment is not pending (e.g., already completed).
• Addressed edge cases where service orders redirected before recording completed payment.

⚡ Performance

• Reduced checkout friction by directing users to the correct PayPal environment automatically.
• Lowered error loops with idempotent updates for service orders on payment completion.

🔒 Security
