💳 Subscriptions & Payments (Pesapal-only)

• Payment Processor: All subscription purchases are handled via Pesapal using an in-app WebView checkout.
• Route: Use AppRoutes.paywall (/paywall) for all upgrade and subscription management flows.
• Checkout Flow: Create order → open Pesapal checkout → on callback, confirm transaction status → activate subscription.
• Manage Tab: Shows current status, plan, expiry, and payment method. Payment method is Pesapal-only; restoration of purchases is not applicable.
• Cancellation: Handled via support/manual process. The app communicates this clearly in the Manage tab.

Developer notes:

• Pesapal credentials (consumer key/secret), sandbox/live, and callback URL are read from Firebase Remote Config.
• The paywall consolidates Features, Pricing, and Manage tabs in PaywallPage.
• Programmatic navigation should use /paywall?initialSection=pricing|manage when needed.
