Watch out for

Google Sheets API quotas can be exceeded during high traffic so implement request throttling.
Slack message formatting breaks if special characters are not escaped properly so sanitize all input strings before sending.
Webhook signatures must be verified to prevent unauthorized order submissions from spoofed sources.
Inventory checks may race against concurrent requests so use row locking or atomic updates in the sheet.
