WORK STREAM
Unified Checkout
Single checkout surface replacing per-product checkout pages. MVP shipped across Q3–Q4 2025 with card and PayPal vaulting. V2 in flight — 2-click checkout, multi-product cart, and GPay/APay. The front door to billing.
Secure card storage through Stripe Elements. One-time entry, reuse across all checkout flows.
Braintree PayPal agreement flow. Billing agreement stored for recurring payments.
Pre-verification before payment. Bot mitigation without user-visible friction.
Transparent pricing breakdown. Shows exactly what the customer is committing to before payment.
Returning customers with a vaulted payment method skip the form entirely. Select plan → confirm → done. The vaulting work from MVP makes this possible.
Seat quantity selection with real-time pricing. Customers see the price impact of their choices before committing.
Single payment, combined invoice across products. Today each product is a separate checkout — separate payment, separate invoice. Cart unifies them.
205K Workers accounts eligible for Media products. Bundling captures cross-sell intent in one checkout flow instead of two.
Stripe Express Checkout Element integration. Browser-native payment flow. No backend changes — handled entirely through Stripe's client-side SDK.
Domain already registered with Apple. Same Express Checkout Element integration as GPay. RFC authored by Rui.
Checkout sits at the intersection of Account Management (Area 1) and Subscription Commerce (Area 2). It provides the user-facing surface for PDE's confirm-before-commit flow — the on-session payment UI that makes 3DS challenges, card declines, and authentication interactive.
Unified Checkout is the front door to billing — every payment interaction starts here. V2 extends it from single-product to multi-product cart with 2-click returning-customer flows.
