Where checkout changed
Stripe Tax and payment queries remain visible, so commercial pages should answer total cost, tax timing, payment methods, invoices, and refunds early.
Readers can only act when they know whether the payment path applies to their market and buyer type.
Do not trust one conversion number
The useful question is no longer whether a purchase happened; it is which step created the hesitation, missing fact, or measurement gap.
Check the event model
- Continue using `ai-saas-payment` as the qualification sheet and link it from this issue
- Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work
What still needs proof
Payment uncertainty keeps high-intent visitors in comparison mode. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
