Where checkout changed
Payment, tax, refund, and invoice questions remain high-intent commercial decisions. AI recommendations do not replace checkout eligibility.
Payment methods, tax timing, failed payment handling, refunds, and support should sit next to the recommendation result.
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
- Use `ai-saas-payment` as the transaction-qualification page and link this issue toward checkout checks
- Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work
What still needs proof
Strong recommendations with weak payment facts strand high-intent readers at the last step. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
