The migrated checkout path hides Link while the earlier flow still recognizes the shopper.
Fast merchant migration protects checkout continuity, while strict eligibility protects shoppers from a payment option that cannot complete.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I had my card saved, then the checkout asked me to type everything in again.”
Seoyeon Wu · Online shopper
A returning shopper using saved Link details at a merchant that has migrated its checkout surface.
What is at stake
Eligible returning shoppers lose the Link option after a checkout migration and fall back to manual entry. You have to weigh rapid restoration against showing a payment option that cannot complete.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- checkout recovery vs payment eligibility
- merchant migration speed vs shared logic consistency
- one-click convenience vs unsupported payment prevention
Why Stripe
Link depends on saved credentials appearing reliably across Stripe checkout surfaces when merchants change integrations.
