Authentication failures require fast diagnosis without treating a plausible trace as proof.
Checkout recovery depends on narrowing the cause quickly, while payment and identity evidence requires an engineer’s judgment before action.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I entered the code twice, then the payment option disappeared and I had to start over.”

What is at stake
Shoppers who finish the one-time code can still lose their Link payment step before checkout completes. You must decide what evidence AI can assemble and where an engineer must confirm the cause.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- faster diagnosis vs. verified causality
- checkout recovery vs. authentication safeguards
- ranked evidence vs. engineer judgment
- local pilot value vs. reusable platform patterns
Why Stripe
Link checkout depends on trusted saved credentials and reliable authentication across consumer-facing TypeScript surfaces and Ruby APIs.
