The Challenge

The five-step checkout had a 61% drop-off rate, concentrated at a step that gave no feedback while payment was processing.

The Approach

Collapsed the flow to three steps, added optimistic UI for address and payment validation, and surfaced errors inline instead of on submit.

The Result

Checkout conversion rose 12% over the following quarter, with the largest gain among mobile users.
