Diagnose checkout failure from the address
Overskill’s checkout help says payment flows require the published app address, not an editor preview. It also distinguishes a fully connected custom domain from one still verifying. This gives you a useful first diagnostic: record the exact address and where the checkout was opened. Do not immediately regenerate the purchase screen because a preview attempt failed. A configuration mismatch and a broken product flow require different fixes, and changing both at once makes the result harder to interpret.
Trace the product through the order
Make a short record of the displayed product, expected amount, selected plan and intended customer access. Use the provider’s supported safe test procedure only after the necessary setup and permission exist. Do not assume a zero-price promotion exercises the same behavior as a card payment, refund or dispute. A successful order should correspond to the intended access change, while an abandoned or failed order should not accidentally unlock a paid feature. Those are separate acceptance cases.
Verify checkout success and customer access
A receipt is not enough when the product is access to an app. Check whether the correct account receives access, whether a refresh preserves it and whether the buyer can return through a clear sign-in path. Write down the support route for someone whose payment and access disagree. Avoid repeating a purchase solely because the page is slow; first inspect the existing transaction through the supported provider interface. This is a proposed operational checklist, not a record of transactions we performed.
Publish only the promise you verified
If checkout cannot yet be tested, describe the product as a preview or waitlist rather than presenting a working purchase journey. Keep any payment-provider onboarding, legal acceptance and financial account steps separate from editing the app. Once authorized tests pass, verify the actual published button and return page, not a copied link from a different project. Our guidance is based on the merchant’s documented address restriction and original failure scenarios; it is not evidence that your payment account is eligible or configured.
