The AI could not get past the payment page, so she gave up

Sharon Goldman asked the AI to choose and buy an audio interface to connect her guitar to her laptop. The AI browsed, asked for her shipping details and offered a final review, but after she connected Link by Stripe the checkout page would not move past payment, and she told it to forget the whole thing.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Asks the AI to choose and purchase an audio interface for her guitar and laptop
  2. The AI browses and makes progress, asks for shipping details and offers a final review
  3. She connects Link by Stripe, the only wallet option the AI gave her
  4. The checkout page will not move past the payment page
  5. She steps in herself and it still does not work
  6. She tells the AI to forget it

Why it’s worth knowing

The AI did the shopping and the review fine, then the one step that mattered, paying, jammed completely, even after she connected the wallet it asked for.
