Why is this only a thing with building apps?

Imagine saying that to the founders of BYD, Dell or your local corner shop when they were in the ideas stage 😅

One of the harshest lessons I ever learned: always embed a Stripe checkout rather than redirecting the user

Checkout didn’t work for them. The amount of money left on the table still makes me ill 🤢
