The last step should feel like the first.

Checkout is the closing chapter of a brand experience. It deserves the same care as the storefront.

✳

Keep the context

Show an order summary, the amount, and the currency alongside payment choices. A customer should not have to remember what they are paying for.

Make states explicit

An action can be pending, successful, or unsuccessful. Give each outcome its own screen and a useful next step.

Design the return journey

Customers may come back for a receipt, a refund, or support. Preserve the order reference and make those paths easy to find.

Written for the SlinePay product concept. General design guidance; no live product or performance claims.
