Checkout protection

A fixed price at the moment of spend.

Your customer sees one number. You keep the integration familiar. Slice quotes bounded protection, locks the terms, and delivers the evidence trail your finance team expects.

The shape of the product

Confident at checkout. Honest after settlement.

  • Bounded protection, locked before your customer confirms.
  • Evidence and reporting available the moment settlement lands.
  • Execution stays on partner-owned rails. We never touch the float.
The customer moment

Volatility sells the opposite of confidence.

When the asset keeps moving, the spend decision feels open-ended. Checkout protection closes the loop: a fixed number, a locked quote, and a confirmation that matches what the customer agreed to.

The user-side problem is simple: nobody wants to spend now and regret it later. The product response is equally simple. Surface a clear protection choice, lock the terms at checkout, and keep the confirmation consistent with what was accepted.

The walkthrough below is one strong interaction inside a calmer story. It's not a sandbox. It's the decision surface your customer sees.

Where Slice plugs into your flow.

The demo should be useful to product and engineering without becoming the implementation manual. The public shape is quote, customer choice, confirmation. The private mechanics stay private.

Slice belongs behind your checkout, not in front of your customer. Your backend asks for a protected price, your product decides how to present it, and your payment flow remains the source of truth for consent and premium collection.

That keeps the pilot conversation concrete without publishing the parts that do not belong on a marketing page: no pricing model, exchange routing, or credential mechanics.

Operational flow

The partner trace

  1. 01

    Price the exposure

    Backend

    Your service sends the asset, amount, direction, and protection window. Slice returns a locked premium and expiry.

  2. 02

    Show one customer decision

    Checkout

    Your wallet keeps the customer moment: accept protection, decline it, or let the quote expire cleanly.

  3. 03

    Confirm after premium collection

    Partner rails

    Once your flow has collected the premium, your backend confirms the accepted quote and stores the protected transaction reference.

The operating boundary

Trust starts with the division of labour.

The page should make it obvious what Slice does, and what you keep.

What Slice provides

The calculation, the terms, the evidence.

  • Bounded, locked protection pricing at the point of intent.
  • A clean audit trail that stays legible after the payment decision.
  • Operator-grade reporting your finance team can read without a call.
What the partner keeps

The customer, the rails, the perimeter.

  • The checkout, the brand, and the customer relationship.
  • Execution on your venues, your accounts, your permissions.
  • A partner-owned execution boundary that stays explicit throughout.
Pilot scorecard

What the first pilot should prove.

A wallet does not need to buy the whole thesis upfront. The first test should be a measured opt-in module with a defined fee, duration, asset scope, and outcome trail.

Opt-in rate

How many eligible users choose protection when it is shown at the decision point.

Checkout conversion

Whether protected checkout changes completion against the same flow without protection.

Repeat usage

Whether users come back to the protected flow after the first transaction.

Average transaction value

Whether the option changes basket size or asset mix in a controlled pilot.

Comprehension

Whether users understand the premium, duration, cap, and possible outcomes.

Support objections

The questions that reach customer support, compliance, or finance before scale-up.

What this gives you

Three numbers that matter commercially.

Public confidence comes from bounded product behaviour and clear outcomes. Not from private economics.

Price Locked

One number at checkout. No drift between what's agreed and what's settled.

Audit trail Durable

Every decision and every execution lands in a trail you can read after the fact.

Float Never ours

Premiums move through your rails. Your treasury keeps signing authority.

Bring protected checkout into your pilot.

Share the surface you'd protect first. We'll come back with a pricing envelope and a realistic timeline.
