Everything before checkout is potential. Checkout is revenue.
The last few clicks are the only ones that ever pay you, and they run through parts of your stack you do not own. KeyPages checks that path against production, without ever placing an order.
Checkout is where your app stops being yours.
Checkout failures cluster at boundaries. Each one can break on a day you shipped nothing at all, which is exactly why they are the failures you find out about last.
Payment providers ship changes on their own schedule. Their bad afternoon becomes your broken checkout, with no deploy of yours involved.
Checkout often crosses to a host you do not deploy to. Whatever happens on the other side of that hop is invisible from your side.
Hosted checkout renders markup that is not in your repository, so it cannot be covered by your tests.
Which step broke, and what it cost the customer.
KeyPages walks the path a buyer takes and records each step. When one fails, you get the step, the reason, and the evidence, rather than a graph that says something is wrong somewhere.

The page sits there, half a checkout, going nowhere.
Staging is not where the money is.
- Your tests run before the change
CI proves the code you wrote behaves. It says nothing about a third party who changed something an hour after you deployed.
- Staging uses different keys and different providers
A sandbox payment integration passing is not evidence that the live one is working right now.
- So the check has to run in production
Continuously, against the real page, with the real dependencies a real customer would load.
How we check checkout without ever placing an order.
KeyPages verifies that the checkout path is reachable and that the expected checkout signals are present on the rendered page. It confirms a customer could proceed. It does not proceed for them.
- No payment is ever submitted.
- No order is created in your system.
- No card details are entered or stored.
- No test data ends up in your reporting.

Paste your cart or checkout URL. KeyPages works out the path and starts watching it.
