STEP_01
Create a scoped purchase session
Define customer, product, offer, timing, and connector context for a specific transaction moment.

What are purchase sessions in ecommerce?
Purchase sessions are portable, stateful transaction windows. They bind a customer moment to products, rules, timing, and connector execution without forcing every customer back through a storefront-first path.

Surface to session to order
STEP_02
Place the link anywhere intent exists
Use the secure link in email, SMS, ads, QR codes, chat, support, or future AI surfaces.
STEP_03
Execute through the commerce connector
When clicked, the session opens a focused buying window and finalizes through the native platform path where supported.
Transaction surfaces
The channel does not need to own checkout.
A purchase session can be launched wherever a secure link can live.
Email
SMS
Paid social
QR codes
Support

Orchestration
Static links route shoppers to a generic checkout or payment page.
Scoped sessions carry product context, timing, offer rules, and connector behavior.
Surfaces
Most tools assume email, ads, or SMS should send traffic back to the store.
Any high-intent surface can launch a secure purchase session.
State and expiration
Expiration and offer context are often separate from the destination page.
Session validity and timing are governed server-side.
Commerce execution
The link usually owns the checkout destination.
Commerce connectors execute native order and payment behavior where supported.
Purchase Session Infrastructure
If intent is already distributed, buying should be too.
Request pilot access to see how purchase sessions can work on your store, channels, and connector roadmap.
