Amazon checkout errored, so it moved to Stumptown's site, collected shipping details and stalled on an identity check before payment.

best use cases/insights from the Instinct group chat so far: 1/ check in for flights + move your seat; 2/ amazon (flowers, repeat orders) although some people said it didn't work for them; 3/ purchase clothing drops. it works, just budget time bc was slow; 4/ most people aren't using Link to purchase, just vaulted credit card.
