Use case
Exploring group checkout for shared online purchases.
Selected commerce flows may suit PayShare where one cart belongs to several people and fulfilment waits for the group to complete.
Checkout moment
A shared purchase still lands on one card.
Group gifts, household purchases, travel equipment, event supplies, and shared products can involve several contributors even though checkout expects one payer.
