The Future of Checkout is Multiplayer

The Future of Checkout is Multiplayer

Checkouts have always been built for one person. But purchases aren’t always solo decisions. SuperCheckout is reimagining checkout as a multiplayer experience — collaborative, flexible, and more aligned with how we actually buy.

The Future

Most checkouts weren’t designed for how people really pay

You’ve seen it:
One person buys the thing, then messages friends for their share. Or someone’s card fails and they scramble to borrow a wallet login. Or two teammates want to split a business subscription — but one ends up footing the bill.

These are multiplayer moments. But our payment infrastructure is still stuck in single-player mode.

We’re changing that.

A new mental model for checkout

SuperCheckout is built around one idea:
What if checkout behaved like a shared workspace, not a locked gate?

Instead of asking one person to complete the entire transaction — we support:

  • Split payments across friends, teams, or family

  • Stacked payments from multiple accounts

  • Delegated payments via shared links

  • Retry & fallback flows that adapt in real-time

Each flow is collaborative, transparent, and fast — just like how we already work together online.

Designed for flexibility, not assumptions

We don't assume who’s paying, how much, or with what method.
That context comes from the user — and our system adapts around it.

It’s why flows like Split by Share, Pay on My Behalf, and SuperLinks are now part of the SuperCheckout core — not addons or edge-case tools. They reflect how people actually pay in 2025.

Multiplayer is just getting started

Collaborative checkout isn’t a niche. It’s the natural next step.

From group trips to creator subscriptions, online courses to marketplace tools — more purchases are happening as shared decisions. Checkouts should reflect that.

We’re building infrastructure for the way people already behave.
Multiplayer isn’t the future — it’s already here.
