CURRENTLY ASKING: “OKAY, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE API TIMES OUT?”
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

The Third-Party API Latency Spike
A core integration partner's API has doubled in response time. Your checkout flow depends on this call. Users are seeing spinner fatigue, and your own system's threads are hanging while waiting for the remote server's response.
Waiting on a partner is like waiting for a teenager to clean their room: eventually, you just do it yourself or stop caring.
AWAITING INPUT
Choose an answer. The consequences will introduce themselves.
