the Website Bonding API in action
Qualified merchants can leverage the Website Bonding API to integrate buySAFE trust signaling into their retail Website and offer bonds to their buyers at checkout. Merchants have the option to bond all of their transactions on behalf of their customers, or let their customers purchase a bond for a nominal fee to guarantee an individual transaction.
Here is an example of a shopping cart where the bond(s) are available for a buyer to purchase:
In this option, a buyer can see which items is bonded, the bond purchase price, learn about the bond and what is guaranteed, and choose to decline the bond guarantee (By clicking on the buySAFE button) or proceed to checkout.
When a buyer chooses to decline the bond, the cart is updated and looks like this:
As you can see, the buySAFE button is now unchecked and the item is not bonded. The price of the cart has been adjusted.
In this last example, the merchant is offering bonds to the buyer for free. Here, it is made very clear that the buyer is receiving something extra on behalf of the merchant. This situation is intended to best optimize conversion.
