Background and pain
The pain
No price lock between cart and checkout — every price edit turns into complaints, refunds and bad reviews.
A buildable angle
The opening
A price-lock for the checkout session plus an alert that warns operators which live sessions would be affected.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "checkout / pricing" and check which single step they actually cover.
- Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Shopify Community, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
