Same outcomes on every UXFix rule · how verdicts work
✓ Pass1

Delegated-payment signals present.

~ Partial0

Some signals but incomplete implementation.

✕ Fail39

None.

not assessable is recorded when the rule applied but the store could not be judged on it (bot protection, a region lock, a step we could not reach), and not applicable when the store has nothing for the rule to judge. Those stores are left out of every number on this page, never guessed. Why we do that
Why it matters

The checkout does not declare support for delegated-payment (ACP tokenization). Agents cannot pass a tokenized payment method on the buyer's behalf.

Delegated-payment is the piece that actually lets agents complete a purchase without asking the buyer to type their card. Stripe and PayPal both support this via their ACP modes. Without it, agents can prep the order but hand it back to the buyer to finalize.

That sentence is the one a failing store sees in its own UXFix report.How rules are weighted and scored →

A pass means: Delegated-payment signals present.

Score gain
+7.7pts

Score gain is roughly what a fail-to-pass change adds; rules that could not be judged are left out, which can move it a little. Re-run a free audit after the change ships to confirm the verdict moved.

Checklist for the pass
