This document discusses building reliable checkout experiences for e-commerce apps using Node.js, PouchDB, and replicated transaction documents. It recommends using a single database per customer with one document per transaction, replicating transaction documents bidirectionally for offline tolerance. The clerk would react to transaction state changes and inject state changes from backend events. Code examples are provided for the UI using PouchDB-Redux-Middleware, backend using PouchClerk, and clerk for state transitions and asynchronous updaters.
