What this run

has verified.

Spur's Functional Testing agent opened the e-Gift Card PDP and selected a $100 amount to confirm the price tracked the choice. It did and the same pass caught the Afterpay line reading $250 per installment, a figure that never recalculated as the amount changed.

Spur Agent Analysis

Failure reason: The Afterpay line on the e-Gift Card PDP read "4 installments of $250" for a $100 card, implying a $1,000 total, and never recalculated when the amount changed, appearing hardcoded to a fixed figure while the main price displayed correctly.

9 Step - Spur Observation

What this

one catch saved.

4hrs

Dev time saved

Shipped, this becomes a payment-display ticket and an engineer tracing why the installment figure is hardcoded to the maximum amount instead of the selection.

Alarming

Buyer confidence

A customer buying a $100 gift card who sees "four payments of $250" has every reason to think they'll be charged $1,000 the kind of number that makes someone check their bank before checkout.

3hrs

Per-amount checks

Catching this by hand means stepping through every gift card amount and doing the Afterpay math on each to notice the figure never moves off $250.

The actual test

in

Calculation bug

A gift card amount validation test on a yoga iOS app. Spur searched for the e-Gift Card, opened the PDP, and switched between amounts to confirm the price tracked each selection. It did, and along the way it flagged that the Afterpay installment figure stayed pinned at $250 whether the card was $100 or $50, a number that would leave a real customer unsure what they're actually being charged.

The Afterpay installment amount shows "4 installments of $250" for a $100 gift card, which is mathematically incorrect. It should show "4 installments of $25" (4 × $25 = $100). The displayed installment amount of $250 would imply a total of $1,000, not $100. This is misleading financial information, though the main product price of $100 is correctly displayed.

The Afterpay installment amount displays "$250" for a $50 gift card, which is incorrect. For a $50 gift card, 4 installments should be $12.50 each, not $250. This Afterpay display bug appears consistently regardless of the selected gift card amount.
