Bug ID: WEB-1427 Title: Checkout page fails to process payment when promo code is applied Severity: High Priority: P1 (Blocks purchases) Status: Open Environment: Platform: Web Browser: Chrome 121.0.6167.85 OS: macOS 14.5 Device: MacBook Pro (M1) Environment: Production Description: When a user applies a valid promotional code during checkout, the payment process fails and displays a generic error message. The issue prevents users from completing purchases and occurs consistently across multiple test accounts. Steps to Reproduce: Navigate to the homepage Add any item to the cart Proceed to checkout Enter a valid promo code (e.g., SAVE10) Click “Apply” Enter valid payment details Click “Place Order” Expected Result: The promo code is applied successfully, the discounted total is shown, and the payment is processed without errors. Actual Result: An error message appears stating “Something went wrong. Please try again,” and the order is not completed. No transaction is recorded. Frequency: 100% reproducible Impact: Users are unable to complete purchases when using promo codes, potentially resulting in lost revenue and poor user experience. Attachments: Screen recording showing error flow Console log file Screenshot of error message Additional Notes: Issue does not occur when no promo code is applied Tested with multiple promo codes and payment methods No related backend errors visible in user-facing logs Suggested Priority Rationale: This bug directly blocks checkout completion for a common user path and should be addressed before any new feature releases.

How do you approach identifying and documenting bugs in digital products?
My approach to this is to first replicate the problem reliably, then provide a clear set of steps, expected and actual results, and the environment in which the problem was experienced, along with evidence. In addition, I would also prioritize the bugs in order of impact and frequency, so the most critical ones are fixed first.
