Source material given with the request

week of Oct 19-23, Payments team (Corvane) - shipped saved cards for returning customers on web, 18% of checkouts used it in first 3 days - one tap pay still in QA, 6 open bugs - card decline rate down from 4.1% to 3.6% after retry logic change - Dana's birthday thurs, cake in the kitchen - next week: finish QA on one tap pay, start design for invoices v2 - still waiting on legal to sign off on the new card processor contract, EU launch can't start until they do - Marco out next week

with the skill

💳 Payments Team (Oct 19-23) Progress: Shipped saved cards for returning web customers, and 18% of checkouts used it in the first 3 days. The retry logic change cut the card decline rate from 4.1% to 3.6%. One tap pay is in QA with 6 open bugs. Plans: Finish QA on one tap pay and start design for invoices v2. Problems: Legal has not yet signed off on the new card processor contract, which blocks the start of the EU launch. Marco is out next week, so capacity will be slightly reduced. I left out Dana's birthday since it's not relevant to leadership. If you'd rather not flag Marco's absence as a problem, I can drop it.
