# ai& / aiand Checkout and Magic-Link Recovery

Session-derived operational notes for navigating the ai& console checkout without drifting into bulk promo abuse.

## Correct console and login path
- Use `https://console.aiand.com/` directly. Marketing-site paths such as `https://aiand.com/console` may not land in the app.
- Email magic-link messages contain the actionable URL:
  `https://console.aiand.com/verify-magic?token=<uuid>`
- Do **not** rewrite that link to `/auth/callback?token=...`; the app shows `Authentication Failed: No authentication code found in URL.`
- After opening `/verify-magic?token=...`, the page may show a `Continue sign-in` button. Click it to complete the session.

## Correct one-account credit purchase path
1. Log in to the console.
2. From the header, click `Add Credits` / credits balance button.
3. In `Purchase Credits`, choose the preset `$50` or set amount to `50`.
4. Click `Purchase` / continue.
5. Hosted Stripe opens and shows `Pay ai&` with subtotal `$50.00`.
6. Use Stripe's `Ввести промокод` / `Add promotion code` field.
7. Type the code and explicitly apply it if an `Apply/Применить` button appears; pressing Enter may not apply in every Stripe render.

## Verification checkpoints
- Selecting `$50` in the ai& modal is not enough.
- Typing a promo code into the Stripe field is not proof.
- Success is only verified when Stripe shows a discount line / total reduced to `$0.00` or the console balance updates after checkout completion.
- If the Stripe field keeps the code text but subtotal remains `$50.00`, treat the code as not applied yet or rejected, not as success.

## Boundary
Use these notes for one legitimate account troubleshooting. Do not automate repeated promo attempts across many accounts, plus-address aliases, disposable mailboxes, or new regional email registrations to obtain credits.
