You're running ads. The traffic converts. The checkout page fires. The customer gets charged. Then nothing happens. They don't see the product. They don't get the access link. They don't get the welcome email. You don't hear from them. Three days later you get an angry support message asking where their purchase is. This isn't a conversion problem. This is a redirect problem, and it's one of the quietest revenue killers in most funnels.
The Redirect Chain Nobody Maps
Most funnels have at least four redirect points after checkout: the payment processor redirects to your thank you page, your thank you page redirects to a product delivery page, your product delivery page redirects to a welcome email, and your email system redirects to a download or login link. Each one can break independently. A single broken URL in that chain means the customer pays but never arrives. You keep the money. They get nothing. And you lose the refund request, the bad review, the destroyed trust, and the referral they would have given you.
Where These Breaks Hide
- Outdated domain names in your payment processor settings that point to old pages
- Product delivery pages that got moved or renamed but the redirect wasn't updated
- Member portal links that changed when you migrated hosting or switched platforms
- Email sequences that link to product pages that no longer exist
- Conditional redirects that only break for certain payment methods or customer segments
How to Find Yours Right Now
Make a test purchase yourself. Use a real payment method if you have to. Follow the exact path a customer takes: checkout, payment confirmation, landing page, email, product access. Does each link work? Does each page load? Does the access actually work? Most business owners haven't done this in six months. Some have never done it. I found two dead checkout links in 150 templates by actually clicking through the funnel myself. It took two hours. I recovered the fixes the same day. Test today. If one link is dead, it's costing you real money every single day.
A broken redirect is revenue that disappears the moment a customer clicks it, and most business owners never know it happened.
If you want someone to find these broken redirects and every other silent revenue leak in your funnel instead of discovering them through angry customer emails, that is exactly what the Revenue Leak Audit does. See how it works at aipioneerai.com.
