Just reading what's been quoted in the blog post, this makes it so that an upsell purchase is a distinctly different transaction from a previously completed purchase.
What was possible before:
1. Visitor enters billing information and makes a purchase
2. Visitor is shown an upsell page
3. Visitor clicks a link on the upsell page
4. The item that was clicked is automatically added to the previously completed purchase
Now, step 4 isn't possible. A retailer must make it clear (by virtue of asking for billing info again) that there is a new purchase that's about to happen.

- foulmouthboy 16y agoWell, back to the drawing board, cause the scenario I was hoping they'd fix is highway robbery.
