#### THE MISSION
70% of online carts are abandoned and businesses are leaving $260 billion dollars a year on the table because of bad checkout experiences.
This is an astronomical opportunity for developers who can **build a better checkout**.
We’re challenging developers to use [Rapyd’s Hosted Checkout Toolkit](https://docs.rapyd.net/build-with-rapyd/docs/checkout-toolkit) to rethink checkout.
From embedding checkout into ads and invoices to adding checkout to new applications and creating better experiences – assemble your **team (max 4)** and see if you have the right stuff.
