Note on the legal entity name shown at checkout. This merchant is a China-registered business. PayPal’s checkout page displays the registered legal entity name of the receiving account, which appears in Chinese. The brand operating the website and delivering the service is Kou Automation. All contracts, invoices, receipts and deliverables are issued under the registered entity, and the contact email on this document (kou@kouautomation.com) reaches the merchant directly. This is standard for cross-border providers registered in China and is not a third-party or proxy arrangement.
2. Buyer Checkout Path (4 steps)
Browse the service page. The customer opens https://kouautomation.com/automation-audit.html. The page lists the service scope, deliverables and the fixed price USD $49.00 one-off. No registration, no account and no card is required to view the page.
Click the payment button. The button reads “Get Your $49 Automation Audit” and opens PayPal’s official hosted checkout. The link is generated by PayPal’s own Website Payments service from the merchant account email kou@kouautomation.com.
Complete payment on PayPal’s page. The buyer pays on PayPal’s own domain (paypal.com) using a PayPal account, a registered debit/credit card, or guest card checkout. The merchant never receives, stores or transmits any card number.
Delivery after payment. On successful payment the buyer is returned to https://kouautomation.com/contact.html and receives an email confirmation from PayPal. The merchant then collects a short written brief and delivers the completed audit report within 24–48 hours.
