The problem

The world is built
to make you spend.

Influencers, countdown timers, one-tap checkout. Modern shopping is engineered to bypass your better judgement.

ShopPause puts a simple hold between you and the purchase. Add anything to your list. Let it rest for 24 hours or more. When the pause is up, you decide with a clear head. Still want it? Buy with confidence. Changed your mind? Let it go, and keep the money.

How it works

Pause. Reflect. Decide.

01

Pause

Found something you want? Add it to ShopPause instead of your cart. Paste a link from any browser or app in seconds.

02

Reflect

Your reflection hold begins. 24 hours, or longer. No countdown, no pressure. The urge fades. Your clarity grows.

03

Decide

Still want it? Buy with confidence. Changed your mind? Let it go, guilt-free. Either way, you chose. Not the feed.

Features

Built for real life.

Everything you need to shop with intention.

Reflection hold
