Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting
Common architectural questions, edge reliability guarantees, and troubleshooting tips for your ParityEdge deployment.
Q1.What happens if a visitor uses an ad-blocker or the edge network is unreachable?
ParityEdge is architected with a strict Fail-Open Guarantee. If network connectivity fails, a third-party ad-blocker interferes, or the edge API times out, the script silently terminates without throwing uncaught JavaScript errors or breaking the host layout. Your website continues rendering standard full pricing normally (0-CLS).
Q2.How does the Anti-VPN & Datacenter Proxy Shield work?
Cloudflare edge nodes automatically inspect the incoming Autonomous System Number (ASN). If the connection originates from a known cloud hosting provider (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Oracle Cloud), ParityEdge identifies the session as a proxy/VPN and denies the discount without displaying an alert.
Q3.How do I test different countries without buying a commercial VPN?
Use the built-in Country Simulator tab inside your project workspace. You can select benchmark countries (e.g. 🇮🇳 India, 🇧🇷 Brazil, 🇵🇱 Poland, 🇺🇸 United States) to simulate geolocation, test discount calculations, and verify the Anti-VPN shield in seconds directly in your dashboard.
Q4.How do I whitelist multiple domains or staging environments?
In your project settings under "Whitelisted Domains", enter comma-separated domains (e.g. `yourdomain.com, staging.yourdomain.com, localhost:3000`). ParityEdge will accept embed requests from all authorized domains.
Q5.Does ParityEdge automatically generate discount coupons in Stripe or Lemon Squeezy?
No. You create the promo codes (e.g., `PARITY50` or `LATAM40`) inside your Stripe / Lemon Squeezy dashboard and configure the matching code in ParityEdge. When an eligible visitor clicks the banner, ParityEdge appends `?prefilled_promo_code=PARITY50` to your checkout links automatically.
Q6.Is ParityEdge compliant with GDPR and CCPA privacy regulations?
Yes. ParityEdge does not store visitor IP addresses, set tracking cookies, or build behavioral user profiles. Geolocation is resolved ephemerally in RAM at the edge node, ensuring 100% Zero-PII compliance out of the box.
Q7.What is the performance overhead of the embed script?
The standalone embed script (`parity.global.js`) is approximately 5.4 KB gzipped. Edge lookup responses resolve in under 10ms via Cloudflare KV. The banner is injected into an isolated Shadow Root to prevent CSS recalibration across the main document.
