     Paystack (checkout.paystack.com) sends X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN and cannot be
     embedded. Same-origin URLs (e.g. MoMo waiting pages) still load in an iframe.

-    synchronously in the Pay click handler (before await fetch) so the popup is not
-    blocked after the async response. An in-sheet Continue CTA remains as fallback.
+    External checkouts stay in this chrome with a Continue CTA that opens Paystack
+    in a named window (user gesture — not blocked). Auto-popups are intentionally
+    avoided so the sheet/modal always remains visibly on screen.
