Buy Now Button – Editor's Choice
The "Buy Now" Button: A Catalyst for the Digital Economy In the landscape of modern e-commerce, few elements are as deceptively simple yet fundamentally powerful as the "Buy Now" button. Often just a brightly colored rectangle with two or three words, this interface component serves as the final gateway between consumer desire and the finalized transaction. Far from being a mere aesthetic choice, the "Buy Now" button is a sophisticated tool of user experience (UX) design, psychological persuasion, and massive economic impact. The Evolution of Frictionless Commerce
The effectiveness of the "Buy Now" button relies on the psychology of commitment and urgency. While a "Learn More" button suggests low-risk exploration, "Buy Now" signals a definitive action that appeals to shoppers who have already moved through the research phase of the sales funnel. To maximize its impact, designers use several strategic techniques: How to Ease Purchase Anxiety for First-Time Buyers buy now button
Historically, online shopping was a multi-step process involving carts, registration forms, and multiple confirmation screens. The introduction of streamlined purchase buttons—most notably pioneered by Amazon’s "1-Click" patent—revolutionized this journey by removing "friction". By allowing returning customers to skip the traditional checkout line, retailers transformed shopping from a deliberate, multi-minute task into a near-instantaneous action. This UX innovation is so valuable that experts estimate it contributes billions to the bottom lines of major retailers by capturing high-intent traffic before the "intention vaporizes" due to outside distractions.

Hello,
We followed your guide to the letter on a 2016 and 2019 server but we keep running into the problem that the SCEP application pool keeps crashing for no real reason. We already ruled out a mistake in the templates or wrong CA certs in the intermediate.
We can see the Cert requests arrive but IIS dies everytime we see this in the NDES log:
NDES COnnector:
Sending request to certificate registration point. NDESPlugin 18-4-2019 17:04:05 3036 (0x0BDC)
Event viewer just shows us that w3wp.exe has crashed and that the faulty module is ntdll.dll.
We’ve been banging our heads against this problem for a week now so we hope you have any idea where to look.
Regards,
Herman
Nick, your stuff is amazing as always! .NET 3.5 appears to be required, so may be worth mentioning somewhere since some installations will need to specify an alternate path for that.
Using your script, I was failing on “Attempting to install Windows feature: Web-Asp-Net” and it wasn’t until I manually added 3.5–specifying the alternate path to the Server installation media–that I could continue.
Appreciate you sharing your findings Matt.

Internalurl in the app proxy config should be https and not http.
Yes, you’re correct.

Does this work for Android for Work or Android Enterprise devices? I can’t find the certificate issued to the end mobile devices even – iOS?
Yes it works for all platforms you mention.

Hey Nickolay,
there are two mistakes in your two pictures showing the configuration of the AAP. In the internal URL field you have to write https instead of http, because of the later binding / requiring of SSL. Your other older posts showing this also with https configured.
Best regards and nice work!,

I’ve wasted way too much time troubleshooting this before I checked the IIS log files and they showed port 80. After changing AAD Proxy to HTTPS everything works.
Great guide though!
It appears that the script is expecting to find only 1 client authentication certificate with the specified subject. Could you modify it to handle cases where there are multiple certificates with the same subject?
Hello – Is there a mistake with the steps regarding the client and server certificates? At first you emphasized the points of each type which in turn have different Extended Key Usages. Are you stating to use the same template that contains both types?
Hi Carlos,
Could you please reference the pieces that you’re talking about?

Awesome step by step guide, many thanks. As per usual the MS TechNet lacks a lot of steps and inside information. Regarding the two certs, can they also be 3rd party and trusted certs (wildcard) ?
