Express checkout: 3 ways to pay in one click
Learn the difference between an express checkout, one-click payment, and an express payment method and what they can bring to your business.
A fast and frictionless checkout process can dramatically increase your conversion rates. That’s why businesses are constantly looking for new ways to improve the checkout experience.
What is express checkout?
The latest fast-growing approach goes by various names like express checkout, express payment methods, one-click checkout, Click to Pay, instant payments, one-click payments, Checkout as a Service, and maybe a few more we don’t even know about. As a category, they can be referred to as "express flows".
The aim of express flows is simple: let customers check out and pay with the least amount of clicks.
They've transformed the online buying process. What once required customers to manually fill in many form fields can now be achieved in a few clicks. Express flows make this possible by storing payment details and sometimes shipping and billing information.
