FAQs
Click-to-pay and express checkout are both designed to streamline the online shopping experience, but they differ in functionality and scope.
Click-to-pay is a payment method that simplifies the process by allowing consumers to complete purchases with just a single click. This solution often involves integrating a third-party service, such as a digital wallet (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay) or a card network's own offering (e.g., Visa Click to Pay), where payment details are securely stored and automatically filled in during checkout. The core advantage is convenience—users don't need to manually enter card information or billing addresses, making the transaction quicker and more seamless. It’s especially useful for repeat buyers who want to minimize friction.
Express checkout, on the other hand, is a broader solution that speeds up the entire checkout process. While it can include features like click-to-pay for quick payment, it typically involves a customized, branded checkout experience for users. Express checkout often retains other user data (like shipping addresses and preferences), allowing for one-click purchasing across multiple sessions or websites. It can also integrate features like loyalty programs, personalized recommendations, and multi-channel options, providing a more holistic solution for a brand's ecosystem.
In short, click-to-pay is a component of express checkout, but express checkout encompasses a full suite of tools to create an optimized, personalized shopping experience.
This depends on your reactivity and the solutions you want to distribute. If you use APIs, the go-to-market is about 8 months with Octopay.
It's not too late for a large corporation to launch its own express checkout solution and regain a competitive edge in the e-commerce market. In fact, the growing demand for streamlined, frictionless shopping experiences presents a prime opportunity for established brands to leverage their existing infrastructure and customer trust. By introducing a proprietary express checkout system, a corporation can enhance user convenience, reduce cart abandonment rates, and drive customer loyalty.
Additionally, integrating in-house services like payment processing and parcel shipment solutions provides a unique advantage. Not only does it offer end-to-end control over the customer experience, but it also creates new revenue streams and strengthens the brand's ecosystem. With the right investment in technology and strategic partnerships, a large corporation can capitalize on the rising trend of personalized and fast e-commerce transactions, positioning itself as a market leader in this space, even in a highly competitive environment.
The payment experience is customized by Octopay according to the use cases your group wishes to deploy, from simple payment by credit card to payment in instalments or on receipt of parcel.
