Shopify's accelerated checkout saving customer payment info for one-click purchases.
Why It Matters
Shop Pay reduces checkout friction to a single click for 100M+ customers who've saved their payment info. The 50% conversion lift over guest checkout is massive—if 30% of your customers use Shop Pay, that's effectively a 15% overall checkout conversion improvement. It's the highest-impact checkout optimization available.
Practical Example
Scenario
A home goods store sees 10,000 checkout initiations monthly with 45% completion rate. They enable Shop Pay and promote it.
Calculation
Shop Pay adoption reaches 35% of checkouts. Those checkouts convert at 67% (vs 40% for guest). Blended conversion: 50%.Result
Monthly completed checkouts increase from 4,500 to 5,000—500 additional orders worth $50K/month at $100 AOV. Annual impact: $600K.
