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.
