Digital wallets are very effective in increasing sales. Checking out via Apple Pay/Amazon Pay/PayPal reduces the time spent on checkout because it eliminates the need to fill out the form.

A user clicks on their preferred express checkout button and logs in to pay.

No need to enter the address, email, phone number, etc. (everything gets auto-filled).

Here’s how it appears on the checkout page:

You can activate Stripe’s Apple Pay/Google Pay/Amazon Pay/PayPal in your WooCommerce store to enable the express checkout buttons on checkout.

After making the payment through one of these express checkout options, the customer gets automatically redirected to the WooCommerce thank you page.

• Stripe Payment Gateway for WooCommerce by FunnelKit
