Should I offer express checkout options like Shop Pay?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm constantly looking for ways to streamline the purchasing process and reduce cart abandonment. I've heard about express checkout options like Shop Pay, but I'm unsure about their actual impact on conversion rates, implementation complexity, and whether they're worth the investment. I want to understand the pros and cons, potential lift in sales, and how these checkout options might improve my customers' shopping experience across different device types and customer segments.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes - always offer accelerated checkout options like Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. These reduce checkout time from 2-3 minutes to under 30 seconds and convert at 1.5-2x the rate of standard checkout. Place them prominently above the standard checkout form.

Express Checkout Options: Shop Pay and Beyond

Express checkout is the single highest-ROI checkout optimization available. It eliminates form friction entirely for returning customers - and mobile conversion jumps significantly.

Performance by Option

Option Avg CVR Lift Best For
Shop Pay+50-60% vs standardReturning Shopify customers - highest volume
Apple Pay+30-40% on iOSiPhone/iPad users (60%+ of mobile traffic)
Google Pay+20-30% on AndroidAndroid users, Gmail audience
PayPal+15-25%Higher AOV purchases, older demographics
Klarna/Afterpay+20-35% on BNPL segmentHigher-priced items, younger shoppers

Placement Priority

Show express options FIRST, before the standard checkout form:

  1. Cart page: Express checkout buttons above "Checkout" button
  2. Product page: Dynamic checkout buttons (Shop Pay/Apple Pay directly)
  3. Checkout page: Express options at top, "Or continue below" divider, then standard form

Shopify Implementation

Enable in: Shopify Admin > Settings > Payments > Accelerated checkouts. All major options are available. Shop Pay is enabled by default for Shopify Payments merchants. The dynamic checkout buttons appear automatically on product pages when enabled.

Express Checkout + Urgency

Growth Suite's time-limited offers work seamlessly with express checkout. A customer who clicks "Shop Pay" from an exit-intent offer goes directly to a pre-filled checkout - the discount is already applied and the timer is visible. Removing friction at this critical moment captures customers who would otherwise leave to "think about it."
