PayPal Developer Day: Driving eCommerce Innovation

On August 22nd, PayPal hosted its Developer Day, an event dedicated to unveiling and discussing cutting-edge technologies in eCommerce. This year’s spotlight was on PayPal Fastlane, a revolutionary checkout solution designed to streamline the guest checkout process for large-item purchases. The event, aimed at empowering developers and enhancing user experiences across eCommerce platforms, attracted engineers and industry leaders from around the globe to explore, create, and compete.

Introducing PayPal Fastlane

PayPal Fastlane offers a guest checkout experience akin to Shop Pay, where customers can simply enter their email and receive a passcode to complete their details swiftly. This tool is especially useful for stores with high volumes of guest checkouts, such as those selling furniture or other large-ticket items. Fastlane users have shown a remarkable 80% conversion rate, and they complete their checkouts 32% faster on average. Learn more about this new technology the Fastlane web page.
