Developer Day for Fastlane by PayPal: A Masterclass of Innovation

Get ready for an exclusive, transformative experience at PayPal's Developer Day in San Jose on August 20th 2024. Earlier this year, PayPal introduced Fastlane by PayPal, our new accelerated guest checkout experience. You will have the opportunity to delve into the latest innovations, and technical details that make Fastlane compelling in the world of online shopping. Join us to discover how PayPal is paving the way for a seamless, efficient, and secure guest checkout process that will enhance the shopping experience for both businesses and consumers. 

What is Fastlane by PayPal?

Fastlane is a revolutionary checkout solution that significantly streamlines the guest checkout experience by making it faster, easier, and more secure. This innovative solution, developed by PayPal, allows customers to save their payment and shipping information during their initial checkout with any participating business.   Once a customer saves their details, Fastlane by PayPal will automatically prefill this information for future purchases wherever it is supported. This means customers can complete transactions with just a few clicks, without the hassle of repeatedly entering your payment and shipping details. By streamlining the checkout process, Fastlane not only saves time but also reduces the potential for errors and enhances the overall convenience of online shopping.
