Amex Express Checkout Provides an Effortless Way to Shop Online

— July 10, 2015 — Tech
Apple might be trying to revolutionize the checkout system in-stores, but the latest Amex Express Checkout program is set to make a difference with online purchases. American Express cardholders will "pay for goods and services on web, mobile and in apps with a single password that cardholders already have and use to access their Amex accounts — not unlike PayPal’s password-based checkout option," explains Tech Crunch.

Amex Express Checkout is set to partner with Stripe in order to make the transition to this program more effortless. For now, a small group of retailers including Burberry, the Gap, Hulu, Ticketmaster and Avis Car Rental are using Amex Express Checkout. Since it taps into something customers are already using, it's a system that is sure to find traction sooner than later.
Trend Themes
1. Password-based Checkout - Amex Express Checkout offers a convenient way for customers to make online purchases with a single password, similar to PayPal's checkout option.
2. Partnerships with Online Payment Providers - Amex Express Checkout's partnership with Stripe enables seamless integration with online retailers, enhancing the shopping experience.
3. Expansion of Retailers - As more retailers like Burberry, the Gap, Hulu, Ticketmaster, and Avis Car Rental adopt Amex Express Checkout, it presents an opportunity for widespread disruption in the online payment industry.
Industry Implications
1. Online Payment - The Amex Express Checkout program revolutionizes the way customers pay for goods and services online, potentially disrupting traditional online payment methods.
2. E-commerce - The partnership between Amex Express Checkout and Stripe provides an innovative payment solution for e-commerce platforms, improving the checkout process for online shoppers.
3. Retail - Amex Express Checkout offers an effortless and secure online payment solution for retailers, enhancing customer satisfaction and potentially driving sales.
