[American Express](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charitable-loyalty-program) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebate-program) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **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. - **Partnerships with Online Payment Providers:** Amex Express Checkout's partnership with Stripe enables seamless integration with online retailers, enhancing the shopping experience. - **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. ### Who This Affects Most - **Online Payment:** The Amex Express Checkout program revolutionizes the way customers pay for goods and services online, potentially disrupting traditional online payment methods. - **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. - **Retail:** Amex Express Checkout offers an effortless and secure online payment solution for retailers, enhancing customer satisfaction and potentially driving sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Secure Streamlined Checkouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aasaan-checkout.md) - [Modernized Digital Checkout Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-checkout.md) - [Charitable Loyalty Program Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charitable-loyalty-program.md) - [Flexible Mobile Bank Payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallet-express.md) - [Airport Experience Rewards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-express-canada-and-toronto-pearson.md) - [Cashflow Maintenance Credit Payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-express-flexible-payment-option.md) - [Tap-to-Pay Smartphone Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-tap-to-pay.md) - [Travel Experience-Focused Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-express-canada.md) - [Comprehensive Checkout Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trevipay.md)
