How one-click guest checkout can help improve conversion

Customers expect fast, flexible, and convenient checkout experiences, and meeting these expectations can help improve conversion rates.

With 43% of surveyed customers preferring guest checkout when buying online,1 these expectations apply to guest checkout as well. Learn how PayPal can help.

The need for speed

Shoppers don’t want another account to manage, and if forced to create one, they may abandon their purchase. A 2022 survey found that:2

  • 82% of customers surveyed have decided against an online purchase because the account registration process took too long
  • 74% of those who prefer guest checkout do so because it’s faster than creating a new account
