American Express (NYSE:AXP) today announced the launch of Amex
Express Checkout, a first-ever, fast and secure way for U.S. Card
Members to check out quickly at participating online merchants by
using their americanexpress.com account login. With Amex
Express Checkout, Card Members simply use their existing
americanexpress.com User ID and Password, and American Express
auto-fills the checkout fields with their American
Express® Card details and relevant account information in just
a few clicks. Unlike other online payments tools currently in
the marketplace, Amex Express Checkout is not a wallet, and does
not require a Card Member to create or manage a new account.
Amex Express Checkout is available for Card Members to use
online today at BarkBox, Burberry, Ledbury, Newegg, Sabon,
Ticketmaster, Warby Parker and The Wall Street Journal. American
Express and Stripe are working together to allow merchants using
Stripe as a payments platform to easily enable Amex Express
Checkout for their customers. And, Amex Express Checkout is
expected to be available in the coming months on websites for Avis
Car Rental, Banana Republic, Cole Haan, Hulu, Gap, Intermix, Old
Navy, POPSUGAR Must Have, Rocketmiles, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM and
others.
With Amex Express Checkout, a Card Member’s account information
is transferred to the merchant through a token allowing for safer
transactions than traditional online checkout. And because
American Express auto-fills account information in real-time for
every online transaction via Amex Express Checkout, both Card
Members and merchants are assured that the Card number and billing
details provided are current – eliminating the need to manually
update those details, as may be required with an online wallet.
"We know our Card Members and merchants want a simple, fast
checkout process to make online shopping easy and delightful," said
Leslie Berland, executive vice president, Digital Partnerships
& Development at American Express. "Amex Express Checkout
leverages our unique technology to create a checkout experience
unlike any other, one that is valuable to merchants and secure for
Card Members, giving them peace of mind."
Card Members that use Amex Express Checkout get all the same
Card Member benefits, offers and service that come with their Card
Membership.
Here’s How to Fly Through Checkout
For Card Members, Amex Express Checkout is a new way to shop
online quickly and securely with the americanexpress.com
User ID and Password they already know and use to log in
to their account online to pay their bill or to the American
Express app.
To shop with Amex Express Checkout, Card Members just enter
their existing americanexpress.com account login and choose their
Card. American Express securely auto-fills the checkout fields.
Card Members can confirm or edit their information on the merchant
site before submitting an order.
Starting today, Card Members also will get a one-time $10
statement credit per merchant when they use Amex Express Checkout
online at BarkBox, Burberry, Ledbury, Newegg, Sabon, Ticketmaster,
Warby Parker and The Wall Street Journal through 9/7/15. Terms
apply.
Built for Merchants
For merchant partners, Amex Express Checkout is a powerful
commerce solution that can be easily integrated into any stage of
their existing customer payment processing journey; it functions on
desktop, mobile web or in native app. With Amex Express Checkout,
merchant partners get access to the Card account data they need to
enable Card Members to quickly and seamlessly check out on their
sites – along with embedded security features and customer
authentication performed by American Express.
American Express and Stripe are also teaming up to simplify the
Amex Express Checkout integration process. In the coming
weeks, Stripe, a leading payments platform, is expected
to offer a simple process for merchants to integrate Amex
Express Checkout in just a few steps.
