Click to Pay aims to make the online checkout simple and secure
for consumers across web and mobile sites, mobile apps and
connected devices by replacing time-consuming key entry of personal
account numbers and information at checkout. The advanced digital
checkout solution mirrors the consistent, interoperable checkout
experience in physical stores – with one terminal to accept all
card payments. Consistent with the goal of interoperability, the
vision for the future is that Click to Pay will provide consumers a
streamlined experience across any digital checkout environment or
network.
American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa announced the
universal digital checkout solution in the United States in October
2019. Since then, more than 10,000 merchants have been enabling
their customers with the option to click to pay including Cinemark,
Crate & Barrel, Expedia, Fresh Direct, Jo-Ann Fabric and
Crafts, Joseph A. Bank, the marketplace division of Rakuten U.S.,
Saks Fifth Avenue and SHOP.com, among others. Additional notable
merchants around the world that are committed to supporting Click
to Pay include Emirates, Mitre 10 (New Zealand) Ltd., Noel Leeming,
1-day, Pizza Hut Australia, The Warehouse, Torpedo7, Ticketek and
Warehouse Stationery. For merchants, this checkout solution can
help reduce friction during the process of purchasing goods and
services, making donations or when manual card entry has
historically been needed for online checkout. Merchants can now get
access to a single virtual terminal for multiple card brands,
meaning a simpler and smoother overall digital checkout experience
for consumers.
“Right now, more than ever, demand for fresh food and grocery
delivery is at an all-time high, with many new customers trying
FreshDirect for the first time,” said Tammy Berentson, chief
marketing officer, FreshDirect. “For these new customers, as well
as for our loyal following, Click to Pay offers confidence that
their transactions will be simple, efficient and secure.”
To grow acceptance beyond existing merchants, each network is
beginning work with its payments service providers, gateways and
acquirers across the ecosystem to prepare for a streamlined online
checkout that supports all participating networks. In the U.S.,
partners including ACI Worldwide, Aurus, Blackbaud, BlueSnap,
Braintree (a PayPal Service), Cybersource, Global Payments,
Mastercard Payment Gateway Services and Square are providing their
merchants with the option to enable Click to Pay. Additional
support for the expansion of Click to Pay comes from international
partners including Checkout.com, Noon Payments, SafeCharge and
Windcave, amongst others, as the networks roll it out in new
geographies.
