What is Express Checkout?
Express Checkout is a mobile application designed to streamline the shopping experience by allowing users to scan items and complete payments directly from their smartphone. Available for both iOS and Android devices, the app integrates with retailers' checkout systems to enable shoppers to skip waiting in line at grocery stores, pharmacies, home stores, and other merchants.
The app supports scanning barcodes and manually entering lookup numbers for weighted items without barcodes. It incorporates security measures such as requiring a selfie for user verification and using Stripe for encrypted payment processing. Express Checkout is free for shoppers and aims to save time while reducing shoplifting risks through a bag check verification process.
