Shop Pay accelerated checkout for fast, secure payments
Shop Pay is an accelerated checkout option designed to enhance the shopping experience for customers on your Shopify store and on Shop. It allows customers to save their email address, payment method, and shipping and billing information, making the checkout process faster and more convenient. By activating Shop Pay, you can provide a seamless and efficient checkout experience for your customers, especially those who have already opted in to Shop Pay on any Shopify store. Shop Pay is included as part of Shopify Payments, and transactions are processed at your Shopify Payments rates.
A customer needs to enter an email address at checkout in order to save their payment information. Customers who only enter a phone number in the contact field aren't prompted to save their information. Learn more about accelerated checkouts.

- Time-saving checkout: Shop Pay saves your customers' email address, payment method, and shipping and billing information, eliminating the need for them to enter these details every time they make a purchase.
