What is Fastlane by PayPal?
Fastlane by PayPal is our accelerated guest checkout solution for card payments.
It identifies shoppers with Fastlane profiles or PayPal accounts, enabling them to use saved checkout credentials without needing passwords. It auto-fills their details, leading to increased conversion and faster checkout times - sometimes as little as one click.
What are the key criteria for businesses?
Businesses with the below attributes will benefit most from Fastlane at this time:
- Uses Braintree Credit Card Processing or PPCP ACDC for card processing.
- Integrations: Direct, BigCommerce, Bold, Adobe/Magento, SFCC, WooCommerce.
- Offers card payments via store guest checkout flows.
- Best for sellers that have a high mix of new one-time purchase customers, where manual card entry fields are used more frequently.
Where is Fastlane available?
Fastlane by PayPal is available in the US only. It will be available in other markets in 2025.
What happens to a Fastlane profile if a consumer initiates a chargeback for fraudulent credit card use?
Card owners should file a chargeback with the card issuer if they notice fraudulent use. Once they do, Fastlane can use that information to help decline attempted transactions on lost or fraudulently marked cards.
When the Fastlane API checks a user's email address, does PayPal store that email address?
We do not store consumers' email addresses unless they provide consent and opt-in to create a Fastlane profile.
