The express checkout process minimizes friction by eliminating the need for shoppers to manually enter shipping and payment details, especially for returning Sezzle shoppers with saved information. The prefilled data, enabled by the merchant’s API integration, creates a seamless experience that reduces abandoned carts and boosts sales.

### Compare to Standard Checkout Flow

Without the Sezzle checkout button or prefilled information, the checkout process involves multiple steps, which can lead to cart abandonment due to complexity:

1. Add Items to Cart and Proceed to Checkout
   * Shoppers select their desired products and initiate the checkout process on the merchant’s website
2. Enter Contact Information
   * Shoppers manually input their name, email, and phone number
3. Enter Shipping Details
   * Shoppers manually input their address
4. Select Shipping Method
   * Shoppers manually select their shipping method
5. Select Sezzle as Payment Method
   * Shoppers choose Sezzle from the available payment options and are redirected to Sezzle’s checkout page
6. Sign In and Complete Purchase
   * On Sezzle’s site, shoppers sign in or create an account, confirm their payment plan (e.g., 25% upfront, three installments), and finalize the order

This multi-step process can deter shoppers, especially those who find entering information tedious or who abandon their carts due to lengthy forms.
