Introduction

PayPal Fastlane speeds up the checkout process by recognizing millions of guest shoppers and allowing them to autofill their checkout details. No store accounts or PayPal user accounts required.

PayPal's brand recognition helps give customers the confidence to buy. Your all-in-one checkout solution can offer PayPal, Venmo, Pay Later options, card processing, local payment types], and more — all through a single PayPal integration.

PayPal Fastlane is also compatible with auto orders (subscriptions) and upsell after just like existing credit cards.

Pre-requisites

In order to accept PayPal Fastlane on your checkout you will first need to have a US based PayPal business account. If you have not already connected your PayPal account navigate to Configuration → Checkout → Payments then click Connect within the PayPal section.

Second, make sure that your StoreFront theme is one of the following themes with the minimum version specified. If not please upgrade your theme.

Customized Checkouts

If you’ve customized your StoreFront checkout using the Visual Builder already, then upgrading your theme will not overwrite your customizations and bring in the new Visual Builder elements associated with Fastlane. The new elements are:

• checkout paypal fastlane watermark

• checkout condition (condition = PayPal Fastlane authenticated)

• checkout condition (condition = PayPal Fastlane address available)

• checkout condition (condition = PayPal Fastlane card available)

• checkout paypal fastlane credit card

• checkout paypal fastlane shipping address

• button (action = PayPal Fastlane Address Book)

The stock theme provides a great example on how these elements are used. If you need assistance modifying your customized theme, please contact professional services.

If you theme is updated for Fastlane, you’ll see this text next to the email address field.

Upon entry of the email address and then the tabbing through to the next checkout field, if the email is associated with a PayPal account, a pop-up dialog window will appear for the FastLane checkout. This dialog window will trigger sending the customer an SMS, and upon entering the code that is sent, the customer billing details will be populated.
