# Express Checkout Overview

Express Checkout reduces the overall checkout steps on desktop and mobile so that shoppers can complete transactions more quickly. Customers checkout directly from the shopping bag or product page using their previously saved Afterpay information.

Express Checkout is also available for Clearpay (UK). The information on this page also applies to Clearpay.

## Fewer Steps, Higher Conversion

Express Checkout eliminates 5 steps and over 40 fields of customer-provided information

## Standard Afterpay Checkout Flow

The customer proceeds through the checkout process on your site as normal, selecting Afterpay as a payment option and confirming the transaction before order placement.

## Express Checkout Flows (Cart and/or Product Pages)

**Integrated Shipping**: Delivery options are displayed to customers in real-time, with the ability to select delivery options and confirm the order within Afterpay.

**Deferred Shipping**: The customer returns to the retailer site to finalize delivery options and complete the order.
