## What you need to know

### When should express checkout be available?

Use it only when the shopper can review the correct order, delivery and total before paying. A wallet button should not conceal an important return condition or skip a required confirmation step.

### Where should the button appear?

It may appear near the cart or at checkout, depending on the provider's supported flow. Check whether adding multiple wallet buttons distracts from the main purchase action.

### Do phones need wallets first?

A wallet can reduce typing for customers who have it, but not everyone does. Show the relevant supported options and preserve a clear card or other standard payment path alongside them.

### A quick store check

Test express checkout with eligible and ineligible devices or accounts. Confirm the selected product and final costs appear for review before placing the order.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is express always faster?

Only when the customer has the required saved details and the flow works for that order. Test the complete payment and order confirmation, not just the initial button tap.

### Where do I enable express checkout?

Use verified wallet and payment guidance, then test eligibility, totals and order creation on supported devices.
