Fastlane

Overviewanchor

Fastlane is PayPal's autofill checkout solution targeted at users not logged into a store account and are manually entering card information. It will securely save and retrieve payment information and customer addresses for Fastlane customers so that they can checkout faster. For any merchant integrated with Fastlane, if the customer has an existing Fastlane profile with PayPal, their payment information and billing address will be auto-filled regardless of whether they created the profile on a different merchant's checkout page.
