# Express Checkout

**Clearpay Express Checkout** reduces the overall checkout steps on desktop and mobile devices so that customers can complete transactions more quickly.

Customers use their previously saved Clearpay information to checkout direct from the shopping cart or product page.

**In short; fewer checkout steps, higher conversion.**

In this section of the guide:

* [Integrated vs Deferred Shipping](/ec-int-vs-deferred-ship)

* [Setup](/ec-setup)

* [Integrated Shipping](/ec-int-shipping)

* [Optional Integrated Shipping Features](/ec-optional-integrated-shipping)

* [Deferred Shipping](/ec-deferred-shipping)

* [Checkout Widget](/ec-checkout-widget)

* [Express Checkout Reference Information](/ec-reference-info)

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

### How does Express Checkout differ from a normal checkout?

The diagram below shows the existing Clearpay **checkout flow**:

The steps are *Product* > *Cart* > *Delivery choice* > *Payment* > *Review* and *Confirmation*. The customer proceeds through the checkout process as normal and selects Clearpay as a payment option in your payments section.

Here is the new **Clearpay Express checkout flow**:

The customer can buy a single item from the *Product* level and choose to *Buy now with Clearpay*, or shop for multiple items and proceed to the cart where they can choose to *Checkout with Clearpay*.

At this point there are two modes possible with Express Checkout:

* Deferred shipping - Customers go back to your website and choose the shipping options you offer
* Integrated shipping - Clearpay displays your shipping options to customers in real time, within the Clearpay checkout
