Buyer Support
Seller Support
The best checkout is one your customers barely notice. When buying feels instant, people come back more often, spend more freely, and stay loyal longer. That’s the future 1ClickPay was built for, and today we’re bringing to even more of your customers.
We’re excited to announce that 1ClickPay now supports PayPal.
What is FastSpring’s 1ClickPay?
1ClickPay lets returning customers buy in a single click. When a buyer completes their first purchase, they can securely save their payment details with FastSpring. The next time they come back and we serve up their saved payment method instantly, with no re-entering payment details like card numbers or paypal login, no long-forms, and no interruptions and no redirection. FastSpring tokenizes and stores the payment method securely, so the buyer sees only what they need to (like the last for digits of their card) and you get a faster conversion path.
It’s ideal for the kinds of purchases that should feel effortless: premium add-ons, upgrading to the newer version of the product, in-game currency and items, consumption-based products, and repeat subscriptions. The less your returning buyers have to spend time on checkout, the more likely they are to complete the order.
What’s New? Introducing 1ClickPay for PayPal
Now, buyers can save and reuse PayPal for 1Click purchases.
As one of the most trusted and widely used ways to pay online, PayPal is used widely by users in countries all around the world across all industries. By extending 1ClickPay to PayPal, we ‘’’re meeting more of your customers with the payment method they already prefer and removing friction for a whole new segment of repeat buyers.
Real results: Nexus.gg Sees Near-Perfect Checkout Completion Rates
In one short month of initial testing, we’ve seen huge impacts for FastSpring users who have enabled 1ClickPay for PayPal in their live checkouts. Nexus.gg, a leading Support-a-Creator platform that helps publishers turn creators into a powerful commerce channel, is one of them.
Fast, frictionless checkout is core to how Nexus’s model works. When a buyer follows a creator’s link or uses their creator code to make an in-game or web store purchase, every second and each step is a chance for players to drop off and to lose the sale. Removing even a single step can lead to instant returns and uplift in conversion rates.
Here’s what Jack Inscoe, COO of Nexus.gg had to say about 1ClickPay for PayPal:
“Since implementing FastSpring’s 1ClickPay for PayPal, we’ve seen our checkout completion rates soar to nearly 100%. It has significantly reduced the time it takes for buyers to complete an order, eliminating friction for our repeat buyers and driving a massive uplift in overall conversion.”
Why it Works
Every payment method you remove from the checkout path is one fewer reason for a buyer to abandon their cart. Adding PayPal to 1ClickPay means:
- Higher completion rates, since returning buyers finish in a click whether they saved a card or PayPal.
- Faster repeat purchases, perfect for microtransactions, add-ons, and impulse buyers where speed is everything.
- Broader reach, capturing the large audience of buyers who prefer PayPal, especially across gaming and global markets.
- The same security you already trust. FastSpring tokenizes and stores payment details securely and never shares them with third parties.
