I guess I'm in the minority. For me, having a paypal link can be the deciding factor for if I buy something or not.
For paypal, it's a username and password that I can recall from memory.
For a CC, it's getting my wallet out, taking out my card, typing in the number (which I don't have memorized), the expiry date, the CCV and my full name.
It's an extra pain.
In my opinion, amazon/prime 1-click checkout is the best, followed by paypal, followed by CC#, followed by typing in a checking account and routing number.
- bdclimber14 16y agoThis assumes that the consumer has PayPal setup with funds, or the appropriate backup funding method. A bigger pain is registering for PayPal and adding a backup funding method (takes days). I'd also like to reap the benefits of Credit Card rewards. In theory, PayPal makes life easier, but I think the common case actually can be a bigger pain.
- dpcan 16y agoI think paypal can give you the best of both worlds. Login and use funds like I always do, or you can just enter a card and info like a typical credit card form.
- bdclimber14 16y agoDefinitely, I think it's always best to offer consumers both options. The problem with PayPal Express is that it obfuscates the credit card option by making it a small link below a PayPal sign up form that says "or another payment option" or something equally confusing.
