That's the magic question.

1) Carts are slow to evolve but they will.

2) Bolt/Fast contain user based information, consumed from their use on other sites. So there's a 'network effect'. If they've shopped at ABC.com before your store, then you already have their CC data ready to go in their car. Sort of like Single Sign On but for carts.

Uh oh. That has so much scam potential.


PayPal and (Amazon) have way more customers and their data ready to go.

I don’t think one click buy is that useful for smaller sites (something like Apple Pay is much more valuable as the customer doesn’t have to think about a bunch of details).


PayPal represents a specific kind of payment, moreover, they are a payment processor and that's not what Bolt is as far as I know.

It does help smaller sites.

'One Click Buy And Ship' makes a very material difference, particularly on mobile.
