Card schemes in online one-click payments tie up

American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa are rolling out interoperable one-click checkouts at select e-commerce sites in the US.

Based on the new EMV Secure Remote Commerce (SRC) industry standard, the technology has been tested in market with issuers and merchants. 

The initial focus will be on converting existing Masterpass and Visa Checkout merchants to click to pay, with payment processors and payment platforms, such as Adyen, Authorize.Net and CyberSource - Visa solutions, FIS, Global Payments, Mastercard Payment Gateway Services and Stripe all onboard.

Cinemark, Movember and Rakuten are the first merchants to adopt this on their websites, with BassPro, JoAnn Fabric and Crafts, Papa John’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, SHOP.com and Tickets.com due to follow by the end of 2019.

“We are always looking for ways to enhance the cinema experience, and providing a simpler, streamlined checkout for ticket-buying is a major part of that,” says Doug Fay, Chief Technology Officer at Cinemark.

“We think the added convenience and security will help build loyalty, grow our business and make for quicker checkouts, giving moviegoers the most enjoyable experience possible.”
