Hostinger Website Builder: Express Checkout

Learn more about how to enable Stripe express checkout to boost your store sales

Updated 2 weeks ago

Express checkout is a fast and convenient way for your customers to pay using methods they already trust — like Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Klarna, Link and Amazon Pay — directly on your product pages and shopping cart.

With Stripe express checkout in your store, shoppers can complete their purchase in just a few clicks — skipping steps like entering their shipping or billing details every time. This brings several benefits:

✅ Faster purchases = fewer drop-offs

✅ Trusted payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, more

✅ Mobile-optimized checkout, perfect for buyers on the go

✅ Higher conversion rates

✅ Professional & modern feel for your store

How to enable the Stripe express checkout

To enable Stripe express checkout, simply add Stripe as one of your payment gateways. Follow these instructions to set up Stripe for your store.

When you enable Express checkout, your domain is automatically submitted to Stripe — no manual steps in Stripe needed.

Once enabled, you can toggle Apple Pay on or off directly from your admin panel without leaving it or opening Stripe.

Note: Apple Pay requires a verified domain. If one isn’t connected, you’ll be guided to buy or connect a Hostinger domain before proceeding.
Already had Express checkout enabled before? You can submit your domain to Stripe with one click from the Stripe settings page.

Where Stripe express checkout is available

Stripe express checkout will be available in key areas designed to speed up the purchase experience:

  • Product pages
  • Cart (sidebar)
  • Checkout page

Express Checkout buttons (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and other wallet methods) appear automatically on all three locations once Stripe is connected and Express Checkout is enabled. No additional configuration is needed per location.
