Yep, Amazon. In all serious though a true one click checkout is patented by Amazon. :) We have gotten around that by minimizing the number of steps required to checkout. Things like this can be done to speed up the process combining the checkout confirmation with shipping and payment pages, using the purchase without account contribution.

So any site that has level-1 integration with payment gateways like google or paypal for example is going to have trouble huh? Perhaps they can also retroactively sue website owners because they had a button with their ancients html sites to receive payments. Even those donation buttons may fall into this category what you think?

 

 

^^ thanks! how do i edit where my checkout button links to?

Each payment module builds a set of options which are used by the final confirmation page to do the redirection to the gateway. There are contributions like pwa and fast easy checkout.

there are also other methods to store the customer preferences and get to the confirmation page directly from the cart. Or you can even skip that part to and go straight to the gateway. Or automate the shopping cart page with a timeout and process it like a zero-click checkout.

PayPal donation buttons don't qualify as a "true" one-click payment. But yes any site that has a real single click checkout will have problems. Simply search Google for:

 

amazon AND "one click checkout"

 

and you will see they like to sue violators - and they win :)

the suggestion for a 'one page checkout' is totally different from amazons one click checkout

 

The patent describes an online system allowing customers to enter their credit card number and address information just once so that on follow up visits to the website all it takes is a single mouse-click to make a purchase from their website.

 

above has been highly controversial, (cant find the current state of play re appeal and appeal, and whole patent issue was under review last year) but the company that amazon sued got round the patent by adding a 'click to confirm order' button

So now we started the exceptions. Why not reading the patent details first before turning a poster's request down.
