Make shopping easier for consumers

Log In with PayPal helps eliminate the friction associated with sign in, registration and forgotten passwords. There's no need for millions of PayPal customers to remember multiple passwords and complete online account forms. And if they have an existing account with your business, they can simply link their account to Log In with PayPal. Users can spend more time shopping and less time filling out error-prone forms. Once the user agrees to share information with your site, you will always get the updated contact information necessary for servicing orders. Great shopping experiences create loyal customers who will visit your site again and again,

Encourage more account registrations and checkout conversions

One of the big reasons for drop offs in the checkout process is due to friction associated with sign up. When users visit a site once or twice a year, it is difficult for them to remember the passwords. Merchants see the value in asking users to register so that they can maintain contact with them, get them to sign up for newsletter and drive loyalty but at the same time they have more drop offs and loose on revenue if they make registration mandatory and finally they end up making it optional. They are able to get the higher conversion in the short term but low repeat business which hurts them in the long run. By allowing users to log in with PayPal, you can get more users to sign up and have more loyal customers.

Whether you are just starting up with your online store or have an established online presence, visitors will associate more trust when they see Log In with PayPal present on your site.
