Skipify’s Modern Checkout Stack provides merchants with the tools needed to offer instant checkout across their website, marketing channels and apps. Instant checkout experiences continue to gain adoption with shoppers and brands alike, nearly doubling conversion rates on mobile devices.

“The shift in consumer behavior from laptops to mobile devices has triggered the shift from typing into tapping,” said Ryth Martin, Founder and CEO of Skipify. “However, the standard checkout process online still remains dependent on nearly 2 minutes of typing from shoppers. Skipify fixes that.”

With the benefit of Skipify’s investors and strategic partners, Skipify is poised to unlock Frictionless Commerce for hundreds of millions of shoppers and tens of millions of merchants in the years to come.
