one-click

Immediate purchase button

One-click describes a process completed with a single mouse click or tap, eliminating multiple steps.

The term became prominent with online shopping, where one-click purchasing lets customers buy instantly using stored payment and shipping information: I accidentally one-clicked three books at 2 a.m.

The concept extends to any streamlined digital action: one-click install, one-click unsubscribe.
