one-click buy

Immediate checkout option

One-click buy is a purchasing method that lets customers complete a transaction with a single action, bypassing the usual checkout process.

The feature stores payment and shipping information so repeat purchases require no additional input: I accidentally one-click bought three copies.

Amazon patented the technology in 1999, making the term nearly synonymous with their system.
