For the networks, having one standard processing hub online is similar to what already exists in-store, where multiple cards can be accepted on one physical point-of-sale.
"Merchants want to keep it simple," said Amex's Robinson. "They don't want to have their webpage cluttered with lots of different solutions.

"We are not tied to a specific ecosystem, to a specific operating system, or to a specific browser. This is designed to work in-app and on any type of browser," said Lambert.With many large online retailers, like Amazon and Walmart, shoppers can create accounts and store their payment and shipping information, leading to a seamless checkout.
And the credit card giants aren't the only ones eyeing a more universal, password-less checkout option. Fast, the startup backed by Stripe, Index Ventures, and Kleiner Perkins, is also building a one-click checkout product.
