Case Study: Speedway Motors achieves a faster, streamlined checkout with PayPal (Braintree)

Speedway Motors kicks into high gear with a smooth and fast checkout process

Speedway Motors, America’s Oldest Speed Shop® (est. 1952), sells rodding and racing parts and needed a reliable partner after problems with prior vendors to support a full website and mobile overhaul. Their primary challenge was removing checkout roadblocks to give customers a fast, frictionless purchasing experience and improve conversion.

By integrating the PayPal Commerce Platform powered by Braintree across web, mobile, call center, and POS, Speedway created a unified payment flow that streamlined PayPal checkout to one or two clicks. The upgrade reduced checkout steps by 20%, improved load times by 40%, and removed friction that can cause cart abandonment—results based on the company’s internal 2020 data—while the team continues to roll out additional Braintree capabilities.
