Pilot partners men’s apparel site JackThreads and photo-book provider Mosaic on the shopping application side, along with payment processors PayPal, Stripe, and Braintree, began testing Autofill with Facebook last September.

The feature causes users who have stored their billing information with the social network to be prompted to “Check out faster with Facebook” when they attempt to complete their transactions, and an “autofill your info” button allows them to examine their payment details on the social network, as well as to select their shipping addresses.
