Alternative Payment Wallets
Digital wallets are secure applications or services that enable users to store payment
details, such as debit or credit cards electronically.
For online transactions, the wallet securely passes a payment token to the merchant or
payment processor. This means that you do not handle sensitive customer data directly.
This reduces friction at checkout, improves conversion rates, and enhances security
through built‑in authentication and tokenization.
Wallets are best suited for one‑time online purchases and express checkout experiences.
Support for subscriptions and recurring payments varies by wallet, so you must ensure
compatibility if future charges or merchant‑initiated transactions are required.
