The four-step process for digital wallet transactions
Digital wallets allow users to instantly transfer funds through several linked routes – from QR codes, credit or debit cards, and tap-to-pay using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. The user will need to transfer the funds from an existing bank account, or credit/debit card information must be uploaded for transactions via eWallets.

-
Select digital wallet of choice from the the checkout page
-
The checkout page will redirect to the digital wallet’s payment page
-
Input one-time pin/pin/biometrics to confirm the payment
-
Instant payment notification received by the user and the merchant
