Meta Description: Learn everything about eWallets – how they work, their security features, advantages, limitations, and how GSP Technologies offers custom payment gateway integrations.
An eWallet, or electronic wallet, is a digital version of a physical wallet, enabling users to store and manage their financial information online. It's become an indispensable tool in e-commerce, streamlining online transactions and offering a convenient alternative to traditional payment methods like credit cards and bank transfers. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of eWallets, exploring their functionality, security, and benefits for both businesses and consumers.
For customers , using an eWallet involves creating an account, linking a bank account or credit card, and adding funds. Then, during online checkout, the customer selects their eWallet as the payment method and authorizes the transaction using a password, PIN, or biometric authentication.
For merchants , eWallet integration involves setting up a merchant account with the eWallet provider and integrating their payment gateway into their website or app. When a customer uses an eWallet to pay, the funds are transferred directly from the customer's eWallet to the merchant's account, typically after a verification process.
