Easily accept online payments via all three major digital wallet providers with the Stitch payment gateway through a single, pre-bundled SDK.
Digital wallets, like Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Wallet, are rapidly gaining popularity in South Africa and globally as a preferred payment method for their speed and convenience. Once set up, customers can quickly and securely make online payments via their chosen mobile wallet without the need to enter card or banking details. They can even store account information such as their address for even faster future checkouts.
Digital wallets store customer card information for future reference, removing the need to re-enter details or authorise payments every time. The customer simply confirms the wallet payment using biometrics or password. Customers can also save multiple cards, as well as other payment methods like gift cards or loyalty programs, in their mobile wallets, offering greater flexibility in how they pay and how merchants get paid.
What are digital wallets?
Digital wallets, including Apple Pay, Samsung Wallet and Google Pay, allow customers to store their card details on their smartphone and make fast, seamless payments online in just one click.
How do digital wallet payments work?
Digital wallet transactions are card transactions at a processing level, with a product layered on top (Apple Pay, Samsung Wallet, Google Pay) that stores a customer’s card details and exposes them to make a transaction.
What are the benefits of paying with digital wallets?
Digital wallet payments are faster and easier than card payments. Once registered using Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Wallet, the customer doesn’t need to enter banking details to make an online card payment. They can simply select their digital wallet and make a wallet payment in one click.
How easy is it to start accepting digital wallet payments?
Stitch clients can integrate digital wallets and start accepting digital wallet payments easily by leveraging the Stitch SDK bundle. Digital wallets can easily be added alongside other payment methods in one Stitch integration, once the client has integrated Stitch card.
