Application of digital wallets

Consumers are not required to fill out order forms on each site when they purchase an item because the information has already been stored and is automatically updated and entered into the order fields across merchant sites when using a digital wallet. Consumers are also in benefit when using digital wallets because their information is encrypted or protected by a private software code i.e. (OTP). Merchants are also in benefit and safe by receiving protection code against frauds.

Blueor digital wallets are available to consumers free of charge and easy to obtain. For example, when a consumer makes a purchase from a merchant site that’s set up to handle server-side digital wallets, he types his name and payment and shipping information into the merchant’s own form. At the end of the purchase, the consumer is asked to sign up for a wallet of his choice by entering a user name and password for future purchases. Users can also acquire wallets at a wallet vendor’s site.

Although a wallet is free for consumers yet vendors and merchants take charges to the customers in different ways. Some wallet vendors make arrangements for merchants to pay them a percentage of every successful purchase directed through their wallets. In other cases, digital wallet vendors process the transactions between cardholders and participating merchants and charge merchants a flat fee.
