Digital Wallet: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay – Overview
Customers have access to use the main mobile wallet options: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. This feature allows a customer to add their debit card to their phone’s mobile wallet. The customer will be able to use their phone to pay anywhere that “Tap to Pay” is active.
In addition to the convenience of this feature, it also provides greater security for the customer. Instead of using your actual debit card number, a random set of numbers is generated for your transactions, keeping your information completely secure as it transfers from your phone to the point of sale system.
Each of the digital wallet services have slightly different methods of enabling this feature.
