Digital wallets are transforming online shopping and we must be ready
In the ever-evolving world of e-commerce, the need for speed, convenience, and security in transactions is more significant than ever. This is where digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay come into play, offering these solutions and making online shopping more straightforward and accessible for consumers.
According to existing estimates, the use of digital wallets in e-commerce has seen significant growth in recent years. Globally, it is estimated that in 2024, over 50% of online purchases will be made through digital wallets, according to a Juniper Research report This percentage includes purchases with local digital wallets in East Asia. Still, the reality is that in Europe, we see a rapid rise in the use of platforms such as Google Pay and Apple Pay for completing online purchases.
Digital wallets allow users to securely store their credit,debit or prepaid card information in an app on their mobile phone. This means that users can make purchases with just a tap,without the need to enter their card information each time.
The advantages of digital wallets are numerous. First and foremost, they offer speed and simplicity. Purchases are made in just a few steps, providing a quick and seamless user experience. The checkout process becomes extremely easy and fast, reducing the time required to complete a purchase.
Additionally, the level of security is significantly higher. By using technologies such as encryption and biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition), digital wallets offer increased protection for transactions. Users can feel safe knowing that their personal data is protected from malicious attacks.
And, of course, there is greater convenience. The ability to store multiple cards and payment methods in a single app makes it easier for users to choose their preferred method for each purchase. Additionally, users can easily manage their financial obligations and track their expenses.
