In case you dont know what Digital walets are;

Digital wallets are virtual wallets that allow individuals to store and manage their digital assets, such as credit card information, bank account details, loyalty program cards, and other payment methods. They provide a convenient and secure way to make online transactions without the need to share sensitive information with third-party merchants.

Digital wallets typically come in the form of mobile apps that can be installed on smartphones or other mobile devices. Once a user has created an account with a digital wallet provider, they can add their payment information to the app and use it to make purchases at participating merchants.

One of the key benefits of digital wallets is their ability to streamline the checkout process, as users can simply enter their digital wallet login information instead of manually entering their payment details each time they make a purchase. Digital wallets also typically provide additional security features such as two-factor authentication and encryption to protect user data.

Some popular examples of digital wallets include Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal, and Venmo.
