Visa Checkout is a digital wallet designed to make online shopping easier. It is a service provided by Visa that allows users to store their credit card and debit card information in Visa Checkout, then access that information quickly when shopping on merchants websites or within retailers apps. Visa Checkout provides a single sign-in service to pay for online shopping purchases, and after a simple setup, users can skip entering their payment and shipping information for their orders. Visa Checkout works across multiple devices so online shopping stays easy, and it enables shoppers to choose their preferred payment method across multiple retailers with a click of a button or a tap in an app.
Visa Checkout uses multiple layers of security, including fraud monitoring systems and encrypted tokens using SHA256 hash algorithms, to help keep payment information safe. It accepts most major credit or debit cards so customers can checkout easily and securely using the payment method they use today on your site. Visa Checkout is not a mobile app, nor is it a payment option at the register in brick-and-mortar stores, like Apple Pay or Google Pay. You can use it on the websites or in the apps of merchants that accept Visa Checkout.
The benefits of using Visa Checkout include convenience and security. With this service, you can enter your credit card information once, and then use it every time you shop at online retailers that accept Visa cards. You can even enter multiple credit and debit cards, as long as they are part of the Visa payment network. As a result, you can save a significant amount of time completing many of your online transactions. Visa Checkout members can also receive special deals and other offers from online stores that accept it.
