Before the payment process, you need to link your credit or debit card information to your preferred mobile wallet application. When you&#8217;re to  check out and want to make a payment, you can use your device at the checkout line. If you&#8217;re in a merchant store like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/cp\/walmart-pay\/3205993?irgwc=1&amp;sourceid=imp_WlZ1xpQDpxyLWLMwUx0Mo3EJUkBwQ01q1VUNwE0&amp;veh=aff&amp;wmlspartner=imp_27795&amp;clickid=WlZ1xpQDpxyLWLMwUx0Mo3EJUkBwQ01q1VUNwE0&amp;sharedid=4615006&amp;affiliates_ad_id=612734&amp;campaign_id=9383\">Walmart<\/a> you can easily pay by placing your device near the terminal and scan a bar code to make the purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the merchant doesn&#8217;t have its application, you can use other digital mobile money wallets to pay for your bills at the store. You can use mobile wallet apps to pay for services and goods. When using these mobile wallet apps you also get cashback and return, and earn points if you shop more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-it-works-best\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-it-works-best\"><\/span>Where it works best<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The mobile wallet works best at online and offline stores that accept mobile payments.
