Apple Pay changes the mobile payment Perception

From a decade the trends of money have swapped. With the evolution of virtual money and plastic money, the usage of real money is lesser. There are numerous apps like Paytm, mpesa and many other developed by banks and financial institutes to help the users to pay their bills, fees, buy a ticket or do online shopping faster through the virtual money.

Virtual money payment is possible only through the integration of payment gateway in the app or web solution. The payment gateway is the simple platform to securely collect the payments from a user on behalf of the online stores. Initially, it was only implemented for e-commerce websites and applications, but now many solutions use this paradigm.

In 2015, Apple too came up with the launch of Apple Pay which shone the limelight on the concept of Digital wallet.
