PhonePe Launches Bolt for Faster Card Payments
PhonePe, a popular payment app in India, has launched a new feature called 'PhonePe PG Bolt'.
This feature allows users to save their Visa and Mastercard details securely on the PhonePe app.
Once saved, users can make payments with a single click on any merchant app that uses PhonePe's payment system.
This makes shopping online faster and easier.
The feature uses a technology called device tokenisation, which replaces sensitive card details with secure tokens.
This means users don't have to enter their CVV code every time they make a payment.
PhonePe says this will make payments more secure and reduce the number of steps needed to complete a transaction.
Merchants who use PhonePe's system will also benefit from higher success rates and fewer dropped transactions.
PhonePe Payment Gateway launched 'PhonePe PG Bolt' for faster Visa and Mastercard card payments.
The feature uses device tokenisation to provide a secure and efficient in-app checkout experience.
Users can tokenise their cards once on the PhonePe app and use them across any merchant integrated with PhonePe PG.
The system replaces sensitive card details with secure tokens, eliminating the need for CVV entry during subsequent transactions.
Merchants can achieve higher transaction success rates and faster checkout speeds using PhonePe's native SDK.
