Wallets
Learn about wallet payments with Stripe.
Customers can use wallets to pay online with a saved card or a digital wallet balance. Retailers often use wallets to:
- Reduce fraud and increase conversion on mobile.
- Reach buyers in China, where wallets are the most popular way to pay.
Wallets might not be a good fit for your business if you sell subscriptions. Some wallets don’t support recurring payments.
Payment flow 
Customers confirm the transaction by authenticating their wallet credentials at checkout. If using mobile, they can authenticate with fingerprint or face recognition, their mobile passcode, or by logging into their wallet app. On the web, they can also scan a QR code with their mobile phone to complete the transaction.
