Wallet FAQs General FAQs

What are 'Micropayments'?

Micropayment provides a suitable commerce infrastructure for low-volume payment transactions at the eBookstore. It provides a cost-effective platform for sub-denomination purchases, which can be as modest as a few pennies or less. It eliminates the need to transact with a payment gateway every time you make a purchase, resulting in substantial cost advantage and shorter lead time to order access and fulfilment.

Using micropayments, you can service your purchases from a pre-paid electronic wallet. Purchase debits will be activated on your wallet account, without reverting you to the Payment Gateway every time you make a purchase.

What are the advantages of using 'My Wallet'?

My Wallet offers a cost-effective, convenient payment alternative for online purchases. Credit cards are unprofitable for sub-denominational purchases, as low transaction fees attract high processing costs. The introduction of ‘My Wallet’ makes small-volume purchases an affordable alternative.

Thus, one of the compelling advantages of using ‘My Wallet’, is that you substantially scale down your transacting costs at the eBookstore, as you do not have to interact with the Payment Gateway, every time you make a purchase. Instead, a purchase debit is activated on your wallet account and you move unimpeded to your next activity at the bookstore. You save on time and effort expended in repetitive payment procedures. This in turn leads to faster order fulfilment and access.
