In the Czech Republic, e-shop owners still tend to overlook them. However, Czech data speaks clearly – **payments via electronic wallets, especially Apple Pay and Google Pay, are on the rise.** Now is the right time to add them to your WooCommerce store and be prepared for the future. In today’s article, we’ll explain what electronic wallets are, what they can bring to your e-shop, and how to implement them. ## What are electronic wallets and why do users like them? Electronic wallets are **applications that allow users to make payments**, both online and in physical stores. Unlike card payments, wallet payments are anonymous, while also being fast and simple. [![Google Pay and Apple Pay methods in the WooCommerce checkout](https://www.toret.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Metody-Google-Pay-a-Apple-Pay-ve-WooCommerce-pokladne-1024x466.png "Google Pay and Apple Pay methods in the WooCommerce checkout")](https://www.toret.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06 / Metody-Google-Pay-a-Apple-Pay-ve-WooCommerce-pokladne.png) With Apple Pay or Google Pay, your customers can complete payment in just a few clicks. Users can fund their electronic wallet from their bank account or **store a payment card directly in the wallet** and link it to their account. This is the case with Google Pay and Apple Pay, which also allow users to pay in physical stores. Google Pay and Apple Pay, built into Android and i OS operating systems on smartphones, are the most widely used. Customers can **pay in your e-shop with a single click**, provided that your store accepts these payment methods. For customers, paying via electronic wallets in an e-shop is very fast and convenient because **there is no need to manually enter card details.** At the same time, payment security remains at a high level. ## Benefits of electronic wallets for your e-shop The popularity of electronic wallet payments, especially Google Pay and Apple Pay, is growing among customers. Although they are not yet the leading payment methods by total volume, unlike some other methods, they continue to gain strength. This trend is expected to continue, and payments via Google Pay and Apple Pay will play an increasingly important role in Czech e-commerce.
