Card Transaction Flow
The card transaction flow enables customers to make secure payments using their credit or debit cards, providing a convenient and widely accepted method for transactions. The two different types of card transaction flow are:
New Card Transaction Flow
: This flow allows customers to enter their card details during checkout for processing a payment. It is suitable for first-time users or customers who prefer to provide card information manually.
Saved Card Transaction Flow
: With this flow, customers can conveniently complete transactions using their previously saved card details. It offers a streamlined checkout experience for returning customers, eliminating the need to re-enter card information.
Both flows prioritize security and aim to provide a seamless payment experience for customers using card-based payments.
