Electronic payment methods increase in popularity among consumers, businesses
MEDICINE HAT, AB — In an age where technology continues to play a key part in our everyday lives, it comes as no surprise that one of the latest trends involves using a phone in place of a wallet.
Electronic payment methods, such as eWallet, allow consumers to pay for online and in-person transactions simply by holding their phone over a keypad instead of dialing in a credit card PIN or shuffling through a wallet for cash.
In response to the growing popularity of these payment options, businesses have started to get onboard with the trend, implementing iPads and other portable devices into their day-to-day operations. One such business in Medicine Hat is Madhatter Coffee Roastery, where owner Katrina Marshall has fully embraced the convenient powers of technology.
