Advantages
The e-wallet makes online shopping easier because it fills in
the fields in an online order form automatically, saving you the
trouble of doing it yourself.
This is also a great advantage for online merchants, because
customers sometimes abandon online purchases if they feel
that the order form is too confusing or frustrating.
The e-wallet can overcome this phenomenon by automating
the completion process.
7. Advantages and Disadvantages
Disadvantages
If you try to use the e-wallet with an online order form whose
blank fields are in a different order from those in your e-
wallet, or if the form has fields that the e-wallet does not
recognize, the form may be left incomplete or be completed
incorrectly.
This would force you to erase all the fields and enter your
personal information manually, defeating the purpose of the e-
wallet.
