WavePay vs a card-only payment processor

A card-only processor cannot take a mobile-wallet payment, so buyers who hold EcoCash or OneMoney but not a card cannot pay; WavePay adds those local rails to Visa, Mastercard and PayPal behind the same checkout call.

Questions

Why add wallets if cards already work?

Because a buyer without a card cannot pay at all; each extra rail is a set of customers who could not otherwise complete the purchase.

Is a card-only processor ever the better choice?

Yes, when every buyer you serve holds a card and you need nothing else.
