About This Feature
As a Creator in a Thinkific Payment-supported country, TCommerce: Powered by Thinkific Payments offers your learners more payment options at checkout, providing them with the flexibility to pay in the way that's most convenient for them.
Digital wallets are electronic versions of traditional physical wallets. They allow learners to store and manage their payment information, such as credit and debit cards, in a secure digital format. When making a purchase, they can use their digital wallet to pay instead of using a physical card.
- Faster Payments
Allows your learners to complete transactions quickly without the need to enter payment information or navigate to a third-party payment gateway. - Customer Convenience
Offers a convenient payment option by allowing learners to store multiple payment methods in one place and make purchases with just a few clicks. - Mobile-friendly
Digital wallets are designed with mobile devices in mind, making them a popular payment option for those who prefer to shop on their smartphones or tablets.
How Digital Wallets Work
To use a digital wallet, learners will need to first set up an account with a provider. They will then add their payment information to the account, and link it to their device. When checking out, they can select to pay with a digital wallet, and can then select their preferred provider and complete the transaction.
You will be able to see which digital wallet a learner used to purchase your product through the Orders Table or Transactions Table. When a learner purchases using their digital wallet, you will receive the transaction amount in your bank account via Thinkific Payments, just like credit card transactions.

Processing Returns
To issue a refund for purchases made using digital wallets, you can use the Thinkific dashboard and follow the same process as you would for a standard credit card transaction processed by Thinkific Payments. There is no transaction fee to refund a purchase, but the transaction fees from the original purchase are not refunded.
If you need to refund a purchase made with CashApp, you can issue a full or partial refund for up to 7 years after the original purchase. CashApp will process the refunds asynchronously and refund the original payment method (either the customer’s Cash App balance or linked debit card) once you initiate the refund.
