Introduction
Viva Wallet is a digital wallet that powers online payments for merchants in Greece, Malta, and Cyprus. This method lets your customers pay you online using their personal Viva Wallet account if they wish to do so.
Some of the main benefits of offering Viva Wallet as a payment method are:

- A better way to pay: Viva Wallet is a faster, secure way to pay on sites
