The XMG Payment Portal works as a conduit between traditional payment methods and digital payment methods. It works as a tool where a merchant can connect a traditional payment method along side a digital payment method, in this case having their Pecu Wallet connected to the payment portal on one end and traditional methods such as a credit card processor on the other end.
The XMG Payment Portal does not process the transactions, it is a tool that allows the transactions to occur securely and seamlessly on-chain.
For instance let’s say that Sally wanted to acquire XMG tokens to swap for another digital asset on a decentralized exchange or for another purpose. Then Sally would need a merchant who offers XMG tokens utilizing the payment portal.
So Sally goes to that merchant’s payment portal, connects her Pecu wallet and then uses whatever traditional means that the merchant allows to acquire the XMG tokens. The payment in a lightning method moves XMG tokens from the Merchant to Sally;s Pecu wallet in a seamless way. Now Sally can use her XMG tokens where available to be used.
Now the XMG Payment Portal can also be used as a pure digital asset payment portal solely for XMG tokens, it is up to the merchant what use it for, it could be both.
