Internet and E-commerce (40 marks) The electronic payment (e-payment) system has grown increasingly over the last decades due to the growing spread of Internet-based banking and shopping. As the world advances more in technology development, we can see the rise of e-payment systems and payment processing devices. At present, restaurants and shops that accept credit cards and other forms of mobile payment have to install different devices to process each type of transaction.
