The new Safari browser feature in iOS 8 solves the problem of surfing number of pages while shopping online and manually entering credit and debit cards details by integrating camera-based Credit and Debit card reader.

This means  when a user has to shop online using their iPhone or iPad and reach the payment screen for payment, safari browser will automatically display this “Scan Credit Card” option.
