145 <p lang="en">Customers interact with the Taler system mostly using
146 a free wallet implementation, which may be an extension or plugin
147 to their browser or a custom application on their computer(s).
148 Typical steps performed by customers are:

156 <li lang="en">The customer selects a mint (i.e. by visiting the
157 respective website or selecting from a list of mints in the
158 application) and asks the wallet to create bank transfer
159 instructions to withdraw a certain amount of electronic cash.
160 The bank transfer instructions will contain an
161 access code that must be included in the subject of the
162 transaction, as well as the wire details for the mint (i.e.
163 a SEPA account number).</li>

173 <li lang="en">Once the funds have arrived, the wallet will
174 automatically withdraw the electronic coins. The
175 customer can use the wallet to review his remaining balance
176 at any time. He can also make backups to secure his digital
177 coins against hardware failures.</li>

181 <li lang="en">When visiting a merchant that supports Taler,
182 a new payment option is available in the checkout system.
183 If the customer selects payments via Taler, the wallet
184 displays the secured contract from the merchant and asks
185 for confirmation. Taler does not require the customer
186 to provide any identity information to the merchant.
187 Transaction histories and digitally
188 signed contracts can be preserved in the wallet for future
189 review by the customer, or even use in court.</li>
