Abstract: In today's world, everything is digital, from payments to purchasing to manufacturing. E-payment research has gained traction in recent years. Biblioshiny and VOSviewer tools were used to visualise the data and demonstrate the link using a sample of 1,274 articles obtained from the Scopus database. The goal of the current study is to pinpoint significant players, important geographies, and existing trends while also outlining potential future research avenues in the domain of e-payments. The study uses bibliometric, network, and content analysis in addition to a systematic examination of the literature. To determine the most influential papers and authors, citations and PageRank are used. To determine how the research area is structured intellectually, a co-citation network is developed. Using bibliometric tools, three clusters of research papers have been discovered, and the papers in the clusters have been analysed via content analysis. This study helps to present the development of the scientific literature on e-payment. In addition to identifying research gaps, the study proposes two actionable future research directions.

Keywords: e-payment; co-citation; systematic literature review; bibliometric analysis; network analysis.
