Every aspect of our daily lives is digitalized, from payments to purchasing to manufacturing. In recent years, e-payments have gained popularity in academic research. A sample of 474 articles retrieved from the Scopus database was visualized using the Biblioshiny and VOS viewer tools. This study focuses on exploring significant players, current trends in e-payments, and identifying potential future research avenues. A systematic literature review is coupled with bibliometric, network, and content analyses. Authors and papers with the most citations are ranked according to PageRank. A co-citation network is developed to determine the intellectual structure of the research area. Content analysis was performed on papers in two clusters discovered via bibliometric tools. As a result of this study, we can summarize the scientific literature on e-payments development. Besides identifying research gaps, the study proposes research directions for the future.
