This question has no further details.
Answers
You'll need a little more detail than that to get a useful answer, unfortunately.
Are you a developer and/or someone with access to custom development? If so, there are great options like Stripe available. You can use PayPal's API.
If not, you may want to look into SaaS offerings that handle the UX for you.
Also, is this a native mobile app, or a web-based mobile app?
Do you need subscription payments or one-off payments?
Taking people's money online is a complicated, risky process that needs to be extremely well-considered. Otherwise you risk big problems: unhappy clients, security vulnerabilities, poor usability, and so on.
I would recommend doing a good deal more research on your own, then coming back to this question with far more detail.
Good luck!
1. To create mobile payments you should start with peer to peer payments and let people pay anyone from their contact list.
2. Piggyback on messaging apps for faster adoption.
3. You will have to figure out how people will send money into mobile wallet and how they can take it out from mobile wallet. This has to be done within the ambit of country regulations.
4. Once money is in wallet, let people send and receive money via your mobile wallet.
5. Create a new wallet for anyone who has not created a wallet but has received money
6. For mass adoption you will have to focus on interoperatibility, meaning:
6a. Ease of transacting between mobile wallets provided by different wallet operators (will potentially address all payment scenarios - peer to peer, customer to merchant, and business to business payments)
6b. Ease of transacting between mobile wallets and bank account (will ease cash-in and cash-out)
6c. Better dispute resolution processes
6d. Better fraud and risk mitigation policies

I have several startup ideas. How do I decide on my technology stack?
You need to be able to get feedback on your product as quickly as possible, so my advice is to choose the technology stack that will allow you to build a prototype efficiently. There's no right answer here: for some people it's LAMP, for others it's node, for others it's a Windows stack. Worrying about the technology at the stage you're at is a red herring: worry about the product, the problem it solves and the user experience of your solution, and get feedback you can iterate on as quickly as possible. I'm a serial startup CTO who's now a startup founder and CEO. Let me know if I can help.BW

I am a non tech entrepreneur desperately trying to find answer to highly technical and nuanced questions on the cheap.
The best way would be to hire an expert on oDesk, etc. which is fairly cheap and also reliable. But It sounds like you want to go even cheaper than that. Try posting on StackExchange, which is free. Another cheap option is to check local Meetup.com tech gatherings in your area and ask some experts directly for free advice. Good luck!II

I have an idea of a new type of wearable device, which I think is really huge. But I have neither the team nor funding, how should I proceed?
The best avenue for funding would likely be Kickstarter, but that presumes that the idea of a gesture-reading device is likely to have broad-enough appeal, which I'm not sure of based on the one line description. When I think about reading gestures, I think about a market primarily aimed at people with vision impairments. If that's the case, you might even want to look at foundations or organizations who might fund some of the research, but that will almost inevitably slow your pace of innovation. You might want to setup a call with Clay Hebert if you decide to go the Kickstarter route. https://clarity.fm/clayhebert Best of luck. Curious to hear more.TW

What is the best technology for developing a new mobile app from scratch?
There are two sides to that question. One is the mobile app itself and the other is the backend. If I misunderstood in any way and you didn't mean "native" app I apologize in advance. On the backend, there is no clear cut answer to which is the "best". It depends solely on the developers you are able to get. We for example use Node.js , mongoDB, redis, elasticsearch and a couple of proprietary tools in the backend. But you have your pick of the litter now both on the backend api and the datastore with the myriad of options available and touted as the "best" currently on the market. Now on the app side again it solely depends on what you need your mobile app to do. Experiencing first-hand "develop once, run anywhere" I can say it's more like "develop once, debug everywhere" to quote a Java saying. We have tried Phonegap and Titanium Appcelerator and we have switched to native (ObjC and Java) after a couple of months of trying to go the hybrid route. The reasons behind the choice are as follows: - anything that breaks the pattern of how those frameworks NEED to operate is just a huge technical debt that keeps accruing a huge interest. - anything that uses css3 accelerated animations on Android is buggy at best and slow as hell at worst on any lower (< 4.1 I think) versions of Android I hope this gives you some insight.
