Paying online is
usually a problem for most people in the Philippines. Information such as
credit card details and personal information might be compromised. This is more
troubling to countries that not familiar with online transactions. Ordering
online is quite delicate since it should be done properly especially for new to
online payment. Not properly doing it may lead you to be overbilled. It
actually takes more days for wrong billing to be processed in online, which is
a pain to anyone. It's not hard to understand. You only pay what you paid for
in real time. In the new are of digital space, other options are now available.
A good example
is that we can now shop online. People will no longer need to waste their
energy and time just to shop. You’ll only Internet access and an Internet
capable device when you want to shop online. To see what online malls have to
offer, you just need to go visit their website. However, it's very different in
the Philippines. Shopping online wasn't available then. Most of us are unable
to pay online since they are not credit card owners. It made the growth of
Ecommerce slow. It was challenging for Ecommerce to penetrate the local online
market.
Lazada's arrival
made the penetration of Ecommerce in the country much easier. It made Ecommerce
relevant to the country when they arrived. Shopping online via Cash on Delivery
or C.O.D. availability of Lazada, allowed non-credit card owners to shop online
as well. Customers will only need to leave their shipment address and name of
the order recipient.
Once orders are
delivered at the customer's shipment address, that's the only time they will
require to be paid. It was the first time C.O.D. or Cash on Delivery was
offered online thru them. Although, it is being offered before local fast food
chains the first time offered it offered online that greatly helped the
Ecommerce industry. It helped us understand on how online shopping can make it
far easier for us.
After they
arrived in the country, local competitors put up their own local online mall to
compete with them. As there shopping options showed up, it now gives us more
alternatives in shopping. Now, time and location won’t be an issue as we can
instantly shop online whenever we want.
The most
impressive influence they made is that they actually opened the doors in
Ecommerce. What they did in just over a year is above and beyond. Nowadays,
online shopping is becoming a prominent option in the country. What used to be
an unreliable option is now on the rise.
They helped
revolutionize Ecommerce in the local online space. This imprint they did will
now is part of the local history in online. The scariest part is that they are
just starting to expand their influence in online. So far they continue to
surprise us. Just recently they opened instalment payment option for their
customers, which marks the first time it was offered by an online mall in the
local online scene.
