Most
people are unable to pay online in the Philippines. When we pay online, we
usually fill forms and provide our credit card details that may expose us to
online identity theft. There are other countries that encounter issues in
online shopping since they are not familiar. Some users may struggle in online
payment especially if they are still new to it.
One wrong move and you may overbill your account. The issue with online
is that it takes more days for processing of mistaken billing. It's not hard to
understand. You get to avail what you paid for in real time. In this modern
digital era, other options have risen online. An example of this change is
option to shop online. In order to shop, it is no longer a requirement to waste
energy and time. It's only Internet access and Internet capable device that is
needed for online shopping.
To
know what is offered by online malls, you can simply just visit their website.
It's very different here in the Philippines. A few years back, if it were not
used in online shopping. Conventional online payment is not an option to most
of the people. It made the growth of Ecommerce slow. The local online market
was really hard to be penetrated by Ecommerce. When website like Lazada came
in, it made Ecommerce penetration much easier. After their arrival, they made
online shopping as an accepted option in the country. Even if you are not a
credit card owner, Lazada still allows to shop online on their website through
Cash on Delivery or C.O.D.
The
Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall only requires customers who select Cash on
Delivery or C.O.D. as their payment method can just leave their shipment
address and name. They only require Lazada customers to pay once they have
delivered the orders at their customer's shipment address. This is only the first
tome Cash on Delivery was offered by a local online store in the country. It
was actually offered before but only by fast food delivery companies, which
helped the Ecommerce industry in the country. It helped us realize the value of
online shopping to us.
After
they arrived in the country, local competitors put up their own local online
mall to compete with them. It helped us gain more options in shopping as
compared before when we only have offline shopping. This is actually a
remarkable breakthrough in our country since it now gives us all the option we
can get from shopping. I used to remember when I usually come home late at
night when I was working on night shift. During those times, I was unable to go
to malls to shop whenever I please. I only get to visit them during the
weekends. But I usually dedicate for my rest. With online shopping, I can
easily shop whenever I want. I can now even shop over my smartphones. They
recently updated their payment methods and added installment payment care of
BDO and recently tied up with Mega Link.
