Online payments have always been troublesome for most
people. It requires a lot of filling up of forms and it also expose you to
potential harm since you get to give away for personal and confidential
information. This is even more complicated to countries that are no used to
doing online transactions at all. For anyone who is new to paying online, it
may require to take an extra effort on how to properly pay online and make sure
you do it right. One wrong move and you may overbill your account. It will be harder
to fix as you need to connect with the online business you’re dealing with
which may take days for processing. As compared to just paying in good old
fashion “cash” where you just need to hand it over. It is very simple. You pay
and you get what you want in real time. But as we evolved in the digital
marketing era, the more options rises in the online platform. This makes our
lives much easier and faster.
Take for instance shopping from an online mall. No need to
go thru traffic and waste your energy and time walking around the establishment
as you look for what you want to buy. With online malls, you only need an
Internet capable device with Internet access. You’ll just need to visit online
mall website to check what they are offering and shop. However, in the
Philippines, it’s a different case. A couple of years ago, we were not
accustomed in doing online shopping. Majority of us are not even credit card
users which is the most common payment method done online. This actually made
Ecommerce growth slow. The penetration is pretty hard to do since the market is
low. Good thing that website like Lazada PH came in the
picture. They single handedly made online shopping a potential option for our
shopping needs. Thanks to their Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. it allowed Filipinos
to shop on their website online without requiring to pay upfront using
conventional online payments like credit cards. All they need to do is just
give their shipment address and recipient name of the order. Lazada will ship out
your orders and charge you only after you receive your order after they
delivered it right in front of our doorsteps.
Lazada
Online Mall was actually the first online mall to introduce the Cash on
Delivery alternative payment method. Although this payment method is already
being used locally mostly from fast food delivery, it helped the Ecommerce
industry in the Philippines to start rolling as it grows in the country. It
also allowed us to get familiar on how online shopping can make our lives far
easier and more convenient. Since their arrival, other local online malls where
established as well to compete with them. This just gives us more options on
where to buy what we want. Their influence thru offering C.O.D. made online
shopping an accepted option to look forward to by any Filipino who wants to
shop anytime.
