do online shopping weigh in over traditional shopping with the local customers?
Online shopping would have been rejected if it were offered a few years back.
Customers always consider credibility if ever they will be shopping on an
online mall. Frauds and scams in online usually happen that's why customers are
avoiding shopping online. Credit cards are not actually popular in the country

important for an online store have. Customers proceeding to online shopping are
usually bound with these details. Online shopping has drastically changed ever
since Lazada online mall came into that picture a year ago. Other local
businessmen quickly shifted to online business, specifically online shopping. It
is actually sad that International Internet giants needed to show the way

The
Philippines Online Shopping Mall arrived in the country with a solution to
solve the Ecommerce issues in the Philippines. Their solution was to offer an
alternative payment method that will solve the local Ecommerce woes in the
country. They simply called it Cash on Delivery or C.O.D., which is called by
many. This online setup allows customers to trust them and feel secured right
away. Risk is lesser with this payment method since customers don't need to
expose their credit card details and can proceed right away on testing their
service. How can customers work on this setup? The local online consumers can
visit their website and check their huge selections. There is no need to pay
right away in case customers figured out which one they want to buy. They only
require customers who select Cash on Delivery to give a few details like the
shipment address and name of the recipient without need to pay upfront.

their orders to arrive at their doorsteps, which usually take two to five days.
Upon delivery and as order are handed over to local online customer, that's the
only time they are required to pay cash in real time. Once an order delivery is
above one thousand pesos, they will shoulder the delivery fee. Since customers
keeps the money up until their orders arrive, they feel more secured in online.

competition as they give their customers more edge over themselves as an online
store. They also continue to look for ways to improve their service by adding
more alternative payment options to their service and giving their customers
more flexibility on what fits them best. They even tied up with MegaLink just
recently and re-offered PayPal payment options to their customers.
