Convenience in payment flexibility


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. Problem in dealing with online business is that it takes time for processing takes longer days compared when you deal with offline businesses.  It is very simple.  You get what you want in return of what you paid for in real time. But now that we are in the new era, other online options showed up.

This makes our lives much easier and faster. You can actually save time and energy walking around the mall building. Thru online shopping, you'll only need an Internet access and Internet capable device. You can easily access any online mall's website to check what they offer. In the Philippines, it's actually different. A few years back, we were not used in online shopping. No everyone possesses a credit card to do online transactions. This made the Ecommerce growth very slow.  The market was really low that's why Ecommerce also had a hard time. Website like Lazada Philippines clearly helped Ecommerce. Their arrival made online shopping as a potential option. It's all thanks to their Cash on Delivery or C.O.D., it allowed non-credit card owners to shop online as well.

Lazada only requires customers who opt for Cash on Delivery to leave their shipment address and name. Orders will be delivered directly on the shipment address and only ask for payment once it get delivered in real time. Cash on Delivery in online is actually first introduced by them. It was actually offered before but only by fast food delivery companies, which helped the Ecommerce industry in the country. This opened our eyes on how online shopping can help us online. Since they arrived in the country, competitors show up from nowhere. This allows us to have more options than ever since we now have offline and online shopping. This gives us more opportunity to select which will fit us best. Gone are the days where we need to time ourselves on when we will address our shopping needs. As for customers who have issues on their tight schedule, they can shop wherever or whenever we please. This is actually a good thing for us we are now expanding in online options. I really wonder what will be next that will hit the Philippines. As for Lazada, what I truly like about them is that they have already accomplished so much in just over a year of existence in the country. They even managed to help change how Ecommerce have been perceived.
