One good example is having the option to shop on online from anywhere and whenever customers would like. 

As a matter of fact, online shopping is now a rising trend in the country now that it has become popular to the local online users. Believe it or not, this wasn't the case a few years ago; people were hesitant in online shopping. Most of us are aware that we have a high frauds and scams in the country for both online and offline. Moreover, this is the reason why many do not consider online transaction.  What was closest considered in Ecommerce was local online classified websites.

Local classified websites helped prepare the arrival of local online malls. These top local classifieds online created a marketplace community in online. It was actually tough to seek items you want online when these local online classified websites were not yet available. It has become a venue for online users to check the price of the item they want before visiting malls. These allowed online users to stay longer have other purpose in Internet usage. A lot of small business used this buy and sell platform.

The difference between them and Ecommerce is that it is third party resellers who gain from the traffic. Customers do Offline transactions most of the time. Customers also encounter this same kind of setup with group buying websites. They showed the way for the Ecommerce websites in the country. In the Philippines, local online users were already familiar by the local Ecommerce websites were launched. Local online users have a lot to gain than loss. It was hard for local online users to get greater deals being offered by group buy websites. The offered deals of group buy websites were so great that it will be hard for customers to not try them out.

A year ago, Lazada Online Store arrived in the country. An online mall ventures available across South East Asia. The Samwer brothers who own Rocket Internet back it. By offering various payment methods, the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall helped the Ecommerce grow in the country. The payment methods being offered by them allow their customers to select whom they prefer the best for them. Credit cards and PayPal are usually the online payment method accepted by most online stores. This hampers the customers in availing the items they want since they are limited in paying online the conventional way. The online payment method Cash on Delivery helped customers to avail online payment more. The untapped market in the past can now be tapped with their offering of this payment method. Actually, the majority of the local market is this one in the Philippines. This finally helped the Ecommerce grow by tapping into this market as well for online.
