It’s
always been a challenge for most countries in South East Asia to establish
their local Ecommerce industry to their local online market. Like our country,
we usually encountered a lot of issues in dealing with online. For some local
online users, it was always a challenge for them to make online payment. It's
hard to give away credit card details and personal information online just to
pay for something you bought. It's very confusing for other countries that are
unfamiliar with online payments. Some users may struggle in online payment
especially if they are still new to it. Not properly doing it may lead you to
be overbilled. The downside is that when it comes to online and you got billed
more accidentally, it takes longer days for it to be processed. It's very easy.
You get what you want in real time.
In
this modern digital era, other options have risen online. One option that is
now available in online is shopping. You can actually save time and energy
walking around the mall building. If you want to shop online, you'll only need
Internet access and an Internet capable device. It's a quick access online if
you want to visit their website and find out what they can offer. It's very
different here in the Philippines. Shopping online wasn't available then. Conventionally,
we weren't able to pay online since most of us are not credit card owners. As a
result, Ecommerce grew slower than compared to other industries. Having a low
market made Ecommerce very challenging. When website like Lazada Online mall came
in, it made Ecommerce penetration much easier.
It
made online shopping a relevant and clear 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. Customers who select Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. can just leave their
shipment address and customer name. It's only when orders are delivered at the
shipment address that payment is required by the Philippines’ Online Shopping
Mall. This is only the first tome Cash on Delivery was offered by a local
online store in the country. With option of Cash on Delivery, it marked the
first time it was introduced in our country and evidently helped the growth of
Ecommerce. The growth of Ecommerce can’t be overlooked ever since they came in
our country.
Ultimately,
it made us understand how it can be easier for us in online shopping. Since
they arrived in the country, competitors show up from nowhere. Most of the
local online businesses are now recognizing how online can help build their
business elevated to the next level. This gives us flexibility in shopping
options rather than just the conventional offline shopping. No longer we will
worry about the time of our schedule. We can pretty much dictate when and where
we want to shop. It is similar to having an imaginary on and off button in
addressing our shopping needs.
