It
is undeniable that online shopping came a long way that I never envisioned it
to have this much impact in the modern digital time. Back in the days, Internet
usage was mainly used to get quick information and the latest news whether it
may be local or global. Back then; websites were just basic and not too fancy
compared to what we see nowadays. Before, Website is just text-based form,
which is dull nowadays when you come to think of it. Online users of today
won't have the same patience for the old era of websites. It is quite
fascinating to see that as the Internet evolved, websites upgraded as well.
Shopping online eventually came in last year, which is a surprise to everyone
since no one expected it to arrive in the country. Online shopping wasn't
perceived highly by the local online community when it first arrived in the
country.
As a
matter of fact, the Ecommerce industry in general was struggling to rise. The
local Ecommerce scene only changed when website like Lazada Philippines came
into the picture. What is surprising is that no one knew what they were when
they arrived. Their company name does not even ring a bell of what they are.
Initially, they were thought of to flop in the local online scene since
Ecommerce wasn't highly regarded in the country. This was the issue that they
were facing that is why they need to come up with a solution wherein they
offered Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. With this payment method, it allows pretty
much anyone to order from their website directly.
The
conventional online payment method such as credit cards or PayPal won't matter
that much anymore. Customers will just need to visit their actually website
online. Once they are on the website they can choose whatever they want and
have it directly shipped to their homes. There is no need for them to pay
upfront like how it is done the conventional way in online payment. Typically,
an online store would require their customers to pay right away. With this
online mall, they don't restrict it to that extend. They can hold their money
up until their orders arrive and are handed over to them in real time. This
eventually helped kill the initial Ecommerce woes that plagued the country.
The
trusts of customers are easily acquired with this kind of setup. Anyone given
the option not to pay right away will be at ease with his or her deal. It
allows anyone to become his or her customers. Besides, if orders don't push
through, they can still use it to shop another mall regardless if it is online
or offline. This clearly shows that the Philippines' Online Shopping Mall has
the disadvantage with this setup. It just shows how confident they are with
their service. It's more than just an online store offering products. Their
goal ultimate goal is to make a difference in online shopping.
