Shopping online has come to be perceived as a cheaper, more convenient, and safer option than physically visiting brick-and-mortar department stores, retail outlets, and grocery stores, especially in consideration of the COVID-19\u00a0 pandemic. It also benefits those who desire to establish their own small businesses since building an online store typically requires less capital than setting up a physical one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, this shift to e-commerce has also required aspiring business owners to explore offering more payment options to their would-be customers. Whereas in-store purchases are easily settled with over-the-counter cash transactions, online stores often need to find ways to accept alternative modes of payment in order to improve the purchasing experience for customers and to prevent one of the biggest consequences of payment issues: cart abandonment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an online seller, you may want to provide as many payment options as possible to accommodate the preferences of your customers, but doing this is not always feasible. Managing several payment channels can be challenging for smaller operations with limited manpower, and some channels may entail service subscription fees that become an added cost to other business expenses. Fortunately, there is a growing number of different payment methods that are being made available to e-commerce players. As a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">madiskarteng <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">boss, it is prudent for you to know the pros and cons of these payment methods to help you determine the best option for your business.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f0a24e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3f0a24e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Payment Cards<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bad1e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7bad1e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.grab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/09\/28202619\/pexels-photo-6207699.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-44484\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39b4512 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"39b4512\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Payment cards have been around for a very long time, so it is no surprise that this small piece of plastic was one of the first payment methods to be adopted by businesses in the early days of e-commerce.

It shows customers that the business has invested in a bank-accredited payment system, which requires the business to undergo and pass legal certifications.

Most established e-commerce players offer card payment options to make online shopping easy for their customers. The availability of this payment method positively influences the target consumers\u2019 purchasing behaviors, and as such, being able to provide the same convenient shopping experience to potential buyers puts you on a par with the other, more successful, players.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your store sells big-ticket items like home appliances or electronics, credit cards also allow you to offer installment payment schemes to your customers.

Many service providers deduct a hefty transfer fee for each transaction, which is shouldered by the recipient. What this means for a business is that they can either earn a much smaller profit, or they need to factor in the transfer cost to their product pricing. Having the customer shoulder the money transfer fee is certainly an option because it is not in the business\u2019s best interest to have such expenses eat into their margins, but they must also consider if doing this will make them less competitive.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is also inconvenient for online businesses to course payments through a third party, as this may require several days of clearing time. This can delay the seller\u2019s ability to verify receipt of the buyer\u2019s payment and their access to the cash. If the seller does not have a bank account linked to the remittance service, they will also need to claim the payment in person from the remittance center, which is an inefficient collection method.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab004d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab004d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Digital Wallets<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e59823 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9e59823\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.grab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/09\/28203315\/5243336.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-44487\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb8690f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb8690f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mobile internet connectivity and the widespread use of smartphones have ushered in a new era of electronic payments.

Some services may also require a valid identification card to verify the user\u2019s identity and to give them access to more features. With no requirements for a minimum maintaining balance, the barrier to entry is very low, so it is more accessible compared to opening a bank account.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Convenience is the biggest draw to online shopping and other types of internet-based transactions, so it follows that online payments are designed for convenience as well. Many digital wallets can be linked to customer profiles on online shopping platforms, so they can easily pay for their purchases by pressing just a few buttons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many consumers have opted to use digital wallets for both in-store and online purchases.

Without a bank account to link to, reloading remains a manual process to be accomplished through over-the-counter payments in banks, remittance centers, and other payment channels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The same challenge is experienced by users when it comes to withdrawing money from the digital wallet. If your business receives payments through this channel, your options are to move the cash to your bank account for a minimal fee or to purchase a physical card that allows you to withdraw the money from an ATM. Either way, both options pose an additional cost to your business operations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digital wallets also impose transaction limits, so you can only receive payments of up to a certain amount.

Many consumers also prefer to pay cash on delivery (COD) for online purchases even if they already have access to bank accounts and digital wallets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The common sentiment is that COD protects consumers from fraudulent or problematic transactions. It isn\u2019t unheard of, after all, for some customers to receive fake, defective, or faulty products or for others to experience problems with their orders, like when sellers never fulfill orders, or when items are shipped through logistics companies of ill repute, causing the parcels to get lost or get to damaged because of poor handling. Some consumers may also prefer COD because they are worried about disclosing their financial information online and having their accounts hacked and their money stolen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In short, cash on delivery affords consumers the perception of safety because they won\u2019t have to hand over their money until they have the items they bought safely in their hands.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1633f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1633f8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-da14c30\" data-id=\"da14c30\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-162450d elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"162450d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-thumbs-up\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb446b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bb446b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pros of Cash on Delivery\u00a0<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35181e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"35181e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cash on delivery is the most convenient payment option for buyers as it doesn\u2019t entail enrolling in a financial service. Payment can be easily made with the money that the buyer already has on hand; no need to go to the bank or remittance center or to have internet access to settle payment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cash on delivery also assures buyers that they aren\u2019t being scammed by unscrupulous sellers. They can first check if their order is delivered correctly and without damage before settling payment. Knowing that they can do this can give them peace of mind while helping build trust in your business. After all, once they learn that your business is legit, they\u2019d be more willing to transact with you again in the future.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indeed, offering a cash on delivery payment option is a must for any Filipino business\u2014but especially online selling businesses\u2014to succeed. As the primary payment preference of Filipino consumers, COD helps increase your chances of closing a sale instead of having customers abandon their purchase at the last minute. Because cash payments are accessible to everyone, sellers who offer this payment method can reach a wider customer base. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-dc86be2\" data-id=\"dc86be2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ee3210 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"4ee3210\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-thumbs-down\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8592b10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8592b10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cons of Cash on Delivery\u00a0<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-773b658 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"773b658\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the convenience of cash on delivery is clearly beneficial to buyers and allows sellers to reach more customers, some business owners may still feel wary about offering this payment method.
