Chinanews.com, June 8, according to the South American Overseas Chinese News Network, affected by the new crown epidemic, the online shopping enthusiasm of Colombians has increased significantly in recent months, and electronic payment applications have become more widespread.
According to reports, in Colombia, online shopping has become the most common form of consumption. According to data provided by the National E-Commerce Association (CCCE), during the epidemic, online transactions of retail food increased by 50%, and the market size of door-to-door delivery services increased by more than 2.5 times. Virtual channels have also made various financial services more popular. At present, the Colombian peso circulating in multiple online financial platforms has totaled more than 10 billion US dollars.
Although online shopping provides convenience for people's lives, some users still worry that online consumption will increase the risk of bank account theft and online fraud. In addition, for those who are used to traditional shopping, there are many "uncertainties" in online shopping. For example, relative to a physical retail store, you cannot try on clothes when buying clothes online, and you can only buy according to the size in the product description. Inconsistent size standards in various countries may cause inconvenience.
