Bridging the Gap

W

elcome to the new age of shopping experience! The winds of change have altered the way the world shops! The dynamics of shopping and overall consumer behavior has undergone a significant shift over the past few years, more so in the last couple of months. And today, the smart-device is the new shopping mall!

The Covid-19 situation has compelled the market to adapt to the "new normal", and today, more and more businesses are moving their shops online. And needless to say, shoppers are also excitedly and increasingly shifting to online shopping en masse. Despite this major shift to online shopping, it would be important to note that the apprehension about the security of financial data has very often been a deal-breaker. Most e-commerce managers will agree that this has also been one of the major reasons for the unhealthy proportion of abandoned carts vis-a-vis customer footfall on the site. In such a situation, a major focus of the merchant needs to be diverted towards creating an environment of reliability and trust, where customers are reassured of data confidentiality and data security. Various payment gateways and payment aggregators have long since tried to bridge this gap, however, the fear of transmitting one's financial information to a third party, who will, in turn, pass this information over to the merchant, is something that has been a hurdle of sorts.
