Growth in Popularity of on-line shopping.
Consumers are increasingly buying from internet websites. 2006 saw an increase of consumer spend with on-line purchases and those who researched products on-line before then buying them at a contact store, amounted to £80 billion. On-line sales are expected to rise 40% this year. (Internet Retailing.)
Consumers are gaining trust in this form of shopping although it would still be recommended to search for a trusted secure payment provider, such as PROTX, at the stage of inputting credit card details.
