Online Shopping and Secure Payments, how to free yourself and not take risks when we are about to buy on the internet.
Today we are going a little off topic, given the scope of this blog, delving into delle very useful information for our readers, i.e. how to shop online and pay in complete safety.
As owners of an e-commerce site, we are at the forefront of security for online purchases, we know perfectly well the pleasure of shopping online and doing so in complete safety must be the priority offered to all customers.
However, there are delle small rules that must always be kept in mind when purchasing a product online, be they a couple of shoes than any other type of good, let's discover them together.
First of all, FrartLet's start from a basic concept, what are secure payments? Basically they boil down to just 3: Paypal, Cash on Delivery and Bank Transfer.
Paypal is a way of paying with your own creditartto credit ocartrechargeable, offers delle garanzie real and tangible to the buyer, such as the protection program (I remind you that Paypal is a company involved inartand the multinational giant Ebay!), in practice they literally invented secure online payment, it is simple to use and with very little data you can really shop online in complete safety.
But as people who work on an e-commerce site, we know well that many times people are reluctant to use the cartto online credit and therefore the best forms of payments in this case are bank transfer or cash on delivery.
The bank transfer offers the possibility of paying the seller without having a relationship with the website at the time of payment, so the data used are practically obscured from the seller who can at most control the arrival of the currency in terms of the bank statement. Furthermore, it is a traceable payment and in case of disputes it is considered useful.
However, it has the disadvantage of slowness and timing, in fact in this case the money does not arrive in real time, but it takes 2-3 days and often it is also necessary to do the fila (for those who do not have an online account) to do it, it also has a small cost for the user to pay.
Cash on delivery is certainly the best and safest alternative, we pay for the goods directly upon delivery, without risking anything, it has a cost which is generally due to the courier's collection costs but it is absolutely the method to be preferred especially when a site it is not entirely reliable or at least little known.
Having said that, how can we not pay to avoid risks?
Refills of cartand like Poste Pay, we strongly advise against them, they do not offer garanzie, so unless you know the seller's reliability well, they are absolutely to be avoided.
Buying abroad? It is often convenient, but you need to carefully weigh the pros and cons! Shipping is the first problem, it generally costs a lot, furthermore if we buy in a non-EU country, which often happens, are there any costs or rather customs duties, personally? We are of the opinion that it is better to spend our money in Italy instead of sending it abroad!
In any case, if you really can't help but buy abroad, do so only with secure payment methods, so in this case only and absolutely Paypal, which is the best way to protect yourself.
Last but not least, any e-commerce site is very clear about how it processes your personal data, to protect your privacy and the conditions of sale, always take a look at these data, it is important to know the purchase conditions before yet to buy.
