Cash-short payment options grow

Quickly changing tack and game plan, online marketplaces and mobile wallets, 48 hours since the announcement of banning Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, have been busy pushing old and new digital payment options.

The aim is to hold on to their cash-based customer base, as well as maintaining their gross merchandise value targets.

Online mobile wallet major Paytm is adding a feature of geo-locating all the offline points where their wallet is accepted. Snapdeal is now accepting payments via their mobile wallet, Freecharge, on delivery of the product.

With the cash on delivery (COD) customer base accounting for 60 per cent of total transactions, online marketplaces are eager to retain this customer base but minus the hassle of getting the cash back into the company. So, instead of COD, they are opting for mobile wallet on delivery, so that people who have stopped shopping as they are staunch believers of COD can have the satisfaction of paying only when they get the product at their doorstep. This, it is hoped, would help online marketplaces get back the customers they fear losing.
