Ecommerce sales — online shopping, esports, online gaming and other internet activities — continue to experience accelerated growth in Canada. Stores can reap the benefits of this trend by offering their customers products and services to help them easily make these types of purchases.
‘Most Canadians now shop online with studies indicating this trend will continue to grow…The forecast: Ecommerce sales in Canada will reach $79.80 billion in 2022, up 10.4% year over year (YoY). We expect ecommerce growth to remain in the double digits through 2023, and reach $104.77 billion by 2025… (see source)'
‘…In the last several years, esports has moved from a niche community of passionate video game fans to a mainstream, billion-dollar industry. Total esports viewership from around the world is expected to reach 646 million by 2023, and the market could surpass $1.5 billion at this time (see source)'
While these activities are hugely popular with Canadians, many have security concerns about entering their financial information.
Solution for consumer + retailer
One increasingly popular payment solution with both customers and retailers is the Online Payment Voucher, a prepaid voucher. Each voucher comes with a PIN printed on it which can be used to purchase products and services online.
With consumer concerns about financial data privacy, prepaid vouchers will be attractive to your customers because they are safe and secure, easily available, anonymous and cost effective. They can also be purchased with debit or cash, a benefit for anyone without a credit card. Another reason online prepaid vouchers appeal to consumers is the ability to separate online game spending from everyday banking.
