Is online purchase the future?

Vincent Adhiambo

VINCENT: Hello everyone and welcome to another segment of the figures narrative and on this segment today, we are goin to talk about online purchase, my name is Vincent Adhiambo and our guest today is…..
DUNCAN: Duncan…
VINCENT: Yes, onto our first question, have you ever done online purchase or bought anything online?
DUNCAN: Yes have interacted with online purchasing and shopping platforms basically for example jumia, kilimall, glovo and the rest, they are quite convinient and easily accessible once you are connected to a reliable internet.
VINCENT: Yes and you comfortable making payments online?
DUNCAN :The main brands like the reliable and established online platforms make it secure because they use recognized modes of transaction but I have heard of incidences where my friends have been corned via online purchases but those are just a few incidences. So for me I feel comfortable making those payments.
VINCENT: And what issues did you face when shopping online?
DUNCAN: The major issue is what is being displayed like the photo the picture that is played for portraying the image its actually different from the image itself the quality might differ from the image being portrayed, so that is the major challenge and of course the time for the delivery, payment delivery of the said product is quite unpredictable to a certain extent because they will say three working days and at times it would even take a week, or a week and a half, so there are those challenges as well.
VINCENT : So how was your checkout experience?
DUNCAN : Generally it was a smooth one as you carried with you the relevant documents like your identification card and the message that you were sent to go and pick the item, it was all cool.
VINCENT : Thank you very much Duncan and you have heard the expert, so make sure you do more and more online shopping till next time. My name is Vincent Adhiambo.

Saving time as you shop

Marion Kyalo

Have you ever heard of online shopping and how it works? I believe that most of us have heard about it and how it works. Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce which allows consumers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the interest using a web browser or a mobile app. Customers find a product of interest by visiting the website of the retailer directly or by searching among alternative vendors using a different search engine. Customers can shop online using a range of different computers and smartphones and devices including desktops, laptops, tablet computers and smartphones. Online customers must have access to the internet and valid method of payment in order to complete a transaction.

Online stores are usually available 24 hours a day. The online shopping does the delivery of the purchased items for the customers. The delivery might be free or might be at a certain fee. This is really convenient for the customers. Online purchase usually has more information as compared to the physical purchase. This is because online stores must describe products for sale with texts, photos or even files. Online purchase can also be disadvantageous due to lack of ability to inspect merchandise before the purchase. There are also high chances of fraud as compared to physical purchase. Even though these challenges are still there many people nowadays still prefer to shop online because it’s the most convenient one to shop.
