Understand the current use of mobile payment in the online shopping process

What is mobile payment? Mobile payment refers to payments made through mobile devices (such as mobile phones or tablets). People may choose to use mobile payments instead of paying directly with credit or debit cards, cash, or checks. Mobile payment is very practical for customers because it provides an extremely convenient payment method for purchasing products or services. In countries where the use of banks and credit cards is relatively low, the use of mobile devices is usually relatively high, and mobile payments give customers the opportunity to make purchases in non-traditional ways. As the use of smartphones around the world rises, the amount of mobile payments has also increased, and it will only increase further. According to the 2016 "Digital Payments 2020" (electronic payment overview in 2020) report jointly released by the Boston Consulting Group and Google 2:

• By 2020, the number of users of mobile Internet services is expected to reach 3 billion. This accounts for approximately 65% of the world's adult population.

• By 2020, mobile devices will become the main Internet access method (80%), and 58% of these mobile device users will use smartphones to access the Internet.
