There are many payment methods/systems/platforms for eCommerce sites.
Do the following:
Name 3 different payment methods.
AND
Tell me 1 advantage (PRO) and 1 disadvantage (CON) for each of the 3 different type
Three different payment methods are as follows -
1) Cash payment - It refers to paying notes or coin hand to hand.
Advantage - It is the fastest among all payment options.
Disadvantage - Cash increases the risk of theft as money in the drawer can be stolen.
2) Checks - Cheque is the person's note to the money receiver on which his name and amount are written.
Advantage - Cheque is suitable for paying large amounts of money, as it is not safe to carry it.
Disadvantage - It does not guarantee the payment, sometimes the cheque bounces.
3) Debit/Credit Card - These are the plastic cards used to make direct payments.
Advantage - According to the research, people with credit/debit card spend more, so it might boost sales.
Disadvantage - Refunds on cards are not instant, and it increases the risk of fraud too.
