It’s All a Matter of Payment Options

According to a number of reports, global e-commerce spending for 2019 will reach USD 3.6 trillion. This represents an annual growth of around 18 percent.

However, you shouldn’t make the assumption they will do so automatically. It all depends on the payment options you present them with.
