A call to humanity in a world where even our connections are commodified. I find it naive that you think we can turn back time and help local businesses when, let's be honest, they're fighting a losing war against online giants. Your experience with food that has gone bad and more expensive items? That's the rate at which small businesses fail yelling at you. It's harsh, but that's how business works

I'd like to try something different. Why not tell these small shops to step up their game? It goes both ways, doesn't it? Before I take my money away from easy-to-use online giants, these neighborhood vendors better have something special to offer. And before you use words like "sympathy" and "humanity," please ask yourself: When was the last time you worked hard to make your local businesses better?

Price and quality really matters alot because if there is something which is less in price but quality is not good then people will not buy that. Sometimes higher price also attracts costumers because i have saw many costumers who just move towards those shops in which the price touch the sky.

Quality is preferred more but less price can attract poor people and those of wealthy people always think about quality but for them price price is not a major concern.

The words of sellers also have the power to attract the costumers in a case of physical shopping as we know that costumers will be more in those shopping site the seller of which has sweet tongue.

Now this is different, I've been talking about other products aside from produce when I initially replied to OP but I agree with you regarding produce. It is always best to go local as they are cheaper and they are also mostly fresh (this still depends on the kind of market and vendor you go to). Moreover, it is a good way to support your local farmers and fishermen, most of all the country's local agriculture. I especially feel this for my country as agriculture is the main source of living here, at least outside the greater capital/city. Essentially, if we are talking about produce then I have no doubt going for my local vendors for sure.

The input given by the OP is correct and it can be said that the OP's input is very sympathetic. Because nowadays there are quite a lot of people who don't really care about the people around them. Moreover, to help advance home businesses or grocery stores near where they live. In my opinion, this is very rare, especially in the area where I live. In fact, what is happening is not helping each other, but rather the opposite, namely mutual envy. So with this, the people around me tend to be individuals.

Therefore, people around me (in particular) prefer to shop for daily necessities in online stores or shopping centers around urban areas. Because apart from the things above, there are several other reasons that make people prefer to shop online.
Caused because
• Incomplete supply of goods or food ingredients
• Prices tend to be more expensive compared to online stores
• The quality of the goods or their hygiene is very poor. Because from my personal experience, I often find food ingredients that have expired, but are still being sold.

Maybe these are the factors that make me and the people around me prefer shopping online or shopping at large shopping centers rather than at local shops. But after I saw the post and suggestions from the OP, maybe I will shop more often at the stalls around my house. Because basically life is not just about ego, but having a sense of sympathy and humanity is also very important.

Going to your local produce has always been the best choice for me. Not only are they cheaper, you can also guarantee that they are fresh and straight from the farm/fisheries. I live near a coastal area, as well as a piggery so when I look for meat I don't go any farther. To some especially those that live in tight urban cities this may be a massive ordeal especially since most of these places are monopolized by large groceries and supermarkets, but if you're willing to take that 30 min. walk which you can also portray as your exercise for the day, you're getting the epic guarantee that not only are you getting fresh, cheap, and healthy produce, you're also making sure that you're fit and healthy on the way there.

There's a saying in my country: "Where there's a will, there's a way". In times when resourcefulness is necessitated, we gotta keep our brains fired up else we're risking losing those important few cents you know.

I don't think it's like that, sir, even if the WTO gives freedom to every industry, it is allowed to carry out marketing wherever it wants, but this is the prerogative of returning to the country that is the market, and usually each country has its own trade rules in this policy.

For example, marketing goods to China has complicated requirements and lots of documents that need to be fulfilled to make them eligible for trading in China.
Meanwhile in other countries there are not too many requirements in trade agreements.

Your conversation is very interesting, but what the OP means is not that, he is more focused on shopping at the shop around your house rather than using the online shop to make purchases for your needs, sir.

Producing good quality and prices in producing goods is very necessary in order to attract more consumers to buy the goods we produce and if we have produced good production and good quality, of course consumers will choose the goods we have produced. To save the economic cycle of the surrounding environment, I think there is a need for training for business people to be able to make good quality goods so that those in the environment choose to buy them from other places because the goods produced in their environment are not of good quality.

In the midst of the uncertain world economic situation, many countries are taking various steps to ensure that the economy in their country does not cause serious chaos. I agree with you that we prefer to sell domestic goods, such as spending on basic necessities at local traders. If people's awareness grows to do things like that, it will be very good for money circulation in the area itself.

At the global level, economic competition is very tight, developed countries are competing to create quality goods at affordable prices for the public. On the one hand, activities like this are good, but they are very risky for developing countries which find it difficult to compete with the technology possessed by developed countries.

Therefore, I hope that local producers will be able to create higher quality products that can be reached by local customers so that the domestic economy will be more vibrant and of course government support will be highly expected in certain conditions.

Your approach to support merchants and businesses in your local community is admirable, because it promotes the growth of local manufacturing industries. However, it is important to recognize that many nations are members of World trade organization (WTO), which obliges all members to allow free and unrestricted movement of goods among themselves. Therefore, it becomes important for local industries to manufacture products that are both competitive in terms of quality and price on the global market.

Yeah Sure, Have to save our environment

We live in a time when technological answers and money go hand in hand. The fact that the fintech company takes on the debt is interesting because it shows how well they and the market work together.

Moving on, there is a lot of promise for small retailers. If they switch to ways that don't require cash, they are basically throwing open the doors to modern conveniences like "pay later". What's the instant benefit? Keeping the retailer's cash flow steady and putting the follow-up on the banking company. Isn't there a slight change in the balance of power here?

Your advice that local shop owners adapt to the culture of convenience, especially when it comes to fast delivery, is important. It's business efficiency: immediate payment and quick stock movement. Still, isn't it strange? Even the idea of looking for new ways to pay in the future is based on trust and cooperate

In any shop, the customer must be considered king because in general it is the shop owner who needs the customer, not the other way around. So shop owners are obliged to look after their customers and continue to provide super comfortable service so that their customers don't run away to other places. Apart from that, the shop must also show an attitude that can be liked by everyone so that its customers can continue to grow and cover as closely as possible matters of personal interest that can be read by everyone when they come to buy at the shop.

This is needed so that customers do not become suspicious of the interests of the shop owner, even though there is a hidden interest in continuing to attract customers so that he has more sales in his shop. But if the products sold in the shop do not have the quality we want, I also agree to stay away from the shop even though the owner is our own relative.

Pay features later on online shopping behavior can be a trap or become a solution, because this depends on its use, this kind of thing can have the interpretation of two sides, namely positively or negatively, but indeed with the "Pay later" feature especially in the old date In general, those who work "have not gotten a salary" This feature is very useful to support a temporary need. While indeed for real/traditional shop businesses it is very difficult for them to match features like this, there are some traditional shops that do things like this "may owe" but for them this is quite difficult because they do not have any compensation when their customers do not pay debt at a precise time.

I agree that it is better not to use the "Pay later" feature if the goods purchased are not so needed.

In business, the customer is king, stores will know what to do and what strategy to best attract and retain customers. For me as a customer, I will only buy stores that benefit me, I cannot ignore my interests just to support a few stores around me. I want to do that too, but if they take advantage of our kindness for personal gain, is it worth helping them? No one wants to buy expensive, poor quality products, even from their relatives.

There can be some limitation on those offers but anyone is free to experiment and check it out if it's more helpful to shop online and they'll save more money instead of going with the nearest trader or merchant in their local area.

If they're doing that then that's much better because you're helping them and at the same time, you're getting services that's near you and soon who knows if they'll give discounts or slash to their margin to their known loyal customers.

Just a hype from people's online shopping behavior as @rat03gopoh said and I agree with your statement above, looking at the style of people used to shop, those who could afford it and made sense spent and were wiser in making choices. Indeed, nowadays there are many varieties and all are available according to the level of need... Yes. It's best to avoid debt and that's better and doesn't add to the burden on we mind later.

Large online marketplaces typically collaborate with fintech companies to introduce the "pay later" feature. The party usually assuming the debt is the fintech provider, not the marketplace operator.

If small retailers in our area could embrace more advanced technologies, such as cashless payments, I believe access to pay-later options would become readily available as well. Store owners would receive full payments, while the partnering fintech entity would handle the consumer's debt.

Alternatively, I could offer some suggestions to small shop owners in our area to align with the prevalent convenience culture. For instance, offering fast doorstep delivery options could be another mutually beneficial alternative. Through such a mechanism, small shop owners would receive immediate full payment and could utilize the funds to replenish their stock.

Play later must be used very wisely, this is indeed a very interesting feature if used wisely. However, if we use it carelessly, on the contrary, without us realizing it, we will enter a vicious circle. Because in my opinion this is a problem of debts and receivables, only now the language is getting cooler, first debt, credit, installments, now pay later. It is not impossible that the aim of the online shop platform is to target lower class people in rural areas, so that they are in debt and taught to be consumptive. My advice, if you can pay in cash, avoid debt. If you can't afford it, just postpone it.

I agree with you on this, about the buy now pay later feature that they offer. Of course for some users it is a convenience that they take advantage of even though they still have to pay at the end.
But on the other hand, this also creates problems if users are not good at managing their finances, then this feature will create difficulties for them. Yes, I have several neighbors who end up having difficulty paying bills from this pay later feature, he cannot manage his purchases that use pay later, so at the end of the month the bill becomes bloated due to using it too often without good control.

It's the effect of technological advancement which is why every business needs to innovate if they want to stay competitive. The pandemic also created a trend where many people prefer the easiest way like avoiding heading to crowded places like markets and grocery stores. Since the pandemic, I myself learned to adapt to paying all my bills online instead of heading to credited stores that can earn small fees. I also learned to do online shopping for my regular stuff. The only time I need to buy and leave home personally are rice, meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits.
