A lot of causes are driving the growth of internet purchases. This is because of the lower prices; people are beginning to utilise the internet to shop. It is less expensive and easier to research products and services online before making a purchase. Also, online cashless transactions allow us to shop from home and have products delivered by courier, saving our time and effort.
