Contactless: pay without anyone touching your things

[zihadhasan012]

The current reality for Latin Americans reflects that 84% of people believe that contactless payments are the best option when consuming in an establishment , as shown in this article from Tyn Magazine.

In fact, in countries with massive use of cash such as Mexico, Colombia or Argentina, governments, financial institutions and even fintechs have implemented digital products and services that promote online payments and prevent money or cards from passing from hand to hand.


An important fact that this article brings, and that must be taken into account, is the one provided by Mastercard where it says that 70% of consumers think that digital payments will be permanent for the future .

Now, it's one thing to think that it's more hygienic and another to put it into practice, especially knowing how we behave in our countries. Therefore, discover how the use of this technology has been growing, starting with the adoption of local payment methods such as the one we will see now.

Amazon and Oxxo omnichannel payments
If you live in Mexico, you most likely have an Oxxo nearby right now. Amazon has seen this and has implemented an omnichannel payment system in the more than 19,000 available stores , meaning you can order through Amazon and pay in cash directly at the Oxxo .

This is a very common problem faced by e-commerce businesses in Mexico , since the use of physical money is massive and normalized. This has made life difficult for more than one digital entrepreneur .

The news came in September of this year, and the only thing you will need —besides the money— is to place your order on Amazon Mexico and bring a barcode on your cell phone to the nearest Oxxo to be able to order your things online easily and without complications without the need for credit or debit cards.


In fact, you do not need to have a balance oman phone number list in your Amazon account, and you will be able to make the payment within 48 hours and you will only have to pay an extra MXN $12 pesos, the same as they charge on each invoice.

Cool, right?

Furthermore, this new feature is well-matched with the one that Oxxo already allowed, which was to select a store from that company as a delivery point for Amazon packages.

And, speaking of those people who do not have banking products, but want to access the advantages of these services, e-wallets emerge as a more than efficient option to have digital money, avoiding annoying commissions.
