The study conducted by the market research firm Agile Data Solutions showed that trust and savings are the main factors that influence the online shopping behavior of Filipino consumers.Of the random sample of 300 respondents across the country, 71% said they prefer COD as their primary payment method as they lack trust in the products to be delivered. Only 14% chose payment centers or e-wallets, with 6.5% and 6% using ShopeePay and Lazada wallet, respectively. In a statement, Agile Data Solutions founder and chairman Jason Gaguan noted that COD payments give online shoppers a sense of security as they can withhold payment until they receive and inspect the item. He added that counterfeit or damaged products and fake sellers contribute to consumer distrust. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/10/14/20/how-online-shopping-behavior-of-filipinos-changed-during-pandemic">How online shopping behavior of Filipinos changed during pandemic</a></li></ul>According to the survey, 28% of respondents consider product authenticity as their biggest concern when shopping online, followed by safety of packaging (17%) and delivery time (15%).It also showed that more shoppers are relying on product reviews when deciding on an online purchase.
