Cumulative Number of Credit
Card Issuance in Vietnam
(million)
The number of credit cards
increases every year, and there
are 3.3 million credit cards by the
end of 2014. But this is only 1 in 30
people.
While credit card usage rate is very low,
some businesses offer solutions to
improving online payment process.
Each business has a common strategy:
cooperating with banks and credit card
issuers and implementing online payment
for EC users instead of those banks and
credit card issuers.
Hence, online payment service becomes
better and easier, improves EC`s
convenience and wipes out distrust towards
the use credit cards.
29. About Order Cancellation
More than 30% of people have made cancellation. Although “product failure” is
the biggest reason, this includes cases that a product was different from
consumer`s intention. Also, a quite number of consumers have cancelled their
orders due to their change-of-mind

36. Differences between EC and Facebook Shopping
EC Facebook
Product Wide variety of products and categories. Specialized in one category of products.
Stock is not very good either.
Order Method Online form on EC site. Ordering process
depends on each site.
Manual method via FB Messenger or phone
calling. In a case of FB Messenger, a reply
may late or not even be given.
Customer Support Large-scale customer operation including phone
calling, e-mail and online chatting.
The quality of customer support is variable
due to its small-scale operation. Even the
owner of the shop could give customer
support.
Payment Method Cash on delivery, credit card and bank transfer Cash on delivery or bank transfer. Many FB
shops require bank transfer. Credit card
payment is nearly none.
Order Confirmation SMS and phone calling are often given as a
confirmation after placing an order and before
actual delivery.
Confirmation is entirely dependant on each
FB shop.
Delivery: Staff Large EC sites do their branding through official
uniforms and motorbikes with their own logos.
Most cases are external delivery company or
a part-time delivery staff. Even staffs
themselves could deliver their products.
