I found the hashtag #hoverfinger being quite a topic on social media so I got curious on what it actually was. Turns out, #hoverfinger was referring to a syndrome of people who fear to shop online.

Being an online shop owner myself, I do feel the need to have a say on this topic. To start off, I’m basically an online person heheheh. Since I started blogging, I became very comfortable with doing things online. Not just browsing per se, but actually “doing” things. Like doing research, doing business, shopping, brainstorming, getting mentored (yes, I have an online mentor for my business), and making things happen globally. The internet is a great thing. As long as we are smart and wise enough to use it sensibly. 

On online shopping, I’ve been getting some feedback that some customers still feel uncomfortable with making transactions online – especially using credit or debit card – with the fear that someone might steal their identity and swipe it off some other place, which may cause them canceling the transaction just before the payment. I can assure you though, that both my online shops – Up and Pop Flats are safe for such transactions, especially that both of them have been Verified by Visa.

There are steps in making your credit card payment, making sure that things are safe and that your card number can only be used by you. And besides, it is so much simpler and faster than making manual payments where you would have to go to the ATM to complete your purchase.

All in all, the comfort is all there but the decision is all yours. Alhamdulillah I’ve been shopping online a LOT and nothing bad has happened. Just make sure that the website your making a transaction from is Verified by Visa. Do drop by my Up and Pop Flats store to give it a try, yes? Hihihi..

Muah! :)
