Step 1

The first step is the ability to use a mobile device for financial transactions with communications. There is a possibility exchange the payments of the products through the Internet technology.

At the beginning, a mobile phone was used as a mobile communication with each other. Nowadays this tradition has been changed rapidly. Manufacturers have stretched their technological innovation to the point where cell phones have become a hub for many daily activities, including shopping or regular trading.  Mobile commerce is starting to become a very relevant and important component of retailing. You’ve no doubt noticed news stories popping about merchants launching mobile shopping applications to capitalize on the enormous potential that new smartphones and mobile devices are capable of delivering to consumers.

Mobile shopping is much more than a fad. Motorola recently did a study that revealed more than one-half of worldwide internet users shopped with their mobile phones during the 2009 holiday season. And while Generation Y constituted the largest batch of mobile shoppers in the study, Generation X (50 percent of respondents) and Baby Boomers (33 percent) are also catching on, meaning that m-commerce has evolved into a trusted and useful tool for people of all ages. Separate research showed that m-commerce grew by over 388 percent across the retail industry in 2009. As a retailer, that’s a number that’s hard to ignore.
