As recession sweeps the globe companies are doing everything they can to stay afloat, from cutting costs across the board to closing down unproductive ventures and maintaining risk adverse investing patterns. Through all of this many merchants are clinging to their virtual ecommerce stores as their saving grace because the online marketplace appears to be recession proof. While this shift in spending habits may not be a shocker to business minded individuals, Allied Wallet has found that it is “how” they are paying which may catch you by surprise.
