Background of the Study
Digital payment systems have revolutionized retail transactions by providing customers with convenient, secure, and efficient payment options. In Kano State, supermarkets are increasingly adopting these systems to improve customer experience and streamline their payment processes. The integration of digital payment options such as mobile money, card payments, and online wallets offers significant advantages for both retailers and customers, including faster checkout, reduced human error, and enhanced financial tracking (Suleiman et al., 2024).
Customer retention is a key goal for supermarkets, as it is more cost-effective to retain existing customers than to attract new ones. Digital payment systems can play a crucial role in enhancing customer loyalty by offering convenience, rewards programs, and personalized experiences. Additionally, digital payments provide retailers with valuable data on customer spending patterns, which can be used to improve marketing strategies and inventory management. However, despite these benefits, the impact of digital payment systems on customer retention in supermarkets in Kano State has not been sufficiently explored, especially in the context of local consumer behaviors and preferences.
This study will examine the impact of digital payment systems on customer retention in supermarkets in Kano State, exploring how these systems affect customer loyalty, satisfaction, and shopping frequency. By understanding the role of digital payments in customer retention, the study aims to provide practical insights for supermarkets looking to enhance customer loyalty through digital payment options.
