Background of the Study
Trust in online payment systems is one of the most critical factors influencing the growth of e-commerce. As the digital economy continues to expand, consumers are increasingly relying on online payment methods to complete transactions, yet concerns about security and fraud persist. In Nigeria, e-commerce has grown significantly in recent years, but challenges related to online payment trust remain a significant barrier to widespread adoption (Olumide, 2023). Many consumers are hesitant to make online purchases due to fears about their financial information being compromised.
In Kogi State, online retailers face the challenge of building and maintaining consumer trust in their payment systems. While various secure payment systems have been implemented, the level of consumer trust in these platforms varies. This study aims to explore the role of trust in online payment systems in influencing consumer purchasing decisions and e-commerce sales in Kogi State. By understanding the factors that affect trust, online retailers can implement strategies to increase consumer confidence and boost sales.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growth of e-commerce in Nigeria, many consumers remain skeptical about using online payment systems due to concerns over security and fraud. This lack of trust hinders the growth potential of online retail businesses, especially in Kogi State, where digital payment adoption is still relatively low. The study seeks to investigate how trust in online payment systems affects e-commerce sales and consumer behavior in Kogi State.
