Internet retail has been largely for people who pay with credit or debit cards. Few, if any, websites offer “cash on delivery” options which were common with late-night TV product offers in the 1980s and few offer any option to pay with cash aside from buying a gift card.
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has been a major exception. The online leader launched Amazon Cash a little over a year ago, a program that allowed people to add cash to their Amazon account via depositing it through partner brick-and-mortar retail chains.
