Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy for other people for a special occasion It

is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping themselves at their ownconvenience Shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy lifestyle People are able toorder their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their own home, or even on the move Delivery

Shopping Online

Lots of people enjoy the benefits of online shopping You don’t have to sit in traffic jams or wait at bus stops or at train stations Because online stores are open 24 hours, seven days a week, you can sit at your computer and shop at your leisure And you don’t have to collect your product because they deliver it right

to your door

But shopping online isn’t all great - you need to be very careful when deciding what to buy and where to buy it Here are some tips for shopping safely online

Use a secure connection

information

Use a secure payment method

Only shop on sites that offer secure payment methods, like credit cards and other payment systems This gives you protection in a situation where you and the shop disagree - the shop can’t say you did anything illegal, like using another person’s credit card to pay Banks usually contact you if they think something is wrong

Create a strong password

A strong password is very important It’s usually a good idea to change your passwords every few months, just in case someone finds out what they are Also, try to use a different password for different online shopping sites: once someone guesses one password, they can get access to everything you do online
