A fair share of such payments is taken by mobile UPI payments, internet baking, and card transactions. The usage of credit cards for online shopping, payments, and transactions has only shown steady growth over the years. Statistics show that more than 50% of all credit card payments are done for online purchases, with sizeable shares taken by food delivery companies, clothing and accessories, electronics, movie tickets, and travel.
