Top POS and e-commerce payment methods for small-ticket items in North America 2022
Consumers from North America preferred debit cards for small-ticket in-person purchases, while credit cards were especially popular in online shopping. This is according to a consumer survey held in August and September 2022, that asked consumers in 13 countries worldwide about their payment preferences. The source does not clarify how many and which of these countries come from North America. There is also no indication of how big a small-ticket purchase exactly is. Nevertheless, the source adds that the preference of cash and debit cards in North America for low-cost shopping is largely in line with the rest of the world. Credit cards being more popular for online small-ticket shopping than debit cards is different from Europe, where the situation was reversed.
