“With so much growth in online shopping worldwide this year, we want to help merchants understand customer attitudes so they can meet the expectations of their ideal customers, whether those are American Baby Boomers, Mexican millennials or Gen Z Australians,” said Rafael Lourenco, ClearSale Executive Vice President.
The study was conducted in early March 2020 and surveyed more than 1,000 frequent online shoppers in each country. The survey asked shoppers for their opinions about online security and data privacy, their concerns about online fraud and where they prefer to shop, among other topics.

The survey also found that consumers worry about fraud but don’t have patience with merchants who reject their orders by mistake.
- 78% of all consumers say they feel as safe or safer shopping online than in stores, even though 42% have been victims of online fraud.
- 39% of all consumers say they’ll never shop again with a merchant that declines their order.
The survey also found differences in consumer behavior between countries. For example:
- 72% of Mexican online shoppers and 60% of Australian online shoppers order from both overseas and in-country merchants, compared to only 37% of U.S. and U.K. shoppers.
- 64% of Mexican shoppers read merchant reviews before making an online purchase, but only 34% of U.K. shoppers do.
- Australian and U.S. shoppers are the most likely to abandon a purchase if asked to create a customer account.
