Discussion on payment process

Has been very strange point is: similar group purchase and other models have been getting more and more hot, about group buying behavior analysis articles are also many.

But when I search online on the purchase site payment process and other related articles, unexpectedly no similar article, not to myself to study a bit, thus writing about the purchase payment process of this article.

I have not done the relevant payment process, and do not confirm the practice of each site is consistent, purely to initiate, there is no consideration for the unknown please enlighten.

There are 2 kinds of ways I can think about payment:

1: is to add a concept of hold, that is, when the purchase set a time, in this time as long as you click to Buy, others can not buy in this time period you currently buy. The biggest advantage of this is to avoid a person to work hard to complete the payment process, until finally found that because of their own actions slower than others, so let others buy the embarrassment first. Vulgar point is to enhance the user's purchase experience. For example: http://www.gewara.com/partner/douban/chooseSeat.xhtml?mpid=5409777&fileid=4942776 Guevara made a similar setting in the online ballot (15 minutes).

2: Do not set the concept of hold, because in most cases, the amount of things you sell is basically sufficient. Only when the inventory is nearing the end or when the commodity is unusually hot will there be a chance for a few people to grab a piece of merchandise. So I guess most group buying sites didn't set a hold concept. Because this probability is relatively not very big.

OK. To get to the point, let's look at the payment process for each of these two different ways. is actually 2 charts.

I. Flowchart (relatively simple) that does not require hold payment:

Two. Flow chart with hold payment required (relatively complex):

The above is my analysis, of course, every group buying site I analyzed the use of must not exactly the same payment process. Welcome everyone to pat the bricks, sprinkle the same thanks.
