Of UK consumers surveyed by Signifyd said COVID-19 inspired them to try new ways of shopping that they are likely to stick with in the future.

We’ll always remember 2020 as the year that transformed ecommerce. Driven by lockdowns and the fear of shopping in stores, online sales skyrocketed. But a better framing might be to think of 2020 as the year that transformed shoppers. In the face of the pandemic, a whole new wave of consumers enthusiastically turned to online shopping.

Those new to online shopping had their own ideas about how to shop. Data from Signifyd’s Commerce Network shows they were different in significant ways from those who came before. They took to mobile faster. They were even more enthusiastic about click-and-collect. They were more likely to buy cross-border, based on 2020’s pre-Brexit data.

This report will delve deeper into how 2020 affected in-store and online shopping as well as how the year redefined customer experience for a new wave of customers.
