Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, after 20 years of trading goods in traditional way, shopkeepers and petty merchants have begun to sell products online.
Dung, the owner of a grocery in Thanh Cong Market in Hanoi, said: “Buyers now just stay at home and place orders with their smartphones to get products at their home.
Dung shifted to a new online sale method one year ago. Online petty merchants are informed about orders via app and prepare the goods before delivery people come and take them away. Online payment is used for many orders.

As new changes introduced since November at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, which inhibit ride-sharing vehicles from picking up passengers in front of the domestic terminal, has caused major inconvenience to customers, ride-hailing firm Grab proposes a solution where app-based cars pay an extra fee to gain access to a dedicated pick-up lane.
A Grab proposal, which was submitted to the administration body of Tan Son Nhat International Airport at the end of December, suggested a separate lane for all ride-sharing vehicles to pick up and drop off passengers at the terminal gate.
