Birmingham, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2015 -- Home shopping company, Betterware, have recently commented on the report released by Barclaycard which reveals that over a fifth of card purchases made by Britons is through online spending.
The increase has come thanks to the ease of access to online shopping, with responsive mobile sites being available on mobiles and tablets, meaning people are spending on the move, or while sitting down to relax and watch television.

Users are shopping to spend smaller amounts, on online stores, food takeaways and booking sites, thanks to the increasingly easy ways to get online and shop with mobile devices.
