Abstract : The aim of this study is to identify the factors influencing the adoption of in-store mobile payments. The
development of mobile-phone technology is changing consumer demand and behaviors. Consequently, businesses are
becoming ever more mobile orientated, offering mobile shopping, mobile payments and in-store mobile payments to
consumers. The goals of in-store mobile payments are to i) save consumers time and ii) to facilitate cashless transactions.
Regardless of the fact that businesses offer in-store mobile payments and the convenience thereof, consumers adapt slowly to
this offering. Thus, the research question that emerged is “What are the factors influencing the adoption of in-store mobile
payments?”
The hypotheses of this study examine the relationships between the influencing factors and consumers’ behavioral intention
to use in-store mobile payments. The empirical study implemented a non-probability sample was used, with the sample
comprising of students from the Business Management Department at the University of the Free State who owns a
smartphone, but has no prior experience with in-store mobile payments.
The results of the study indicated that initial trust, self-efficacy, relative advantage and compatibility have a significant
positive influence on the intention to adopt in-store mobile payments. Furthermore, perceived risk was found to have a
significant negative influence on the intention to use mobile payments in-store. The findings of the study provide guidance
for developers and marketers of in-store mobile payments in developing a marketing strategy that would enhance the use of
in-store mobile payments.
