印度的低收入商人通过临时商店和手推车开展业务,他们越来越多地使用数字支付系统进行业务运营。尽管这些商家是数字支付生态系统的关键利益相关者,但他们尚未受到研究界的关注。我们提出了一项定性研究,包括对24个低收入商家和10个代理商的观察和采访,探讨了商家在采用和使用数字支付时遇到的漏洞。使用的概念作为一个透镜的脆弱性,我们展示了商家和代理商之间的社会技术互动有助于至少四种不同类型的漏洞:访问为基础的,基于身份的,金融和信息的漏洞。我们讨论了代理商、客户和欺诈者如何利用商家的漏洞实施不同类型的欺诈,从而对商家造成严重伤害。我们展示了商家如何制定策略来打击欺诈,这会给商家带来更多的工作和额外的负担。我们的研究提出了一个脆弱性的循环模型,暴露了商家所经历的脆弱性、欺诈和伤害的累积影响。最后,我们为数字支付公司提供了实用的建议,以打破这种循环,更好地为低收入商户服务。
Low-income merchants in India, who conduct business via makeshift shops and handcarts, are increasingly using digital payment systems for business operations. Although these merchants are a key stakeholder in digital payment ecosystems, they have not yet received much attention from the research community. We present a qualitative study consisting of observations and interviews with 24 low-income merchants and 10 agents that explores the vulnerabilities merchants experience as they adopt and use digital payments. Using the notion of vulnerability as a lens, we show how socio-technical interactions between merchants and agents contribute to at least four different types of vulnerabilities: access-based, identity-based, financial, and informational vulnerabilities. We discuss how agents, customers, and fraudsters take advantage of merchants’ vulnerabilities to commit different types of fraud that lead to serious harm for merchants. We show how merchants developed strategies to combat fraud that lead to more work and extra burdens for merchants. Our research suggests a cyclic model of vulnerability that exposes the cumulative effects of vulnerabilities, frauds, and harms experienced by merchants. We end by providing practical recommendations for digital payment companies to break this cycle and better serve low-income merchants.
