How is today's tit-bit related to EPayments. Well, on this site, an attempt is being made to attract shoppers to local sellers, with minimal involvement of Physical Cash. The value of the goods/services, is being transferred electronically from the Buyer to the Seller.

Pune, Jan. 1 Chaotic traffic, maddening crowds and inadequate parking are some of the hindrances that take away the joy of shopping. But sitting in the comfort of the home if customers can order from their favourite shops, then shopping can still be fun.
laxmiroad.in, the first online shopping site for Pune customers, has begun its full- fledged operations. Ms Zelam Dixit, co-founder, told Business Line it has about 20 popular shops, ranging from garments, DVDs to books, available on the portal.
The Web site started its beta testing during the Ganapati festival in September and now has 550 registered members.
Ms Dixit said the mode of delivery is through courier with a minimum charge of Rs 25 within and around the city and on weight basis for those outside the city.
To spur interest, the site offered Friday deals — five per cent discount on products, Ms Dixit said.
