Subsequently, they were willing to trial and adopt FRPT.<\/p>\n<p>Our research participants gained knowledge in multiple ways, including general internet sources, news websites, social media and the retailer itself.<\/p>\n<p>Convenience factors, such as assured fast payments, ease of use and time saving enhanced participants\u2019 competence. As one said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Yeah, I can see that if [FRPT] does encompass everything, that it probably would be more convenient, and as long as it works first time it would probably be quicker as well.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The brand name, reputation, customer care and regular engagement with the retailer influenced greater levels of trust for shoppers. This in turn affected their FRPT trial intentions. Another told us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I trust Woolworths more, compared to [\u2026] a small shop or not a national brand. Because I believe Woolworths will keep their image, they are going to take care of the customer data and their image.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, promotional rewards such as incentives, discounts or gifts for using FRPT enhanced autonomy and encouraged trialling intention.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe title=\"China blazes trail in facial recognition payment systems\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rs2CuBC0vWw\" width=\"846\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Four barriers to adoption<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Shoppers were less willing to trial and adopt FRPT if they were not familiar with the retailer, were satisfied with existing payment methods, perceived a lack of assistance, and were concerned about overspending.<\/p>\n<p>When shoppers were unfamiliar with a retailer or brand, they are more sceptical and unsure about FRPT. As one person told us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>If you never heard of it, then you might be a bit sceptical as a whole. [If] I haven\u2019t really heard of this retailer, I haven\u2019t really heard of this system [\u2026] what is your purpose for this new technology?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Shoppers were found to have preferred payment methods and these were found to reduce their FRPT adoption due to a reduced sense of autonomy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I don\u2019t think I\u2019d use it. I think I\u2019d still just like tap my card, or maybe if I had set up my phone properly do it that way.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Physical stores were the most preferred location to trial FRPT, as opposed to online. Within a physical environment, potential users of FRPT could seek support from employees. As one research participant explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I definitely think try in a shop first [\u2026] I just think if something goes wrong, there is normally someone there that can sort it out.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An interesting finding was the apprehension expressed regarding overspending and compulsive consumption. As one participant explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>FRPT could be bad because then I\u2019ve got no way of saying \u201cI don\u2019t have money on me\u201d. That is when you always have an open purse [\u2026] Yeah, sadly facial recognition is always there.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Privacy and security were a double-edged sword. Some shoppers were willing to adopt if privacy and security were assured. Others were concerned about facial image storage and data breaches. As one said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I think, compared to a credit card or cash, [FRPT is] absolutely more secure [\u2026] Scammers would have to know a lot more about me to fake my face.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While another said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I do not think I would use it at all. You probably wouldn\u2019t hear if a supermarket got hacked into and all the data leaked, so and that\u2019s out of your control [\u2026] I probably wouldn\u2019t trust it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>Calming consumer concerns<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Retailers still have a long way to go to convince consumers to make transactions by scanning their faces. Our new research offers some directions forward.<\/p>\n<p>Considering consumers\u2019 concerns about technologies such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/detecting-deepfakes-by-looking-closely-reveals-a-way-to-protect-against-them-119218\">deepfakes<\/a>\u00a0and other uses of biometric data, retailers should communicate their advanced technology or collaborate with reputable FRPT developers.<\/p>\n<p>Retailers who want to use FRPT need to implement in-store signage, point-of-purchase graphics and on-screen videos to communicate the benefits of FRPT. They should also focus on articulating the convenience elements of FRPT, as well as the security and privacy protocols.<\/p>\n<p>Once they are trialling the technology, retailers will need to deploy extra staff to assist customers, and offer promotional incentives, possibly tied to loyalty programs.<\/p>\n<p>An \u201calert limit\u201d \u2013 in the same way credit card providers limit \u201ctap and go\u201d payment over a certain value \u2013 might help mitigate overspending risks.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Gary Mortimer is Professor of Marketing and Consumer Behaviour, Byron W.
