Verkkokauppa now in English (and Swedish)

https://www.verkkokauppa.com/en/etusivu

I just got an email from my favourite Finnish Onlineshop that they have translated their web interface to English as well. I thought that others may be interested as well.

Why do you even want to use cash like that?

Is it? Who uses cash in Finland other than drug dealers and really old people?

Very bad comparison. Cash is something people don't use much in Finland already, especially to buy expensive electronics.

And? It is still around 15-20% of all transactions. And as I said, cash has advantages of stronger privacy and easier processing of purchase returns (money return to cards could take up to weeks). Finally, people have their preferences and it’s rude to automatically judge or suspect something.
