Pix has really spurred up small local businesses. It's so much easier to buy digitally from local stores now, or even just a person starting up a business because it required no setup, no fees or anything.

If I need to buy a gift for someone from a store at the mall, for example, I just text them, they send me pictures with the options, I pay instantly via pix and they send the product through local delivery. The whole thing takes 5 minutes of my time and the purchase shows up on my door in 30 minutes. I saved on time, gas and parking, and meanwhile the store made a sale through a local employee instead of me buying online from their national franchise for example (if it's a franchise of course). Win win for everyone.

Do you have numbers showing that causation or at least a correlation?
