Drivers and Barriers of Mobile Payment Adoption Among MSMEs: Insights from Indonesia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mobile payment systems have rapidly expanded globally, especially in developing countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Technological advances, public acceptance, and increased adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic drive this growth. Mobile payments involve key stakeholders: technology providers, end-users, government regulators, and merchants, each contributing to the adoption ecosystem. Users prefer mobile payments for their speed and convenience over traditional cash transactions. This study explores the driver and barrier factors influencing mobile payment QR adoption among merchants, particularly from the MSME perspective, using existing frameworks based on previous research adapted to MSME conditions. Conducted in Indonesia with 418 MSME business respondents, this study employs a quantitative, cross-sectional methodology with a 95% confidence level and an SEM analysis. The findings reveal that perceived ease of use does not significantly impact perceived experience, while perceived usefulness does. Perceived risk, convenience, experience, and word-of-mouth learning statistically significantly influence merchants’ intention to use mobile payments. However, customer engagement, cost, trust, and complexity appear less influential. Overall, this research advances understanding of the key factors affecting merchants’ adoption of mobile payment and provides insights relevant to MSME economic growth.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
