O2O Problems O2O domestic market is still in its infancy, but its development is still facing many problems. First of all, the service of the local merchant's is low-level while high degree of information is not going to be a longterm constraint, leading online, offline and collaboration between users tremendous cost. Network Awareness offline merchants significantly enhanced service life. O2O drives industry development and on -line business, but the real need for the line under the floor is strong with enterprise Second, line merchant service under the local level varies. China's local service businesses are across all areas of life, but few of them are state-owned. Most local businesses are self-employed nature of life services. Lack of industry standards which cause poor service under the local line business service levels.

In China, most local businesses have not yet achieved the basic information, many businesses even basic UnionPay POS machines are not supported. Finally, a huge variable in local service businesses is that the overall information is embeded in very complicated business. Internet companies often choose the easy way out of the way. There is a disconnection between O2O development of online and offline Internet companies.
