For many Filipino customers, GCash and Maya are the easiest way to pay. If your website only accepts cards, or makes people message you to pay, you may be losing sales.
Your options
- Payment gateways: services like PayMongo or Xendit let your website accept GCash, Maya and cards at checkout. They connect to WooCommerce and many other platforms.
- Manual payments: show your e-wallet details and ask customers to send proof of payment. It works for small volumes but takes more time to manage.
- Payment links: send a link for each order, useful for services and custom quotes.
What to plan for
- Fees: gateways charge a fee per transaction, so factor it into your pricing.
- Verification: gateways need business documents before you can go live.
- Refunds: know how refunds work for each payment method.
- Order confirmations: make sure customers get an automatic email or message after paying.
Make paying easy
- Show accepted payment logos near the checkout button.
- Keep checkout short: fewer fields, fewer steps.
- Test every payment method on a phone before launch.
For service businesses
If you sell services instead of products, a simple quote, then an invoice with payment options, often works better than a full shop. I accept GCash, Maya and bank transfer for Philippine clients myself.
