MANILA, PHILIPPINES — As the country goes under stricter quarantine restrictions, top supermarkets and convenience stores are ready to provide safer, more hygienic, and convenient digital payment transactions with PayMaya.
Establishments such as Landers, All Day, Mercury Drug, and Rose Pharmacy are providing a seamless shopping experience to their customers on their websites and at physical stores as they utilize PayMaya’s solutions to accept payments from PayMaya e-wallet users as well as other card and e-wallet account holders.
Ministop, Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons EasyMart, Shopwise, The Marketplace, and Southstar Drug are offering safe and convenient contactless payments at their physical store’s counters via PayMaya QR. Meanwhile, grocery chains like Super8, Waltermart, LCC Supermarket, Metro Gaisano, Prince Hypermart, San Roque Supermarket, Ever Supermarket, Merry Mart, and South Emerald, among others, are able to accept both card and QR payments using the PayMaya One device in their stores – streamlining the need for multiple QR displays and devices at their counters.
Popular online stores, including Pick.A.Roo, GoRobinson’s, MetroMart, Pacific Bay, Freshmart, and Deli Drop, among many others, are utilizing PayMaya’s online payment gateway on their websites. With PayMaya Checkout, these brands can accept online payments from a wider customer base, allowing transactions via any credit, debit, or prepaid cards, e-wallets, as well as via PayMaya QR and PayMaya-linked mobile numbers.
