With over 117 million people, the Philippines is one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing eCommerce markets. The country primarily uses the Philippine Peso (PHP), and Filipino and English are widely spoken. Shopify merchants who tap into this market can access millions of potential customers—but only if they offer the right payment options.
Why Target the Philippines’ eCommerce Market?
Filipino shoppers prefer local payment methods such as mobile wallets, bank transfers, and over-the-counter payments, over international credit cards. Popular payment gateways like GCash, Maya (formerly PayMaya), Dragonpay, Coins.ph, and 7-Eleven CLIQQ dominate online transactions. By integrating these local payment options, businesses can boost conversion rates. With CartDNA’s Shopify payment solutions, merchants from outside the Philippines can start selling to this market without needing a physical presence.
Key Benefits of Local Payment Methods for Shopify Merchants
- Higher Conversion Rates – Filipino customers trust local payment methods, reducing cart abandonment.
- Faster Transactions – Seamless checkout experiences improve customer satisfaction.
- Market Expansion – Reach millions of shoppers who avoid foreign payment gateways.
- Better Customer Trust – Local payments signal legitimacy and reliability.
- Increased Mobile Sales – Mobile wallets like GCash and Maya are widely used in the Philippines.
- Easy Integration with CartDNA – Start accepting local payments without a Philippine business registration.
