More Filipino consumers are beginning to use their mobile devices to
pay for their own purchases whether they are physically bought or via online
shopping sites, which is where companies are exerting their efforts to embrace the
new innovations and cope in consumers' modern demands. It looks like the trend would
continue with The SM Store's newly-forged partnership with the Philippines'
premiere digital payment services provider Paymaya.
Through the recently sealed deal, customers can now pay for their purchases
in any SM Store without the need to bring cash on hand. In fact, all SM Store
branches nationwide will make use of Paymaya's Scan-to-Pay technology where customers
can use their mobile devices to scan QR codes on designated zones to make the
cashless transaction.
Shoppers may need to download and install the Paymaya mobile app on their
smartphones, sign up for an account, cash-in on any of Paymaya's partners, scan
the special QR code situated in The SM Store's designated Mobile Pay zone after
making the purchase, and you're done. As an added bonus, shoppers who are
taking advantage of Paymaya's Scan-to-Pay QR payments system will receive a 10%
discount on all purchases in The SM Store until April 18, 2018. Furthermore, they
may have a chance to win an Apple iPhone X.
