As an added treat, customers can get up to 100% cashback when they pay using their Paymaya registered mobile number upon ordering via chatbot with a minimum spend of Php500. Offering cashless payment options through the Facebook chatbot is literally the next step in the continuing strong partnership between JFC and Paymaya since 2019 which paved the way for the launch of digital payments within the former's food and restaurant brands nationwide.
Soon, JFC will utilize and roll out Paymaya's Digital Invoice solution when ordering online via its various brands' official websites or through their respective hotlines allowing customers to receive an invoice with a payment link via SMS or e-mail so that they can conveniently pay for their orders using either any cash card or their Paymaya accounts. Aside from enabling the acceptance of cashless payments in various JFC brands, Paymaya also partnered with the Jollibee Group Foundation which allows them to receive donations from around the world either via the #OneAgainstCOVID19 campaign website (pymy.co/jollibee) or through the Pay Bills function of the Paymaya app.
