GIFT YOUR BUSINESS THE BEST PAYMENT SOLUTION THIS CHRISTMAS
In the Philippines, Christmas is celebrated during “ber” months— those are September, October, November, and December, which continues until January 6 in light of the Feast of the Three Kings. Holding the record as “world’s longest Christmas celebration”, these merriment season holidays come at a cost— from splurging gifts to purchasing groceries for Noche Buena, Filipinos tend to overspend which sometimes go beyond the yearly bonuses and 13th month pay. Christmas sales spike for businesses wherein e-commerce online shopping platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and Tiktok Shop also become increasingly significant. Hence, digital payment gateways such as PesoPay highly contribute to the operations of e-commerce businesses during this peak in terms of:
