OneSTore.ph gets boost

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) has chosen digital financial services leader PayMaya to enable the digital payments acceptance for its OneSTore.ph e-Commerce platform, making PayMaya the digital payment partner of choice by various government agencies and local government units to help deliver better public service to Filipinos.

The partnership brings a significant boost to DOST’s mission for OneSTore. ph to serve as a platform to expand the market of local MSMEs by allowing sellers on the site to be able to easily accept payments via any Visa, Mastercard, and JCB credit, debit, and prepaid card as well as PayMaya e-wallet via their mobile number through the cutting-edge PayMaya Checkout payment gateway.

“MSMEs are the lifeblood of the country and power the economy, which is why it is imperative to help them succeed. With the OneSTore.ph platform, we helped them expand their market online which reaches virtually every corner of the country. And now that we have digital payments acceptance from PayMaya, the online shopping experience on the platform just got even more convenient,” said DOST Secretary Fortunato dela Peña.

Envisioned as a platform to help local MSMEs grow their business by expanding their market online, OneSTore.ph was launched in 2017 to help promote the use of the platform in connection with its Small Enterprises Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP).

Through PayMaya Checkout, businesses of all sizes can easily accept payments via card and other emerging payment options such as PayMaya, which only requires the customer to input their mobile number in order to pay for purchases online.

“The benefits of digital should be felt by all, not just by large enterprises or big-named merchants, which is why we have designed our platforms, particularly PayMaya Checkout, to be able to scale and adapt to the needs of all businesses, no matter the size or location,” said PayMaya CEO and Founder Orlando B.
