Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) often find business solutions intimidating, costly, and overly complex. GCash for Business is breaking down these barriers with simple, affordable solutions designed to empower even the smallest enterprises to grow. Its latest offerings, GCash PocketPay and GCash SoundPay, are ushering in the “easy era” of doing business.
GCash PocketPay: Your Smartphone is Now a POS
GCash PocketPay is a game-changing solution that removes the barrier of expensive hardware by allowing MSMEs to accept credit and debit card payments using just their existing Android smartphone.
- Zero Upfront Cost: There are no upfront costs for additional POS hardware; merchants simply download the app and use their phone’s built-in NFC (tap-to-pay) functionality.
- Wider Reach: This expands the business’ capabilities to accept card payments, making them more accessible to a wider customer base.
- Convenient for Mobile Sellers: It’s perfect for pop-up spaces, delivery-based vendors, and online stores, as they get fast settlements and can track transactions through their phones.
- Peace of Mind: The system uses secure NFC taps to confirm digital payments, removing the need for merchants to ask for screenshots or double-check text inboxes for confirmation.
“GCash PocketPay meets them where they are with a solution that’s flexible, reliable, and incredibly easy to use. This is part of our goal to provide simpler and more affordable digital payment solutions that allow them to do more with less,” says Jong Layug, General Manager of B2B of Mynt.
PROMO ALERT: Merchants who sign up on the GCash for Business Portal and download the GCash PocketPay app can enjoy zero transaction fees until December 3, 2025.
GCash SoundPay: Instant Audio Confirmation
For businesses that prefer QR-based payments, GCash for Business also introduces GCash SoundPay. This portable solution accepts QR payments and gives an instant voice confirmation every time a customer pays. Available at flexible rates (and often included free with EasyBiz packages), SoundPay is compact, easy to carry, and ensures transactions are fast and secure without interrupting the service flow.
How to Get Started
MSMEs can find both payment solutions through the GCash for Business Portal.
- Register: Sign up on the GCash for Business Portal using an official company email. (Registration requires a fully verified GCash account for the signatory and business documents like DTI/BIR registration for formal businesses.)
- Activate: Once onboarded, merchants can download the GCash PocketPay by GCash for Business app from Google Play to start accepting card payments immediately, or order their SoundPay device.
