MANILA - Macoy Infante is now constantly packing parcels from his condo unit as orders for his and his partners' room and linen spray line surged after they signed up to become a Shopee seller late in July.
Based on a July survey by Visa with 1,000 Filipinos, some 75 percent believe it was important for a business to have an online presence, Visa country manager for Philippines and Guam Dan Wolbert told reporters in a virtual briefing. Majority of Filipino respondents or at least 95 percent said they were willing to shop from local retailers more often to help in their business recovery, Visa said. "The pandemic has accelerated the shift to online lifestyle to fulfill their needs and to grow their business. There’s a significant need for retailers and small businesses to shift, move to online and begin accepting digital payments," Wolbert said.
Yu said Shopee has close to 500,000 merchants as of August and that it could grow more with the campaign.
