I've blogged about this na before, how GCASH helped me with my online shop. I can't imagine Anagon Collection without Gcash--buyers conveniently send their payments to me through their phones. And then via text message din, kita ko na na I received na their money!
Now here's another innovation from Globe's G-Xchange Inc. (GXI): GLOBE CHARGE. This is the new solution to small businesses and bazaaristas so they (WE!) can now accept MasterCard and Visa (available soon) credit and debit card payments via smartphone or tablets! No need to to apply for a credit card terminal in your bank. More payment options, more customers, more sales!
We were able to try paying via Globe Charge in the Beyond the Box makeshift store during the launch. Super dali lang nya, the process was a breeze!
