Can I pay my suppliers using GCash or Maya?
You can use GCash or Maya to pay your suppliers by getting a physical card that you can order right inside each respective app. Follow GCash or Maya’s instructions on activating and linking your card to your e-wallet. Always remember that it should have a Visa or Mastercard logo on it for online transactions.
How come the subscription is so cheap? Is there a catch?
There is no catch. We understand that individuals interested in this business model often lack the capital required for traditional inventory purchasing and storage. Therefore, we have designed our entry costs to be highly affordable. We accomplished this by creating streamlined software that focuses solely on essential tools for store operations, eliminating unnecessary features that do not contribute to your success.
Why don’t you offer a monthly subscription?
Because we are committed to your success. Research indicates that, on average, online stores using this business model achieve success within approximately 2 to 3 months. In our specific case, the timeline extends to around 5 to 6 months. This slight delay is primarily due to many of our subscribers being new to online selling. However, this does not imply that they have not made any sales or generated profit during this period. Rather, it suggests that it typically takes 5 to 6 months for them to reach a level of satisfaction with their earnings.
