Scale Up your business with PayMaya and Shopify
Running a small business during the pandemic is no easy task, but thanks to reliable e-Commerce platforms and secure digital payment providers, many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were able to adapt by quickly bringing their businesses online.
To encourage and reward more entrepreneurs to grow and scale their business online, PayMaya, together with Shopify and PLDT Home Biz, have launched the Scale Up promo, which will run until March 31, 2022. Visit https://www.paymaya.com/scaleup for more details about the promo.
With an online shop, SMEs were able to continuously operate and cater to their customers. Add to that the convenience and safety that online transactions bring both for their employees and customers.
To encourage and reward more entrepreneurs to grow and scale their business online, PayMaya, together with Shopify and PLDT Home Biz, have launched the Scale Up promo, offering attractive prizes to participating merchants.
From November 8, 2021 to March 31, 2022, merchants who will qualify stand to win cash prizes of up to Php200,000 and a subscription package from PLDT Home Biz.
