Shopee Continues Push to Make E-Commerce for Everyone

MANILA, MARCH 18, 2022 – Shopee always aims to give users a seamless digital experience. Since its launch, Shopee has been known for hosting some of the biggest e-commerce campaigns, and the recent 3.15 Consumer Day was no exception. It marked Shopee’s first mega sale of the year, providing consumers with the best deals, exciting initiatives, and an overall fun and rewarding online shopping experience. 3.15 Consumer Day is also part of the company’s commitment to make e-commerce for everyone, similar to other initiatives that enable consumers and businesses to experience e-commerce to the fullest.

Making shopping more fun and accessible for all

Shopee has become a go-to for safe and convenient online shopping. The platform continues to create a more inclusive and convenient digital environment where both shoppers and sellers can find enjoyment and success. Last 3.15, Shopee celebrated its very first Consumer Day Sale where more Filipinos were able to avail of exclusive discounts and deals. Across the region, Shopee concluded a successful first mega sale of the year, with 5 times more items bought in the first 2 hours of March 15 and 36 million vouchers claimed per hour.  

3.15 was not only a day for shopping, but a day for fun and rewards as well with Shopee’s in-app games. Shopee Pets was launched in time for 3.15 Consumer Day as the latest addition to its growing list of in-app games that includes Pera Panalo, Shopee Candy, Shopee Farm, Shopee Bubble, and Shopee Claw. During the 3.15 campaign, Shopee Prizes saw more than 27 million game plays in the Philippines.

Shopee Live, another in-app innovation, fosters a shared experience as it allows users to interact with sellers directly through a livestream session. Users had the opportunity to join Marian Rivera, Shopee’s newest brand ambassador, as they welcomed the 3.15 Consumer Day with a live countdown on March 14. A total of 65 million Shopee Live views were recorded during the 3.15 Consumer Day Sale across the Philippines. 

More than games and sales, Shopee also invites its consumers to make a positive impact through various initiatives and campaigns targeted towards helping the underserved. Support Local initiatives such as #TatakPinoy Trade Fairs continue to provide support for MSMEs and community-owned businesses. 

Providing easier access to safe and reliable digital payments

ShopeePay, Shopee’s integrated mobile wallet, was also launched in 2019 to provide users with a safe and secure cashless payment experience. ShopeePay makes financial services more accessible by allowing users to make online purchases, buy load, pay bills via the Shopee app, and even send money for free to any bank account or Shopee user.

ShopeePay has partnered with thousands of merchants nationwide to make digital payments more accessible. Among these merchants that benefited from the adoption of digital payments  are Buddy’s, a restaurant chain serving Filipino dishes, and Jetti Petroleum, a Filipino-owned company with over a hundred gas stations.  Both brands have boosted their businesses with ShopeePay Near Me, Shopee’s location-based online-to-offline feature that allows users to discover merchants near them and enjoy attractive deals.

Claudia Ysabelle Veluz, Buddy’s Jr. Operations Manager, says, “At Buddy’s, we continuously adapt to technological advancements in the industry. We were able to meet the demands of our regular customers and attract new customers by offering ShopeePay as a mode of payment. This made the  payment experience more convenient and seamless for them.”  

Alluding to the rise in cashless transactions, Precious Que, Jetti Petroleum Brand Loyalty Officer states, “Since Jetti has no major cashless transaction system in the pipeline, we partnered with ShopeePay to give our consumers the convenience and speed of payment when gassing up. ShopeePay has a huge impact in the business in terms of attracting more customers and increasing overall sales.” 

Uplifting the community with the power of technology

Apart from celebrating consumers through campaigns, Shopee uses technology to make a difference and empowers users to do the same. Users can donate to various causes via partner charities on-boarded or purchase donation vouchers directly from these charitable organizations, through Shopee Bayanihan, its umbrella CSR program. Furthermore, they can also donate to ShopeePay partner foundations by scanning the QR code of their chosen organization found on the Shopee app and entering the amount.

Shopee Philippines Director Martin Yu highlights,  “Shopee will continue to host campaigns like the 3.15 Consumer Day that create more engaging e-commerce experiences that bring our customers and sellers together and connect even more people to the digital economy. We are committed to utilizing our platform in building an inclusive and safe digital environment and in serving our stakeholders with the best promotions, app features and initiatives.”

Bakit Unknown sa Birth Certificate ang Pangalan ng Tatay mo?

Bago ako naging Misis, isa po akong Single Mother. Dahil may nabasa ako na nagtatanong sa isang group ng mga Nanay na ano daw mas maganda gawin, ipa-apelyido po ba ito sa Ama ng bata or sa Nanay na apilyedo ang dadalhin. Heto po ang opinyon ko base na din sa experience ko. Ang dalawa ko pong anak ay naka-apilyedo sa akin. UNKNOWN ang nakalagay sa details ng Father sa Birth Certificate ng mga anak ko. Ang panganay ko kasi, nghiwalay na kami ng tatay niya bago ko pa siya ipinanganak at alam ko na hindi talaga kami mgkakabalikan pa at wala din siya sa panahong nanganak ako. Kailangan andun kasi ang Tatay para ma acknowledge niya ang bata at makapirma siya dahil hindi naman kami ikinasal. Sa pangalawang baby ko naman, napagdesisyonan namin ng Ama niya na hindi siya ilagay sa birth certificate sapagkat hindi pa tapos ang annulment niya that time at ayaw din namin ng gulo. At sa kasamaang palad ngkahiwalay din kami noong 9 months old pa lang si Baby Girl kasi nagloko po siya. Hindi ko po pinagsisihan na UNKNOWN ang mga ama ng mga bata sa birth certificate nila kasi mas madali ang naging adoption namin ng husband ko sa mga bata. Yes, ng pinakasalan po ako ng asawa ko, sinabi niya sa akin na ibibigay niya hindi lang ang kanyang pagmamahal kundi pati ang kanyang apilyedo sa mga anak ko. Mas naging madali ang proseso kasi hindi na namin kailangan mgpaalam sa ama ng mga bata para mailipat ang apilyedo nila sa asawa ko. Kung isa kang single mother, hindi pa kayo kasal sa ama ng anak mo, pwede pong apilyedo mo muna ang dadalhin ng anak mo. Kasi kung sakali mang magkatuloyan kayo, madali lang ang pag papalipat ng apilyedo ng bata mula sa apilyedo mo papunta sa apilyedo ng totoong tatay nila. Ang kailangan niyo lang gawin ay pumunta sa munisipyo kung saan naka rehistro ang bata at i-acknowledge niya ito. Kailngan din yata mgpa notaryo sa abogado pero mas madali lang siya kaysa ilipat pabalik sa apilyedo ng nanay ng bata kung naka apilyedo na ito sa tatay niya. Isa din po pala sa advantage kung naka-apilyedo sayo ang anak mo, kung gusto mong magbakasyon sa ibang bansa o mag abroad sa ibang bansa pwede mong dalhin ang anak mo ng hindi na magpapaalam sa tatay niya. Lahat ng desisyon na gagawin mo para sa anak mo ay ikaw lang ang gagawa at wala ka nang pagpapa-alaman pa.

3.15 Consumer Day in the Philippines 

In the Philippines, more shoppers were able to discover the joy of online shopping with Shopee. In particular, 3.15 Consumer Day gave users the chance to show themselves and others around them some appreciation.

Joanna Villanueva, 27, Fashion Designer, said, “This 3.15, I bought some necessities–contact lenses, socks, and an iPhone cable. I usually buy these things from Shopee because there are promos and discounts within the app so my savings are significant.

When the pandemic hit, I had a hard time going out and the shops I usually bought supplies from for my work closed down temporarily, but through Shopee, I was able to buy sewing materials. When I was moving into an unfurnished condo during lockdown, I bought most of my furniture and appliances from Shopee too! Electronics, accessories, skincare products, pet supplies, clothes—you name it, I’ve bought it from Shopee.”

Maricris Lorenzo, 35, Entrepreneur, said, “During 3.15, I bought home and self-care items — indoor pots, plant labels, shampoo, make-up brush set and load. For all these and pretty much anything I need, Shopee is my go to app since I can easily find items and order conveniently. I always wait for the sales to enjoy discounts, vouchers, and coins cashback that make my shopping spree wallet-friendly.

As a business woman and a hands-on mother, I am really happy to be able to do so much on Shopee. Paying our bills, buying business and home essentials, relaxing with the occasional retail therapy, and exploring the countless features of the app have brought me such joy and relief especially in the last two years.”
