ShopeePay and payment gateway HitPay announced a new integration to expand digital payment access for thousands of small and medium enterprises across the Philippines.
The partnership allows ShopeePay users to transact at various online and physical stores nationwide. Participating brands include Jisulife, Aula Philippines, Chiron Activewear, Mad Bombs, Hale Manna and Coastal Gardens. The move connects millions of consumers to HitPay’s merchant network through a unified, secure payment solution.
Through the integration, HitPay merchants can now accept payments via the ShopeePay Wallet, the SPayLater installment service and MariBank Philippines Inc. (A Rural Bank) via linked bank accounts. The collaboration seeks to simplify operations for businesses while providing consumers with more flexible payment methods on a familiar platform.
ShopeePay head of product and marketing Hazel Sumampong said the company remains dedicated to providing Filipinos with secure digital financial services.
“We’re committed to giving Filipinos easy access to fast, secure digital payments. Our integration with HitPay makes transactions more convenient for users and more empowering for businesses,” Sumampong said.
The shift toward digital finance is backed by recent market data showing that mobile wallets now account for over 60 percent of retail e-commerce transaction value in the country. Industry leaders suggest that embedding these wallets into streamlined gateways is essential for merchants to remain competitive.
HitPay chief executive Aditya Haripurkar noted that the timing of the partnership aligns with the rapid adoption of digital tools by local consumers.
“With mobile wallets accounting for over 60 percent of retail e-commerce transaction value in the Philippines, this partnership comes at the right time. By embedding ShopeePay into HitPay, we enable merchants to capture this shift and connect seamlessly with millions of active users,” Haripurkar said.
ShopeePay, which operates across Southeast Asia and Brazil, stated that the integration addresses common challenges in digital transactions by offering a user-friendly interface for both buyers and sellers. By tapping into a broader and more engaged user base, HitPay merchants can streamline their financial operations through a single gateway.
