As social distancing measures and enforced quarantines come into play as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, cashless transactions have become more relevant and useful than ever before.
With the fear that physical currency can potentially be a virus transmission vector, sellers and buyers all over the world is now benefiting from the spread of digital payment systems which are more easy, fast and secure. In the Philippines, payment terminals that allow contactless payments are readily available, and easy to access. You can easily spot one in restaurants, fast food stores, supermarket and even in convenient stores.
Speaking of convenient stores, did you know that GCash‘s fast and practical cashless and barcoding payment system is now available on our “paboritong kapitbahay” 7-Eleven?
Yes! Due to the growing demand for frictionless transactions, mobile wallet GCash and convenience store chain 7-Eleven have teamed up to introduce a new digital payment option, allowing GCash account holders to cash-in and pay their bills and even pay for their purchases in 7-Eleven stores via the revolutionary Scan-to-Pay (STP) via Barcode feature in the GCash app.
This provides greater convenience and security to their customers by introducing the new payment option for physical purchases in 7-Eleven stores across the country.
Here’s how:
- Open the GCash App and input MPIN.
- Tap on ‘Cash-In’.
- Select ‘7-Eleven Barcode’.
- Enter amount.
- Generate barcode.
- Ask the cashier to scan the barcode.
- Pay the amount to the cashier.
- 7-Eleven cashier will issue receipt.
These easy steps streamline the already-frictionless QR code system. With STP via Barcode, 7-Eleven does not need to have a QR key code, which the customer scans to transact. The convenient store also needs not have its own mobile device to verify the payments, as STP via Barcode is already integrated into the merchant’s point-of-sale.
You can also go cashless when you pay for your Big Bite, Gulp, and your other favorite 7-Eleven treats with GCash Barcode. Just Generate Code on the GCash App and have the cashier scan it to pay for your items without handing in actual cash.
