QR payments have made the café scene more efficient. Coffee lovers are always in a rush, and the whole process of scanning QR codes versus actual cash or card payments have shortened the transaction process.
Candid Coffee Operations Manager Julia Cruz swears by the convenience of QR code payments via e-wallets like Starpay. “We are so happy that more that customers are opting for cashless payments. I can say at least 70% of QR payments are done via e-wallets, this is very convenient for us,” she said.
Candid Coffee started out selling hand-roasted coffee at the Sidcor Sunday Market in Quezon City. “Our founder Lanz (Castillo) wanted to serve coffee, in a fun way. The whole idea of roast coffee, can be overwhelming at times, he wanted to share his love for coffee in a fun way” she said.
Candid Coffee has outlets in Santol, Culiat Town Center, V Mall Greenhills, Shangrila Mandaluyong, Malugay Makati and BGC all enjoying the convenience of cashless payments. “Aside from the quick transaction, on the operations side, everything is automated so, you do not need to cross check .You immediately see the movement of the items,” she said.
E-wallets like Starpay simplifies the purchasing process not only for consumers but also for merchants and store partners. Starpay merchants utilize the RCV (Real-time Collection and Validation) platform which allows collection from multiple e-wallets and digital banking platforms. Transactions can be viewed, filtered, and exported. Merchants can also assign specific roles to team members to effectively manage business operations.
Merchants also have access to SEND (Secure Electronic Networked Disbursement) which allows for systemized disbursements to both Starpay and non-Starpay users. The system is ideal for regulatory disbursements, salaries for field employees, cash allowances for individuals, and even financial assistance.
For those organizing events, Starpay also has a QR Ticket system for easy ticket disbursement and payment. QR Tickets are generated via the RCV System which organizers can upload in the event website and once the attendees pay, the RCV will confirm and display payment.
Ryan Uy, Starpay Head of Growth and Marketing, looks forward to forging partnership with business owners. “We are all part of this interesting ecosystem, and we are just as excited to grow with our merchants and partners as they digitize transactions and simplify their business processes.” Starpay is an Electronic Money Issuer (EMI) licensed and regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
