With RUSH, businesses can set up their own free GLife eStore

Online presence is more crucial than ever for companies today. However, the lack of available capital is a common barrier to the digital adoption of small and medium businesses (SMEs).

Flash, RUSH’s newest eStore solution, is being made available to a select group of merchants at no monthly subscription cost in an effort to broaden access to eCommerce. This allows them to set up shop on the GCash app’s marketplace, GLife, at no cost, exposing their products to the e-66 wallet’s million users.

“Profitability is the ultimate priority of entrepreneurs, and building an online storefront is sometimes too costly for merchants. We want to solve this pain point with our newest eStore package, giving business owners an end-to-end eCommerce platform at no monthly cost. Now, getting an online storefront is made easier and simpler, with potential for even wider profit margins,” said Jeferson Cruz, RUSH Chief Commercial Officer.

One of the lowest transaction fees on the market is only 10% for merchants using Flash. It’s a sure bet because it increases in value alongside the company.

Flash provides business owners with the resources they need to onboard customers into GLife quickly and effectively, no matter where they are in the buying journey. Within the same app, GLife customers can shop for products, place food and service orders, pay with GCash, and either pick up their orders or have them delivered.

Merchants who sign up for Flash gain access to a customized Content Management System (CMS) that acts as a centralized dashboard from which they can manage the creation of their store, the distribution of promotional codes, the expansion of their customer base, and the maintenance of the overall health of the company.

No functional limitations of the underlying infrastructure are exposed even when using the free tier of the offering. Its usefulness to companies is practically boundless. They have the option of adding as many users to the system as they like, merging all of their locations into a single online storefront, and uploading as many products as they like. Using the RUSH Merchant app, salesfloor staff can process orders, track stock, and schedule deliveries.

RUSH merchants can take full advantage of GCash’s wide and organic social media reach by opening up shop in GLife, where GCash has over 66 million users and is growing rapidly. They can also take part in GLife-only campaigns that provide participating retailers with free ad space on GCash’s most successful in-app ad placements.

“Bringing SMEs online for free on GCash through its GLife marketplace further solidifies our commitment to make eCommerce accessible to every entrepreneur. We are excited to see more and more merchants embrace digital transformation as they future-proof their businesses towards a more sustainable business growth,” said Stephanie Kubota, RUSH Chief Executive Officer.

More than 300 brands serving 5 million customers are powered by RUSH, proving that the platform can help businesses of all sizes thrive in the expanding eCommerce sector without the need to pay for additional platforms or software solutions.
