As the holiday season kicks into full gear, businesses – both big and small – are gearing up for the busiest time of the year. Shoppers are racing to complete their Christmas lists, and the last thing anyone wants is delays at checkout. In the chaos of crowded stores and fast-paced transactions, it’s more important than ever that businesses are able to offer smooth and hassle-free payments to ensure their operations keep running seamlessly.
GCash for Business has taken a step towards simplifying digital payments this season with the introduction of SoundPay, a new payment confirmation solution designed to make transactions convenient and stress-free for MSMEs.
Through SoundPay, sellers receive an immediate, audible alert with each successful payment. This allows them to check transactions in real time without interrupting the entire service flow, unlike the old manual method where they had to go through several steps to check if a payment had been received on their end.

As customers no longer have to show their receipts or payment confirmations on their smartphones after making a GCash payment, SoundPay ensures data protection and speeds up the checkout process at the same time.

With hundreds of merchants ranging from retail start-ups to food stalls, the system has now made checkouts even more efficient. Long queues and manual payment issues are now a thing of the past, as merchants enjoy faster, more versatile payment collection through SoundPay.
For Mykee Jimenez of Specc Studios, this kind of ease that SoundPay offers is a big relief especially during the events they join. “We used to have a printout of the personal QR code [for GCash payments], and sometimes it didn’t work. With SoundPay, everything is easy!”

SoundPay isn’t just about convenience—it’s also about elevating security. Merchants no longer need to worry about fake or altered GCash receipts. Each transaction comes with an audible alert that they can replay as needed. This eliminates the hassle of manually verifying payments, freeing up time and reducing the risk of scams.
Geoffrey Yusooncho from Harmony and Wellness Enterprises is also impressed by the added security that it provides. He shares, “[After using SoundPay, I’m] amazed because it tells you if it receives the payment, tells you the amount and makes sure you’re already paid.”
Simple Setup, Huge Benefits
Perfect for various business setups, SoundPay is versatile. Business owners can use it as a display for their store counter or as a mobile lanyard worn by their team at pop-ups and bazaars.
