A one-step form collects name, phone and address.
Confirm by Messenger or phone, book a carrier, track the order.
The same 2026 report puts COD at 11% (down from 15% in 2023), GCash at 38% and cards at 25%. COD is strongest among first-time buyers and outside Metro Manila, where wallets and cards are less widely used.
If your store targets provincial buyers or hesitant first-time customers, a COD option can still lift conversions; for repeat buyers, offer GCash through a payment tool of your own.
Shopee leads with 42% of platform share, followed by Lazada at 28% and TikTok Shop at 15%. J&T Express, Ninja Van, Flash Express and LBC together handle most e-commerce parcels, and J&T is the preferred partner of the big platforms. The country's 7,000 islands raise delivery costs and times outside the main hubs.
Filipino and English are both widely used in ads. SymplysisAI generates in Filipino and English, so test a Taglish-leaning English version against pure Filipino. Check regional slang with a native reader.
SymplysisAI's built-in delivery integrations (28 companies) are Algerian carriers such as Yalidine, Ecotrack and ZR Express, so Philippine orders are handled differently: book J&T, Flash Express, LBC or another carrier yourself and update the order status.
No GCash, no Shopee or TikTok Shop integration, no public API.
Because COD is a small share, a pure-COD store here will be narrower than in Algeria or Pakistan. Use the calculator at /calculator to see if your delivery and confirmation rates still leave a margin.
