MANILA, Philippines - In the past year, Multiply has transformed into the country’s largest online shopping destination with over 100,000 stores across 16 product categories. But more than just variety, Multiply also offers convenience and safety to every online shopper.
“As the number of Multiply stores and registered merchants continues to grow at an impressive rate, we also continue to innovate in order to provide our users with the best online shopping experience currently out there: safe, quick and hassle-free,” said Jack Madrid, country manager of Multiply Philippines.
Multiply recently introduced their new and improved Marketplace, with features like the Buy Now button, Virtual Shopping Cart and a variety of payment methods to choose from (credit cards, PayPal, G-Cash, as well as BDO and BPI over-the-counter payments). With all these, shopping online has never been this easy.
To shop like a pro, keep three words in mind: surf, shop and share.
• Surf the Multiply Marketplace for great deals and unique finds.
If you haven’t already, sign up to become a Multiply member on http://multiply.com/user/join, free of charge, and then log into your account to start shopping.
Browse through the Marketplace (http://multiply.com/marketplace) by category to window shop or use the Search Box to look for a particular store you wish to explore or specific items you want to buy.
Click on the store name to look at its product offerings or the product name to find out more about the item that you’re interested in.
If the item you wish to purchase is available in various colors, styles and sizes, just specify your choice in the drop-down menu and click the Buy Now button to place the item in your Virtual Shopping Cart. You can buy as many items as you want from a single seller or continue exploring the Marketplace for more goodies.
• Shop at your own convenience anytime, anywhere.
Once you’re done making your selection, go to your Virtual Shopping Cart to view the items that you’ve chosen and proceed to Checkout. Multiply automatically updates your delivery information based on your membership details. However, if you wish to send your purchases to loved ones as gifts, you can change the delivery address to have the items sent directly to them.
View your Order Summary to find out the breakdown and total cost of the items you wish to purchase (including shipping fees).
Merchants have the ability to grant discounts on their items in the form of promo codes. If you have a promo code from the merchant you are buying from, enter it into the space provided and your total cost will be adjusted automatically.
Choose from the available payment options and click the Place Your Order button to proceed to the next step.
For BDO and BPI over-the-counter payments, take note of the Reference Number, and go to the nearest BDO or BPI branch. Fill out a payment slip with your details and the Reference Number assigned to your purchases.
For credit card payments via Visa or MasterCard, simply fill in all the necessary information and click the Use This Card button.
For PayPal transactions, log on to your account and make the necessary cash transfer.
For G-Cash payments, enter your Globe or TM mobile number. You will be sent a confirmation SMS, to which you need to reply with your MPIN and your purchases will be automatically billed to your account.
Once payment has been completed, sit back and relax while you wait for your order to be delivered to you or your loved one. You can even trace the status of your purchases using the Reference Number that was assigned to each of the items that you purchased.
• Share your shopping finds and help your friends get amazing deals.
Use the Social Media buttons at the bottom of each product listing to recommend items to friends — or send a hint to someone that you want it as a present!
