Delivery platform foodpanda Philippines has introduced a new payment feature that allows customers to pay for cash-on-delivery orders using QRPH-supported banks and e-wallets upon the arrival of their orders.
Called QR-on-Delivery, the feature lets users complete payments by scanning a QR code presented by riders at the doorstep using QRPH-compliant apps such as GCash and Maya.
The company said the feature is aimed at customers who still prefer paying only after receiving their orders, while offering a digital alternative to physical cash transactions.
foodpanda said the move also reduces the need for riders to handle cash and prepare change during deliveries.
The rollout comes as the country continues to push wider adoption of digital payments through QRPH, the national QR code standard backed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. The BSP has been targeting a “cash-lite” economy where at least half of retail payments are done digitally.
“QR-on-Delivery allows us to bring digital payments closer to everyday transactions, particularly in moments where customers still prefer to pay upon receipt,” said Lhecks De Castro, director of finance of foodpanda Philippines.
“By integrating QRPH into the delivery experience, we’re supporting the broader push toward a more cash-lite economy, making digital payments more practical and accessible in everyday use,” he added.
