For many, one thing that has kept them sane during the quarantine period is online shopping. Feeling down? Maybe a new essential oil diffuser will lift your spirits up. Getting into a new hobby? Buy that hand mixer to help you make your baked goods. Working from home? You might need a new laptop desk. With online shopping, everything is just at the tip of your hands. It’s so easy to find what you’re looking for, so it’s no wonder we keep on adding items to our carts.

Normally, when I shop on Lazada, I choose Cash on Delivery. It’s convenient because I won’t be paying for an item in advance. I pay as I receive it. But since going cashless has been the safer option these days, I decided to try it when I purchased an item recently. It turned out that it was easy to pay using this method too, and there was no need to rush trying to look for my wallet when the delivery guy came.

This is how you can pay for your Lazada purchase using GCash. Note that you have to have enough balance in your GCash account to pay for your purchase. If your GCash balance is insufficient to the amount of your item, you won’t be able to push through with this transaction.
