More and more Filipinos are using Shopee for online shopping. This convenience is certainly being put to good use. Besides shopping, you can also transfer funds online using the ShopeePay app.

ShopeePay is Shopee’s digital wallet where you can pay for purchases, buy phone credit, pay bills, or withdraw cash.
There are various ways to top up your ShopeePay balance, one of which is using GCash. GCash is a popular digital wallet in the Philippines. This article will discuss how to top up your ShopeePay balance using GCash.

How to Transfer Money From GCash to ShopeePay

To top up your ShopeePay balance using GCash, there are two main ways: directly through the Shopee app (via the Top-Up menu) or by making a bank transfer via InstaPay from the GCash app.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for both methods to simplify your top-up process:

Method 1, via the Shopee app.

This method is the most convenient because it takes you directly from the Shopee app to GCash payments. Here are the detailed steps:

  • In addition to using the Shopee app, you can now install the ShopeePay app for a more convenient transaction experience.
  • After that, click the Top Up button.
  • Enter the amount you wish to top up.
  • Then, select a payment method and select GCash.
  • Ensure your mobile number is verified, then click Confirm and select Pay Now.
  • You will be directed to the GCash login page. Enter your GCash number and click Next. Enter the Verification Code (OTP) sent to your mobile phone, then enter your GCash MPIN and click Confirm & Pay.
  • Your ShopeePay balance will increase after the payment is successfully verified.

Method 2, Bank Transfer (InstaPay) from GCash

The second option is to use GCash. If you prefer to use GCash only, or if the first method is unavailable or you’re having trouble, you can use the local bank transfer feature via InstaPay on GCash. Here are the steps:

  • Make sure you have the GCash app installed and have an account. Then, open the GCash app and select the Transfer menu.
  • Then, select the Bank Transfer (or Send to Bank) option.
  • Find and select ShopeePay from the list of available service providers or banks.
  • Then, enter the transfer details with the amount you wish to send.
  • Enter the 11-digit mobile number registered with your ShopeePay or the recipient’s ShopeePay account name.
  • Double-check the details entered and tap Send Money.
  • Transfers using GCash typically incur an InstaPay transfer fee of PHP 15.
  • Enter your MPIN or verify using an OTP to complete the transfer.

These are the quick steps to top up your ShopeePay balance so you can use it for shopping again. If you encounter any issues or problems during the process, please contact Shopee Customer Service. We hope this helps!
