Sharing My Research on Payment Processors for Startups

Sharing My Research on Payment Processors for Startups

Hi guys! Gusto ko lang sanang i-share yung research ko because I know we're shifting towards cashless payment methods and the number of credit card users is really increasing dito sa PH. I am startup as well, kaya might want to read up on the best payment processors that can help you accept credit cards, QRph, and BNLP like Billease and so on.

This isn't sponsored.

I highly suggest HitPay, (SaaS + Startup). It works well for integration with online checkout and in-person payments. Based on my experience, they have the lowest fees at around 3% + ₱15 per transaction, and 1% for QRph. You can check their pricing here: HitPay Pricing. Plus, their app and website are easy to navigate.

Next up is Xendit with fees at 3.2% + ₱10. You can see their pricing here: Xendit Pricing. This one is also great for SaaS and Starup because their API resources and integration make it super helpful. User-friendly din ang app at madaling gamitin ang website.

For startups na may DTI registration at BIR form 2303, Paymongo has the friendliest onboarding for merchants. They're really accommodating to startups, and their fees are 3.125% + ₱13.39, and 1.34% for QRph. Check it out here: Paymongo Pricing.

Lastly, for a business bank account, I highly recommend First Circle bank: https://www.firstcircle.ph/business-banking

You can open a bank account online with instant transfers and no fees.

Hopefully, this helps you guys out! If you have other recommendations, personal experiences or questions with payment processors, feel free to share!

Also it has BIO-SYNC features that supports importing logs from Biometrics (on-going development).

Other thing that Im still adding was the Geo-tagging for attendance.

THANK YOU AND GODBLESS US.

Meta Business Verification stuck for 3+ months (Advanced Access blocked) – anyone exp

Hey everyone,

I’m currently trying to get Meta API Advanced Access, but I’m completely blocked at the business verification stage in Business Suite.

Here’s my situation:

  • My first verification attempt was rejected once
  • I reapplied, but I later realized I missed uploading a tax document
  • Since then, the application has just been stuck for over 3 months
  • No approval, no rejection, no request for additional documents — just nothing

I’ve contacted support multiple times, and they keep saying things like “we’ve escalated this to the internal team”
but honestly… nothing has changed for 3 months.

At this point I don’t even know:

  • if it’s under review
  • if it’s silently rejected
  • or if it’s just completely stuck in the system

The frustrating part is that API Advanced Access depends on this, so everything is blocked right now.

Questions:

  1. Has anyone experienced business verification being stuck this long?
  2. Is there any way to reset or restart the verification process?
  3. Any tricks to actually get Meta to respond or move things forward?
  4. Also, once verification is done, does Advanced Access approval also take this long, or is it faster?

At this point I’m honestly just looking for any workaround or insight…
Would really appreciate if anyone who went through something similar could share their experience 🙏
