  It has been our
  pleasure helping you
  After 6 years, we will be discontinuing the SureTayo service.
  While it has always been our goal to help grow the e-commerce ecosystem from both the Seller and Buyer side, we believe that various technological innovations like mass adoption of e-wallets, QR-based payments; and changes in purchasing habits like Live Selling, has made SureTayo not as relevant anymore. On this note, we recommend Buyers and Sellers to consider taking their business to trusted Marketplaces, such as Shopee, for better visibility and marketing support. We also recommend personal sellers to consider opening a merchant account with our partner, Xendit.
