Running an e-commerce business in the Philippines is an exciting journey. You’re stepping into one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital economies, tapping into a young, mobile-first population eager for online experiences. With the Philippines poised to surpass $24 billion in e-commerce revenue by 2025, opportunities abound for entrepreneurs and businesses alike.
But there's a critical factor that can make or break your digital success—and it isn't just marketing or logistics. It's compliance.
While building a captivating storefront and optimizing for conversions are important, ensuring your e-commerce business complies with local regulations is what keeps your business sustainable. In particular, the Electronic Commerce Act 2000—or Republic Act No. 8792—sets out the rules of the road for digital businesses in the Philippines. Ignoring it isn't just risky; it could shut down your entire operation.
In this blog, we explore what compliance means, how the Electronic Commerce Act 2000 impacts online businesses, and why building a legally compliant e-commerce platform in the Philippines isn’t optional—it’s a strategic necessity.
