Disaster Relief Fund Delivered via App On-Site Payment... Wemakeprice O's 'Meet and Pay' Up 123%

Four-Week Surge in 'In-Person Payment' Orders Following Disaster Relief Fund Distribution

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] After the distribution of emergency disaster relief funds, the number of 'Meet and Pay' orders on delivery applications (hereafter apps) has surged.

Wemakeprice announced on the 9th that the number of 'Meet and Pay' orders on its delivery and pickup service 'Wemakeprice O' increased by 123% in the recent four weeks compared to the previous four weeks. The popular menu items were chicken, pizza, Korean food, bunsik, and jokbal in that order.

Wemakeprice O offers two payment methods: 'Pay Now' and 'Meet and Pay.' Previously, most orders were made using the convenient 'Pay Now' option, but since the emergency disaster relief funds were distributed last month, the use of 'Meet and Pay,' which allows the use of the relief funds, has sharply increased.

As 'Meet and Pay' orders increased, Wemakeprice O introduced related benefits. All 'Meet and Pay' transactions, including those paid with emergency disaster relief funds, are subject to a 0% commission fee. Wemakeprice explained that regardless of payment method such as cash or card, no commission fees, including intermediary fees, are charged for 'Meet and Pay' transactions.

Ha Jae-wook, head of Wemakeprice O2O Division, said, "We have created an opportunity for responsible consumption using disaster relief funds on Wemakeprice O," adding, "We hope the zero commission policy will be helpful during these difficult times for everyone."
