Abstract

The global shift toward electronic payments presents significant challenges for sari-sari store owners in Barangay Bucana, Davao City. This study examines the factors influencing sari-sari store owners in adopting electronic payments. Using a descriptive-quantitative approach, 30 sari-sari store owners were selected through simple random sampling. The findings reveal that factors such as operational efficiency, technological integration, and transaction speed influence the adoption of electronic payments. Based on these findings, the following recommendations are made: (1) conduct financial literacy training for store owners, focusing on budgeting, digital transactions, and reinvestment strategies; (2) implement hands-on training on digital payment platforms, ensuring store owners can efficiently navigate e-payment systems; and (3) set standardized transaction limits to ensure security while maintaining accessibility for customers. Additionally, future research should adopt a mixed-method approach to explore store owners’ perceptions and challenges in adopting electronic payments. A longitudinal study is also recommended to assess changes in adoption rates and the long-term impact of e-payments on sari-sari store operations.
