How much is GrabPay transaction fees?

How many percent does Grab take from Merchant?

Okay, so Grab… commission? Ugh, remembering that afternoon makes me grind my teeth.

It was, like, last Tuesday, at my Aunt Carol’s new crepe place, “Crepe Escape,” near Bugis. Carol was stressing big time.

She was muttering, something about how Grab was killing her profits and seriously affecting her business. She’d been so excited to get listed on GrabFood, thinking it’d be a game-changer.

I overheard her on the phone with Grab’s customer service. She practically yelled, “Thirty freaking percent!” She was furious!

So, yeah, while it varies, and they supposedly negotiate, Carol got hit with a 30% commission. Thirty percent!! Can you imagine?

It’s a freaking highway robbery, and I was so mad for her. No wonder aunt Carol was upset.

Here’s what I’ve figured out since, piecing together info from my aunt and some online digging:

• Grab’s commission isn’t fixed.
• It depends on the merchant category. I think aunt Carol’s cafe falls under a high-demand food category.
• Location probably matters. Bugis, being a prime tourist spot, might have higher rates.
• Services used make a difference.
  • If aunt Carol wants priority listings? Bingo: Higher commission.
  • GrabFood’s delivery versus self-delivery impacts the fees too.
• Negotiation exists? Yeah, right! They have the upper hand, always.

It’s such BS how they operate. They squeeze small businesses like crazy.

Do Grab drivers get 100% of the tip?

Ah, tips! So, does Grab pilfer a slice of your generosity aimed at the driver?

Nope. 100% for them.

They get it. Every single delightful penny.

• Imagine Grab taking a cut! Like a Robin Hood gone rogue, stealing FROM the poor.
• Zero commission on tips. Imagine the outrage!
• No sneaky Grab taxes on your good deed.
• The driver gets the full bounty.

Think of it, like giving a puppy a treat. You wouldn’t then snatch a nibble, would you?

So tip away, guilt-free! I once tipped my driver extra after she expertly navigated a flash flood in my neighborhood. It’s a thing. Good karma. Plus, her playlist was fire. Seriously.

How many merchants accept GrabPay?

Two million. Southeast Asia. So?

• Merchants. Digital currency. Ubiquity is the goal.

• GrabPay spans Singapore to Myanmar. Wide net.

• What’s a million anyway? Just numbers. Like breaths.

• Southeast Asia: a financial hub. Or so they dream. Me? I’m just trying to find a good Pad Thai.

  • Singapore: Always ahead.

  • Malaysia: Simmering potential.

  • Thailand: Tourists galore, baht accepted.

  • Indonesia: Untapped market.

  • Vietnam: Rising star.

  • Philippines: Archipelago of opportunity.

  • Myanmar: The new frontier.

• Payment. A modern problem. Solved? Questionable. Is it enough? Who knows. Whatever.

Can I use GrabPay for Shopee?

So, GrabPay to ShopeePay, huh? Like tryin’ to wrangle cats, I tell ya! Sadly, the days of effortlessly funnelling GrabPay funds into ShopeePay are gone. Poof! Vanished like my paycheck the day after it lands.

But don’t lose your marbles yet! It’s like life, always a workaround—or seven.

• Direct bank transfers: The ol’ reliable. Like using a landline in 2024, but hey, it works!
• Linking cards directly to ShopeePay: Skip the middleman! Like ditching dial-up for fiber.
• Convenience stores: Step back to 2010, pay cash and top up your ShopeePay.
• Other e-wallets (sometimes): Like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole… it might work. Check, check, check!

Think of it this way: You can’t directly teleport from your couch to Disneyland. There are buses, trains, and maybe even a rickshaw involved. Same deal here. ShopeePay is still there, just got to find new ways to send the money over. I mean, it’s not rocket science, but hey, close enough.
