# GCash for Subscriptions (Cross-Border)

**November 12, 2026** · Recurring Billing

![GCash for Subscriptions](https://mintcdn.com/hitpay/xOF31p5qDyNVt-7P/images/changelog/gcash-xb-subscriptions.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xOF31p5qDyNVt-7P\&q=85\&s=234744a10406d17fc4f4a1954f9c5247)

GCash for recurring payments is now live. You can now accept GCash for subscriptions, memberships, and other recurring services from customers in the Philippines, using one of the country's most popular payment methods. GCash for Subscriptions is cross-border, so it's available to merchants in every HitPay market, including the Philippines.

### Why it matters

* Reach a wider customer base. GCash has 90M+ users in the Philippines
* Make subscriptions accessible to more customers. Customers subscribe with their GCash wallet, no credit card needed
* Reduce checkout friction with a payment method Filipino customers already use every day
* Automate recurring collections. Customers authorise payments once, and future payments are collected automatically, so you spend less time on follow-ups and missed renewals

### Get started

Go to **Payment Methods → GCash → Enable Recurring Payments** and submit the required documents. Onboarding takes about 7 business days.

### Fees and payouts

* Transaction fee: 2.9%
* Payout: Your home currency via HitPay Balance (T+1)

### Good to know

GCash supports fixed billing cycles only (weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom). It does not support save card billing, so you can't save a customer's GCash wallet and charge it later on demand. This applies to the dashboard and the Recurring Billing API (`cycle: save_card` and `save_payment_method: true` are not supported for `gcash`).
