If you're running the finance stack for a 12-person outbound logistics team in Kuala Lumpur, you probably have three browser tabs open right now. Midtrans handles the Indonesian side of the business, EasyParcel handles shipping, and GCash for Business handles anything touching Manila. This cycle (2026-05-25 to 2026-07-24), all three vendors moved.
Midtrans
Payment Link now lets a buyer scan a QR code straight into the payment page instead of clicking a link. It is a small change, but a real one for anyone selling through Instagram DMs in Jakarta, where a tappable link often gets stripped out by the app. There's also a set of copyable text templates for sharing the link over chat apps.
Promo Management picked up voucher-code campaigns: a buyer now has to type a specific code at checkout, on top of the automatic-discount type Midtrans already had. Vouchers can be scoped to any Midtrans-supported payment method, not just cards. That's the more useful addition of the two, honestly. Automatic discounts are hard to track by campaign, and a code at least gives a finance team a clean attribution trail.
The bigger story is what Midtrans is shutting down. Corekit SDK support started narrowing in March 2026, with only UIKit-level changes going forward. Android SDK v1.x.x was deprecated back on 31 December 2025. And in July 2026, Midtrans confirmed the whole Mobile SDK line — including the SDK Demo app — is done. No further features. No integration support. The wind-down started in June 2026. If your app still depends on the old SDK, this is the cycle to start migrating, not the one to wait out.
No change to Midtrans's per-transaction pricing this cycle. For a Jakarta merchant still billed in rupiah, that's arguably the best news here. A fee freeze while the SDK line gets ripped out is one less thing to budget around mid-migration.
EasyParcel
EasyParcel is pulling merchants off its "Classic" system and onto a new "Next Gen" platform, announced back in May 2026. Next Gen pulls orders directly from TikTok Shop, Xiao Hong Shu (through an AllValue integration), Wix, and eBay. Those four join the existing Shopee, Lazada, Shopify, WooCommerce, and EasyStore connections in one queue.
There's also a faster rate calculator, a volumetric weight calculator, and an EasyTrack widget a merchant can embed on their own site. A customer can then track a parcel without leaving the page — useful if you're running a Kuala Lumpur storefront and don't want shoppers bouncing to a third-party tracking page mid-purchase.
The migration promo has already closed. Merchants who switched from Classic to Next Gen before 30 June 2026 got free AWB branding, free WhatsApp tracking notifications, and 5% off international shipping, capped at 10 coupons. Miss that window and you're moving for the feature set alone now, not the incentive. For a Kuala Lumpur seller on the fence, that changes the math. Next Gen has to earn the switch on the tracking widget and the extra channels now, not on a coupon stack that's already gone.
No published change to EasyParcel's per-shipment courier rates this cycle.
GCash for Business
GCash cut its InstaPay bank-transfer fee from ₱15 to ₱10 per transaction, effective 4 July 2026. The reason given is BSP Circular No. 1238, which requires transfer fees to track actual processing cost rather than whatever a bank wants to charge. InstaPay transfers still cap out at ₱50,000 each, and GCash-to-GCash transfers stay free for the first 500 a month before a ₱5 fee kicks in.
Maya matched the same cut — ₱15 to ₱10 — the same week. So this isn't really a GCash advantage anymore. It's just the new market floor.
The partnership news is more interesting for a Manila retailer weighing hardware. DITO BizBayan and GCash for Business bundled a discount: buy a DITO WoWFi Optima device and your GCash Merchant Discount Rate drops to 0.6% on e-wallet transactions, down from the standard 1.0%. Card payments drop to 2.8% from GCash's usual card rate. That lower rate is locked to bundle subscribers only. It doesn't apply if you're already running GCash for Business without the DITO hardware.
Coverage note
Only one number moved with an exact before-and-after this cycle: GCash for Business's InstaPay fee, ₱15 to ₱10, effective 4 July 2026. EasyParcel's Next Gen migration is the bigger structural shift, a full platform swap with four new order-source integrations. It comes with no rate change, though, and the switch-over promo had already lapsed by this cycle's publish date.
Midtrans's two feature releases, the QR payment links and the voucher-code promos, plus its SDK deprecation, are all confirmed straight from the vendor's own changelog and docs. No pricing moved on the Midtrans side this cycle.
If you're only tracking one of these three, make it GCash. A live fee cut hits your margin today. The other two are feature and platform changes you can adopt on your own schedule, whenever your team actually has the bandwidth to touch the SDK or migrate a storefront queue.
