Enstack announces badge for DTI-registered businesses

Enstack, a mobile app empowering over 200,000 entrepreneurs with independent online stores, is rolling out a game-changing feature: a special badge for businesses registered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Enstack helps DTI-verified merchants stand out, boost buyer confidence, and unlock growth opportunities. When users spot the badge on an Enstack-powered store, it means the business has been DTI-registered.

“At Enstack, we’re proud to highlight local entrepreneurs who are working hard to grow their businesses and strengthen our local economy,” said Macy Castillo, Enstack CEO and co-founder. “By shopping from these verified sellers, you directly support the hardworking businesses that keep our communities thriving.”

Enstack’s special badge helps bridge this gap by giving verified businesses a visible mark of legitimacy, encouraging consumers to shop with peace of mind.

This initiative is not about excluding unregistered businesses but rather about encouraging and enabling them to formalize. Business registration comes with significant benefits, including:

Legal recognition and protection
Access to financial services and loans, including eligibility for Enstack’s Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment solutions through GCash’s GGives and BillEase
Eligibility for government programs and incentives

The AI-powered business management app is also launching educational campaigns to help entrepreneurs understand these benefits and the process of formalizing their businesses, as well as exploring partnerships with government and private organizations to expand opportunities for them.

“Being the first in the Philippine e-commerce space to recognize local businesses in this way is something we are truly proud of,” said Castillo. “We remain committed to working with both government and private organizations to provide more support for Filipino entrepreneurs. By making business registration more accessible and beneficial, we’re helping entrepreneurs scale and contribute to a stronger Philippine economy.”
