Prosperna, a Philippine-based online shop builder, has added a free lifetime plan for local micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) among its offerings.
The company’s social commerce plan lets sellers manage unlimited products through a mini online store, while allowing interactions with customers through various channels. Merchants can also set up their own platforms directly from their phones.

Founded in 2016, Prosperna lets sellers build ecommerce platforms with zero coding experience needed. In August, the startup raised US$555,000 in seed funding from local investors, and it has helped over 1,500 merchants transact US$3 million worth of products and services.
“Ninety-nine percent of the companies in the Philippines are MSMEs so with the launch of our free lifetime plan, we hope to help Philippine MSMEs level the playing field with technology by making ecommerce software accessible to everyone,” said Dennis Velasco, CEO of Prosperna.
According to data from the Philippines’ Department of Trade and Industry, the biggest MSME sector is the wholesale, retail trade, and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, followed by accommodation and food service activities.
