MANILA, Philippines — Expanding its e-commerce presence, SSI Group launched Wednesday the online store of Spanish fashion house Zara, one of the international brands under its portfolio, in the Philippines.

The complete collections for women, men, and kids will be available online across the market on October 23, SSI said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange.

As digital transactions pick up pace in the country similar to trends overseas, Zara now gives customers the option to have their orders delivered at home or at accessible drop points across the Philippines, and through in-store pickup.

Unlike most online marketplaces, deliveries and returns to stores and drop points are mostly free.

Specifically, pick-up of items in the store is free, and pick-up at home and at drop points is free on orders over P2,995. Deliveries will be made within one to seven working days. Within Metro Manila, deliveries can be made in one to three days.

The online store was launched through a dedicated website www.zara.com/ph.

Customers can also return purchased items free of charge at stores or from home collection within a 30-day period. /kga
