If you or your customers use Amazon Pay, you would be excited to know that Amazon Pay is now live on UPI Autopay on Razorpay Subscriptions!
Wondering what’s in it for you? Read on to find out.
What Is UPI AutoPay?
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) launched UPI AutoPay on 23 July 2020. It was a key component of UPI 2.0 that leveraged UPI trails to address recurring payments.
It is the perfect marriage between the convenience of UPI and recurring payments.
UPI AutoPay allows customers to automate payments by setting up a UPI mandate. As a result, they no longer have to authorize each payment by entering the PIN manually. The UPI mandate allows the payments to get deducted automatically on the date authorized by the customer.
Such UPI mandates can be set up for one-time payments or for periodic payments that take place daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly. Depending on this periodicity, the amount gets automatically deducted from the source account.
