If your business accepts in-store payments, you’ve likely experienced the inconvenience of delayed or unresolved UPI transactions on your POS (Point of Sale) device. Your customers may hesitate to reattempt the transaction until they receive their refund, and as this process is not instantaneous, they often abandon the purchase. You’re not alone in facing this challenge.
Delayed refunds contribute to frustration for both businesses and consumers. According to our data, 5-15% of UPI transactions encounter friction due to their pending status, resulting in a substantial loss of business.
At Razorpay POS, we understand the magnitude of this issue, and we are excited to introduce a groundbreaking solution. Presenting Instant Refunds for UPI payments — a simple yet remarkable innovation that slashes refund processing times from the conventional 5-6 business days to an unparalleled 2 minutes.

Surging UPI adoption and a POS challenge
The digital payments ecosystem is witnessing an unprecedented surge, with UPI transactions exceeding 118 Billion in 2023, marking a remarkable 60% growth from the preceding year. The ubiquity of UPI, embraced by over 300 million users in India, highlights its pivotal role in shaping the nation’s digital payment landscape.
However, as UPI transactions continue to scale new heights, businesses grapple with challenges, notably delayed or unresolved transactions at the Point of Sale (POS). This friction often results in a suboptimal customer experience, impacting merchants’ revenue streams.
In a survey by NeoGrowth in 2023, 53% of MSME retailers identified internet issues and failed transactions as primary deterrents to UPI adoption.
With Instant Refunds for UPI payments, Razorpay POS takes this challenge head-on. This solution is a testament to our commitment to addressing transaction-related frictions and enhancing customer satisfaction, trust, and expediting the checkout process for a seamless payment experience.
