No-code solutions are on the rise. They’re only expected to get more significant, more accessible, making it possible to ship products faster.
Whether you’re just starting your business or looking for ways to streamline and automate payments, no-code solutions can help.
Razorpay hosted a Masterclass on the importance of no-code solutions in building a great product with Madhuri M, Product Designer & Co-founder at Xperian.
The Masterclass that was called “Start accepting payments in minutes: without writing code” covered topics like:
- Where to begin with no-code?
- No code payment use cases at Xperian
- What to choose: No-code or Low Code?
- Case study: Zero Rupees Stack for enabling payments with smart automation
With no-code tools, there are no limits to which individuals can come up with their products and services. It gives people the opportunity to only think about their primary business operations rather than wasting time on parameters like database design, front-end development, or back-end architecture.
Highlights from the Masterclass
Madhuri Maram, Co-founder & Designer at Xperian, with Gautham Varma, Sr. Product Manager- No-code Apps suite at Razorpay, and Jagan Bhadragiri, Sr. Product Manager, Platform at Razorpay, conducted a masterclass on “Start Accepting Payments in Minutes: Smart Automation without Writing Code.”
In this session, they discussed the importance and benefits of setting up a no-code payments landscape. While the “no-code” movement for building products has arrived, accepting and managing payments plays an essential role in setting up the value generation side of the business.
The thought of “no-code” isn’t just about building ideas to products faster and setting up new businesses or startups. It also means making workflow automation quick and easy, improving business processes, or making your business run and grow better.

Now, you may ask!
- What?! The entire process to accept payments isn’t dependent on code?
- What does it take for a business, especially its customers, to pay faster?
- Since there is so much that needs to happen for it all to go smoothly, from accepting payments, sending confirmation of each transaction, to collecting information from customers, would no-code cover it all?
These were a few of many questions that were answered during the no-code payments Masterclass where attendees were introduced to a world where payments are safe, easy, and fast without depending on code or tech expertise.
Madhuri M, a leading no-code solutions expert, helped us grasp the importance of no-code payment solutions with automation for businesses. She discussed using payment buttons, payment pages, and subscriptions at Xperian.
“The idea to the obsession of getting into no-code is super easy. You can launch today without overthinking.” – Madhuri M

Low Code or no-code?
The more customization you want, the more coding is involved. But, no-code solutions are essentially code-based products that are wrapped with multiple layers so WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
“The more time you take to go to market, the lesser value you will be able to provide. That’s where no-code solutions help.” – Madhuri M
Madhuri and team then went on to take the Masterclass attendees through a working session with a case study as an example.
Case Study: How can people book my time with payments, so I don’t need to manually send out the info?
Suppose you run a business where you need your customers to book an appointment slot with you and make payments with additional information. The customer should be able to find all the information they require and make an informed decision about their purchase. Your business needs to provide options and pricing information to allow customers to book slots.
