The solution spanned multiple touchpoints:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>One-Time Payments (D2C Commerce)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>POP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses Razorpay\u2019s <\/span><b>Payment Gateway<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for all non-POP UPI prepaid orders\u2014including UPI, cards. This powers <\/span><b>20,000\u201330,000 monthly orders<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, contributing to nearly 3<\/span><b>0\u201340% of prepaid volumes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Razorpay\u2019s saved payment capabilities and seamless address recall reduced friction across purchases\u2014particularly important during shopping rush , where reliability and speed are critical.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Operational Visibility and Refund Management (RazorpayX)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>POP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> leverages <\/span><b>RazorpayX<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and PG dashboards for <\/span><b>day-to-day visibility into stuck payments, refunds, and success rates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This has significantly improved refund turnaround and reduced dependency on support teams for RCA. With deep linking and real-time tracking, POP significantly improved refund query resolution\u2014often faster than internal data teams could manage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Conversion Optimisation with UPI and Data Accuracy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By tightening UPI integrations and moving away from manual orchestration via VPAs, POP improved payment success rates across UPI flows. Razorpay\u2019s platform-level data accuracy also enabled better analytics and proactive fraud management, with Saurav noting it was \u201cmore accurate than internal data in some cases,\u201d especially for tracking reconciliation issues post-RTO or return signals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom day-to-day operations to refunds to high-scale events\u2014Razorpay has consistently delivered. Even when our volumes were modest, the responsiveness and platform stability never wavered.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What\u2019s Next: Scaling With Loyalty and Intelligent Flows<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As POP doubles down on UPI and e-commerce and sets the stage for a new wave of fintech and lifestyle experiences, it is deepening its integration with Razorpay to fuel the next phase of growth. Upcoming initiatives include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Exploring Smarter, Risk-Aware Checkouts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>POP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will soon leverage <\/span><b>Magic Checkout<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to mitigate RTOs by <\/span><b>pre-assessing risky users and dynamically disabling COD<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With plans to decouple payments from backend services, a full Razorpay integration will enable faster, scalable rollout of new product verticals without compromising reliability or speed <\/span><b>Integrated Loyalty at Checkout\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>POP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is building toward POPcoins<\/span><b> visibility and redemption within Razorpay checkouts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, giving users the ability to <\/span><b>earn and burn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rewards natively across both POP and Razorpay\u2019s merchant ecosystem.
