Hostinger, one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing web hosting platforms, helps individuals and small businesses launch and scale their digital presence with ease. From AI-powered design tools to domain and hosting, it\u2019s the go-to platform for getting online \u2014 fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Hostinger<\/a> decided to empower online creators in India, home to the world\u2019s largest Gen Z population and a booming base of digital-first creators,\u00a0 they knew one thing mattered most: a seamless customer experience. That meant offering local payment options, ensuring compliance, and going live quickly, all without the hassle of setting up a local entity.<\/span><\/p>\n

But entering India came with its own set of challenges, from navigating RBI\u2019s complex cross-border payments framework to adapting to hyper-local payment preferences like UPI, Pay Later, and RuPay. Hostinger needed a partner who could help them do all of that, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what were the challenges?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Offer every Indian payment method, seamlessly<\/b>
\n<\/b>India is a UPI-first market, but customers also expect Pay Later, EMIs, and local card options. Hostinger wanted to support them all \u2014 without adding friction at checkout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay fully compliant, without a local entity<\/b>
\n<\/b> To meet RBI\u2019s PACB and PAPG guidelines, Hostinger needed built-in compliance. No legal entity. No paperwork. Just a solution that worked out of the box.<\/span><\/p>\n

High-touch support, at scale<\/b>
\n<\/b> Entering a new market meant moving fast and staying supported. Hostinger needed a partner that could keep up \u2014 with on-demand help for both their teams and customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Automated reporting and reconciliation<\/b>
\n<\/b> With lakhs of monthly transactions, Hostinger needed clear, audit-ready reports, real-time insights, and a system built for both Indian regulations and global workflows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Razorpay Plugged It In, Hostinger Went Live\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
