Migrate from UPI Collect to UPI Intent/QR Code - Standard Checkout

According to NPCI guidelines, the UPI Collect flow is being deprecated effective 28 February 2026 to align with the latest ecosystem compliance standards and ensure higher transaction success rates. Customers can no longer make payments by manually entering VPA/UPI ID/mobile numbers.

If you are a new customer, use
UPI Intent
.
If you are an existing customer, you must migrate to UPI Intent or UPI QR code to continue accepting UPI payments.

UPI Collect will continue to be supported for:

MCC 6012 & 6211 (IPO and secondary market transactions).
iOS mobile app and mobile web transactions.
UPI Mandates (execute/modify/revoke operations only)
eRupi vouchers.
