S2S UPI Intent Flow
Enable payments on your apps using the UPI Intent flow applicable in server-to-server integration.
You can collect payments using the UPI intent flow that will be handled by UPI apps installed on your customers' mobile devices.
Customers need not enter VPA or phone numbers as these details are prefilled and submitted along with the other payment details. While making the payment, customers select the UPI PSP app on your UI. The app is launched automatically on their mobile devices where the payment is completed.
If you have a significant amount of payment traffic coming from the Mobile Site, then it is advisable to use the Google Pay Intent flow available for the mSite:
- Do not change Intent URL 
 Do not make changes to the intent URL shared by Razorpay as part of the API response. Making changes to the intent URL can lead to payment failure.
- Host UPI apps 
 It is recommended to host the UPI apps on your page/app instead of just hosting the Intent URI where the apps are shown by the native Android drawer. This improves conversion.
- Rank UPI Apps by Success Rate 
 Show the UPI PSP apps in the order of their success rate.
- Mobile site  
 If you have higher traffic via mobile site, then make sure you provide the option of UPI intent payment to your users using our . This will help you achieve better success rates.
- Gpay SDK 
 If your UPI transaction volumes are high, you can also explore integrating . This provides a better user experience and about a 3-5% improvement in success rate.
