India-based payments and API banking solutions company Cashfree Payments has launched its UPI Plug-in service for mobile-first businesses. Following this announcement, the new UPI Plug-in product will be offered to mobile-first businesses in order to enable them to collect UPI payments from clients, without the necessity for them to use the application.

The product was developed in a strategic partnership with NPCI and Axis Bank, which aimed to provide UPI Plug-in with the needed security and compliance. UPI Plug-in is set to simplify the process of making UPI payments by reducing client drop-offs, increasing conversion rates, and improving the overall customer experience. In order to complete the transaction, the individual will only need to offer their 4 or 6-digit UPI PIN after they click the `Pay Now` button.

Businesses and companies can also benefit from the UPI Plug-in, being provided with more visibility over the customer’s payment journey, as the user does not leave the application until the transaction is done. This aims to offer companies the capability to capture the shopper’s intent while also optimising their strategy to target clients that actively consider making purchases. The UPI Plug-in can be used by companies and firms from multiple sectors, such as transportation services, food delivery, ecommerce, travel aggregations, or quick commerce.
