PayU offers comprehensive payment options to an Indian customer base. The options include⁵:
PayUmoney provides UPI payment mode as a default checkout option so that customers don't have to share sensitive bank information to complete a transaction.
Your customers can use their Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Maestro or Rupay debit or credit cards. PayU also allows customers to save their preferred payment option for faster checkout next time.
There are 50+ Netbanking options from various banks across India.
Customers can use PayUmoney to pay from their e-wallets like PayTM, Freecharge, airtel, Oxigen, OLAmoney, and JioMoney⁶
PayUmoney offers international payments through its gateway, but it is a little more complicated than the domestic payment options. The service does not come built into the payment gateway and you will be charged separately for it.
To activate international payments with your PayUmoney gateway, you will need to get approval from PayU’s banking partners and their own internal checks. There is a charge for the international payment service as well, of which you will be notified once the relevant documents are received by PayU. An example of the documents needed includes an audited balance sheet, profit and loss statement, import/ export certificate and more.
The approval process can take up to 30 working days. If you are approved and agree to the charges, then you can accept payments in up to 30 different currencies⁷.
Once your bank details are provided to PayUmoney, you will receive your payments into your bank account within 2 business days on a rolling basis⁸.
PayU has a very digital-friendly customer care service. You can find quick answers through their automated chat on their help page or through their thorough FAQs. For any additional help, you can reach them directly through your merchant dashboard.
