India is a country that is one of the most potential markets across the globe for any brand or business. But there’s a digital divide among the urban and rural parts of India. With the Digital India initiative bridging this divide, new technology adoptions like 5G, Wi-Fi, and fiber optics will increase internet users in rural as well as tier 2 and tier 3 cities of India. Due to this, it is expected to have 500 million online shoppers by 2030. (Source: livemint). That’s a big number for any brand or business, no?  

But scaling and growing a business in India isn’t easy at all. It is because India has a diverse population. If we go by the stats from the census report of 2011, out of 121 crores, over 100 crore people speak 30+ languages in nearly 1600 dialects. Hindi is a widely spoken language in India followed by English. It is also seen that around 43.63% of Indians speak Hindi as their first language. It is spoken in 50+ dialects. Rural parts of India are dominated by local languages and dialects. Leveraging the Digital India initiative, 9 out of every 10 users prefer to consume content in their native language only (Source: Google).  

So, do you think relying only on English for business communications to customers in India is enough? Definitely not! That’s why PayU has launched a vernacular payment checkout solution – Checkout for Bharat. A customized solution for businesses like yours that will help you penetrate rural areas along with tier 2 and tier 3 cities. It will also help in breaking the language barrier between the customer and your business. Let’s find out how? 

What is Checkout for Bharat? 

It is a personalized payment solution for businesses like yours to offer vernacular checkout to customers in their native language. To start with, PayU is going live with Hindi language and in the upcoming months, Checkout for Bharat will be available in other native languages like Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, and Kannada.  

Users will always have the option to switch between the languages anytime they want. Their preferred language will be saved for the next time they come again to make payments. With Checkout for Bharat, the customers will have an option to choose one preferred language. Our advanced APIs will detect the preferred user’s language on the web or mobile and offer the checkout page in that language. Even, the error codes and pages will be rendered in their preferred languages only. 

Is Checkout for Bharat the Right Fit for Your Business? 

Checkout for Bharat is beneficial for businesses: 

  • Having or aspiring to have a customer base which is largely rural, tier 2 and, tier 3 Indian population.  
  • Having their websites in vernacular languages and looking to build a checkout experience that enhances their customers’ payment experience. 

Why Do You Need Checkout for Bharat? 

Customers these days love a personalized solution that’s only built for them. Then, why should the checkout page be in English when you can offer it in their native language? 

With Checkout for Bharat, PayU enables businesses:  

  • To provide an indigenous experience to their customers  
  • To reduce poor experience for native language speakers and customer drop-off rates significantly. 

If you have a business presence in rural, tier 2, and tier 3 cities already or you are finding ways to tap into these geographies, Checkout for Bharat is the ideal solution for you! 

What Makes Checkout for Bharat a Choice for All Businesses  

Government Entities

The government entities such as railways, tax, and municipal corporations have to cater to customers from all parts of India. Giving a personalized checkout experience in their customers’ native languages would help them achieve enhanced customer satisfaction in their payment journey. 

Insurance, Telecom, OTT and EdTech

How Are Digital Payments Revolutionizing Money In India? https://payu.in/blog/how-are-digital-payments-revolutionizing-money-in-india/ Tue, 04 Jan 2022 12:15:06 +0000 https://payu.in/blog/?p=10272 Cash has become obsolete; thus, sellers and buyers wanted secure and convenient payment options. This is where digital payments came into play, allowing inclusive growth of the economy as a whole.

The post How Are Digital Payments Revolutionizing Money In India? appeared first on PayU Blog.

]]>
The world has become increasingly connected through various digital platforms. Due to the advancement of technology and the internet, there have been several advancements in making payments. Worldwide financial technology or fintech businesses provide these highly secure services. There are multiple digital payment startups in India, such as the PayU Payment Gateway. The majority of these startups and companies cover all of the various ways of making these money transfers. 

Following demonetization and the ensuing problems with cash payments, the government made digital payments in India a priority. The Indian government has taken several steps to promote and support digital payments systems in India. The government has set a goal for the ‘Digital India’ initiative to establish a ‘digitally empowered’ ecosystem: ‘ Faceless, Paperless, Cashless.’ 

What are Digital Payments? 

Digital payments are transactions made via online modes without any physical exchange of money. This means that both parties, the payer and the payee, use electronic mediums to exchange money.  

The fast adoption of mobile devices and the rise of e-commerce are not the only factors driving digital payment rise. The following factors also have encouraged the expansion of these payment systems: 

  • Traditional payment procedures are much more streamlined today. 
  • More new entrants and competitors. 
  • Expectations and Preferences of consumers are constantly evolving. 
  • Rules, Regulations, and Legal frameworks. 
  • Innovations that are both competitive as well as collaborative. 
  • Newer payment methods have emerged as a result of technological advances and the adoption of existing ones. 

Why are Digital Payments Important? 

Establishing financial parity always remains critical in a nation like India, where inequalities are sometimes fundamentally opposed. One of the main reasons our government started talking more and more about Cashless Economy and Digital India was to make financial resources more accessible to every citizen possible. 

Depending on the platform you choose, digital payments are done by transferring money from the user’s account to your corporate bank account via the internet secure bank network. When you receive payment, the money is immediately sent to your corporate account. This makes the overall online payment procedure very simple and trustworthy. The following factors justify the increasing need for digital payments:

  • Cash has become almost obsolete, mainly following the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, sellers and buyers are looking for secure and convenient payment options. 
  • Any company or individual from anywhere in the world can use digital payment methods. 
  • You can make online payments more quickly than cash. 
  • Compared to the traditional payment methods, digital payments are safer, simpler to process, and far less costly in the long term. 

What are the Different Methods of Digital Payments? 

Here are some of the most common digital payment technologies in India that might help you save time and manage your money transfers: 

Banking Cards

Banking cards, like debit and credit cards, are the earliest digital payment methods available in India. It had a significant impact on the payment system. This change was necessary for the long run to allow for a cashless or digital economy.

Mobile Banking

Mobile banking refers to the use of e-banking services such as  NEFT, RTGS, IMPS transactions to transmit money around the world utilizing your online banking platform. Most leading banks are working on interactive internet banking platforms to make online banking transactions increasingly common than they are now.

Mobile Wallets

A payment wallet comes with a lot of digital payments software. This wallet is a digital wallet that holds your money instead of your bank account in an incredibly simple interface, allowing users to conduct financial transactions straight from the application wallet.

Unified Payments Interface (UPI)

UPI is among the most widely used digital payment systems currently. Numerous simple and user-friendly smartphone applications enable users to transact directly from their bank account in seconds using the KYC verification completed during their account setup process.

Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD)

USSD is a digitized form of payment that does not need the internet. It is the most convenient as you can do it by calling a standard code immediately from a genuine and validated phone network.

What are the Benefits of Digital Payments? 

Users, businesses, governments, and global development entities all benefit from digital payments. The following are some of the advantages of turning digital: 

Key benefits of digital payments
  • To promote financial inclusion, increase access to various financial services, such as savings, credit, and insurance. 
  • Inclusive growth enables a more optimal income movement by allowing the economically disadvantaged to contribute to the economy. 
  • Higher effectiveness and responsiveness result in cost savings
  • Women’s economic engagement has gone north on the charts by giving them more control over their finances and additional options. 
  • Safety and Transparency is much better these days as increasing and rapid tracking and accountability reduces fraud and theft. 

PayU As Your Digital Payments Partner 

PayU gives users simple, safe, and secure payment solutions with no need for coding and downtime.

The emergence of modern services, such as e-commerce, has resulted in a desire for faster payment methods due to the constantly changing and expanding technologies.
