WhatsApp Payments launches a cashback campaign for users nationwide. RazorpayX, Razorpay‘s new banking arm, has become a technology partner for WhatsApp payments, providing users across the country with a smooth cashback experience via UPI. Users who use UPI to pay on WhatsApp can get cashback, and as part of the partnership, the payment platform RazorpayX helps minimise the chances of failed and pending transactions.
Today, UPI is the undisputed payment champion among other payment methods in India. UPI crossed the $1 trillion (Rs 78.35 lakh crore) mark in the 2021-22 financial year after the payment system completed 5 billion transactions for the first time in a month in March 2022.

Within five years of UPI’s launch, today, more than 50% of retail payments in India are made through UPI, thanks to the new habit of instant UPI payments brought on by the pandemic, the growing popularity of smartphones, and due initiative from the government. This significant UPI adoption demonstrates the growing end-user demand for hassle-free payment processes. RazorpayX – WhatsApp payments partnership aims to provide end-users with a seamless and reliable cashback experience.

Harshil Mathur, Razorpay co-founder and CEO, said: “As India’s preference for instant digital payment models grows exponentially, WhatsApp payments will play a key role in the financial inclusion of its 500 million users. In doing so, they earn cashback via WhatsApp. At Razorpay, we are committed to enhancing the existing payment process and simplifying it further, providing consumers with convenience, instant gratification and ease.

Manesh Mahatma, Payment Director, WhatsApp India, said, “WhatsApp is often the first digital gateway for Indians, especially those living in rural and semi-urban areas, and our goal is to expand the financial inclusion of those in need through WhatsApp Payments. Offering secure, secure and easy-to-use digital payments is an important part of scaling up India’s digital economy. We will continue to raise awareness about WhatsApp payments as part of our larger efforts to digitise the next 500 million Indians via payment ecosystem.”
