Snapdeal partners NPCI for doorstep QR Code payments

E-commerce major Snapdeal said it has partnered with National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to allow shoppers to make QR-based digital payments at the time of accepting delivery of their orders. The facility is aimed especially at new or first-time users who are not comfortable in pre-paying for the goods at the time of purchase, a statement said.
Customers will be offered the “QR-code payment option” at their doorstep as part of the delivery process.
The facility will work with all UPI-payment options, including Bhim, Google Pay, Whatsapp Pay, PhonePe, Paytm and UPI apps from leading private and public sector banks like HDFC, SBI, ICICI and others, it added.
Snapdeal buyers who bank with cooperative banks and regional rural banks (RRBs) will also be able to pay via this feature, it said.
