Unlock the Indian Market: How to Accept UPI Payments on Shopify via Stripe?
If you are a Shopify store owner looking to expand into the booming Indian e-commerce market, there is one payment method you simply cannot ignore: Unified Payments Interface (UPI). As India's most popular payment method, used by more than 350 million customers, UPI is the key to winning over local buyers.
While integrating UPI with Shopify via Stripe used to be a challenge, the wait is over. EasyPie now offers a seamless solution to accept UPI payments directly on your Shopify store using your existing Stripe account.
What is UPI and Why Does Your Store Need It?
UPI is a real-time payment system in India that allows for instant money transfers between bank accounts through mobile devices. It has revolutionized how Indians shop online due to its speed, security, and ease of use.
By offering UPI at your checkout, you can:
Capture More Sales: Reduce cart abandonment by providing Indian customers with their preferred local payment method.
Increase Conversions: Build trust with local buyers who may not have or prefer not to use international credit cards.
Support Recurring Revenue: UPI through Stripe and EasyPie supports e-mandates (UPI AutoPay), allowing you to accept subscriptions and recurring payments.
How EasyPie Bridges the Gap
Shopify store owners often find that certain local payment methods are difficult to activate through standard checkouts. EasyPie is a third-party checkout solution that integrates directly with your Shopify and Stripe accounts.
It replaces the standard checkout with a high-conversion interface that supports 40+ payment methods, including UPI.
How the Customer Experience Works:
Select UPI: At checkout, the customer selects UPI from the list of payment methods.
Scan or Redirect:
On Desktop: The customer scans a QR code using their preferred UPI app (like Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm).
On Mobile: The customer is automatically redirected to their UPI app to authorize the payment.
Payment Complete: Once authorized, the customer is notified, and the order is automatically created in your Shopify store.
