WhatsApp Payments feature is available in India for the last several months. The payments feature makes it much easier for users to send and receive money. As per WhatsApp features tracking blog WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform has now added the UPI QR code scanner option to pay at the Kirana store or your friends.
We haven’t received the feature yet, so, it is likely that the UPI QR code scanner option will be available for users in a phased manner. The feature, as the name suggests, works similar to other digital payments platforms like Paytm, Google Pay, PhonePe, among others.
The feature will make it easier for users to make payments at the vegetable store, Kirana or pan store, among others. It will also allow users to send and receive money by scanning the QR code.
