The Tap to pay for UPI has a deep effect on high-traffic stores, queuing problems are minimal and digital POS payments are pushed far beyond the cards. Google is partnering with Pine Labs on this first innovation in India.
Kush Mehra, Chief Business stated that:
“Today, we are pleased to partner with Google Pay and enable ‘tap to pay for UPI transactions on Pine Labs Android POS terminals. We believe this will further strengthen UPI acceptance in India and appeal to consumers, especially the youth population who have taken a liking for contactless and digital payments”
The tap to pay feature has so far only been available for card payments. But now, enable UPI payments too. This will speed up the payment process as you will not need to open the camera and scan the QR code.
