Flash UPI

In this section, you will learn in detail about Flash UPI - a seamless in-app UPI payment method.

Flash UPI is a mobile SDK that is designed to help businesses operating via mobile applications to accept ‘in-app’ UPI payments. Customers can make UPI payments within the business application itself, without needing to interact with a third-party UPI application to complete the payment.

  • Control Over Your Customer's Payment Journey: Your customers never leave your app, allowing you to maintain complete control over their payment journey.
  • Achieve a Faster Time-to-Market: Flash UPI SDK allows you to accelerate your time-to-market by simplifying the integration process with extensive documentation and expert support.
