Grow your online business with Shopify and PayU: India's three-way payment paytm

Faced with the uncertainty of COVID-19, we can expect many cities to continue to implement social distancing measures, which may include partial or complete cessation of local business activities. As a result, you will need to choose flexible measures to maintain your business operations, whether or not you are able to operate from a physical shop. Moving online will not only help you to maintain 'business as usual' during the outbreak, but will also continue to be useful after the outbreak.

Simplifies everything for you!

Setting up an online shop can be a major task. However, with an e-commerce platform like Shopify, you can easily get started and provide your customers with a seamless shopping experience that rivals that of large online retailers. But to provide your customers with a seamless checkout experience, you also need a payment solution provider that is highly secure and understands your business needs.

We are excited to announce that PayU has partnered with Shopify to help merchants migrate online and accept payments quickly! This solution can help you open up alternative revenue streams for your business by reaching new and existing customers.

With PayU, you can accept UPI, credit/debit cards, netbanking, Paytm, Google Pay, PhonePe, wallets, and many other payment options at Shopify shops. We also have some deal discount offers for Shopify merchants! (Learn more about them and the offers in the Deals section below.)

Many of our features are tailored to the following categories of business: daily necessities/grocery, travel, gaming, non-profit organisations/donations, financial and insurance services, freelancing, medical and beauty, educational services and more.

Selling online is very different from selling offline. When selling online, you need to take photos of your products, write content, create videos, and more. Luckily, you'll get all of this and more when you start using our service.
