In an online transaction using UPI collect flow, customers perform these steps:
  1. Enter their virtual payment address (VPA) at the Checkout.
  2. Open the respective UPI apps.
  3. Complete the payment after successful two-factor authentication.
In this flow, customers likely enter invalid VPAs or forget their VPAs, which could lead to higher drop-off rates. To overcome this problem, Razorpay enables you to save the VPAs of a customer. The VPAs entered by the customer are stored and secured as tokens in Razorpay. This saves the customer the hassle of entering the VPA again for every transaction. Thereafter, on subsequent visits, the customers select the saved VPA of their choice and complete the payment.
Feature RequestThis is an on-demand feature. Please raise a request with our Support team to get this feature activated on your Razorpay account.
