Paytm Introduces ‘Receive Money QR Widget’ for Instant Payments on Android

Paytm has introduced a new feature for Android users, the ‘Receive Money QR Widget’ allowing individuals and businesses to collect payments directly from their smartphone home screens. This update eliminates the need to open the Paytm app, making transactions quicker and more convenient. 

Payment Collection

The widget helps users display their Paytm QR code on the home screen, letting customers scan and pay without additional steps. Paytm had previously launched this feature for iOS users, and after positive feedback, it has now been extended to Android.

An addition to this feature is a coin-drop sound notification, which provides real-time alerts whenever a payment is received. This helps businesses and individuals instantly confirm transactions without manually checking their apps.

Expanding UPI and Mobile Payment 

Beyond this update, Paytm is expanding its digital payment ecosystem. The company has been enabling UPI transactions in international markets such as the UAE, Singapore, and Mauritius, making it easier for Indian travellers to make seamless payments abroad. 

Additionally, features like UPI Lite for small transactions and RuPay Credit Card linking on UPI aim to improve the overall user experience.

How does the QR Widget Work?

Setting up the Receive Money QR Widget is simple:

1. Open the Paytm App and tap on the profile icon in the top left corner.
2. Select “Add QR to Homescreen” located below the QR code.
3. Confirm the action to add the widget to the home screen.
4. Once added, the QR widget will be accessible for users to receive payments instantly.
