Swiggy UPI -Everything You Need to Know

Swiggy is India’s leading one of the on-demand convenience platform today announced the launch of Swiggy UPI, integrating National Payments Corporation of India’s (NPCI) UPI Plug-in solution to deliver faster in-app payment experience for customers. With this integration, users can now complete UPI transactions without leaving the Swiggy app, reducing the payment process from five steps to just one.

This new feature powered by Juspay’s HyperUPI Plugin, significantly streamlines the overall payment experience by eliminating the need for the redirection to third-party UPI apps.

In April 2024, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman highlighted that India recorded approximately 131 billion UPI transactions.. As UPI continues to gain popularity, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is encouraging more entities to integrate UPI services.

This move by Swiggy is designed to minimize transaction time and boost efficiency. By removing the redirection to third party apps, Swiggy UPI gives a simplified and delightful user experience cutting transaction time from over 15 seconds to just 5 seconds.

How to set up Swiggy UPI 

Customers can complete their one-time setup process to link their bank accounts by going to the app’s payment page and selecting Swiggy UPI. Post this setup, for every transaction, they will only need to enter this UPI PIN, ensuring quicker transactions.

Moreover, the in-house plug-in experience will immediately inform customers of any issues such as insufficient funds, incorrect credentials or technical issues, in the payment journey, allowing them to take informed actions and complete their payments successfully.

By massively simplifying the transaction process and reducing payment failures, we are confident this feature will significantly enhance the consumer experience on Swiggy.”
