A shopkeeper in Delhi was complaining about slow business. His competitor across the street was doing 40% more sales. When I asked why, he said: He accepts Google Pay and PhonePe. I do not.
India processed 16.6 billion UPI transactions in March 2025. That is real money moving through phones every day. And if your business is not accepting digital payments, you are turning away customers.
78% of customers prefer digital over cash. Businesses that accept UPI see 23% higher average order values.
The shopkeeper set up a QR code. First week: 30% digital. Second week: 45%. By month end: 55%. His total investment? Rs 50 for a printed QR code.
Setting up UPI costs almost nothing. A QR code is free. You only pay 2% through payment gateways.
