Unified Payments Interface — commonly known as UPI — has become the most popular mobile payment route for P2P and merchant payments in India, and now Google’s stepping up with an updated UPI functionality to meet demand. Google Play has enabled users in the South Asian country to make subscription-based purchases using UPI.
On Tuesday, Google declared that it presented UPI Autopay as an installment choice on the Play Store to permit its clients in the country to buy memberships utilizing UPI. The update comes a long time after Google sent off UPI as an installment technique for purchasing applications, games and in-application content through the Play Store in 2019.
Clients need to choose the ‘Pay with UPI’ choice in the wake of choosing a membership plan utilizing Google Play Charging to involve UPI for repeating installments.

Google affirmed to TechCrunch that adding the new installment choice won’t carry some other changes to its charging framework. This implies it will keep on taking commissions from membership-based buys through the Play Store in the country.
The UPI Autopay choice is accessible close by the current credit and check card, net banking, direct transporter charging and gift vouchers choices.
“With the presentation of UPI Autopay on the stage, we mean to stretch out the comfort of UPI to membership-based buys, assisting a lot more individuals with getting to supportive and great administrations – while empowering neighborhood engineers to develop their membership put together organizations with respect to research Play,” said Saurabh Agarwal, Head of Google Play Retail and Installments Enactment – India, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand, in a pre-arranged proclamation.
