Overview

Decentro's payments module is designed to enable businesses to collect payments from anyone via multiple banking channels, such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), and payout to your customers or beneficiaries like vendors, partners, employees, etc. or setup recurring payments using mandates.

This includes initiating a UPI collection request to a specific UPI app, validating a UPI ID (handle), and generating a payment link for UPI collections. It also includes a generic payment link that can be used to pay from any UPI app or specific UPI deep links for key UPI apps.

Payment Modules

Decentro broadly has the below capabilities from a payments standpoint.

• Payouts: Facilitate payouts to individuals or businesses using any of the supported modes (NEFT/IMPS/RTGS/UPI)
• Collections: Facilitate collections from your customers or business partners using virtual accounts or UPI on your account or Decentro's platform.
• Mandates: Facilitate recurring collections from individuals or businesses using ENACH or UPI-based mandates.
• User Verification: Facilitate seamless verification of users on your platform by validating their UPI handles or using penny drop to fetch their bank account details.
