Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UPI Payment Gateway?

A UPI payment gateway is a service that enables businesses to collect payments through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) infrastructure. It connects a customer's bank account to a merchant's bank account, enabling instant, real-time transfers via any UPI-enabled app — without requiring card details or net banking credentials.


How does a UPI Payment Gateway work?

A UPI transaction goes through five stages:

  1. Initiation — The customer selects UPI as their payment method on the merchant's website or app
  2. UPI Interface — The customer enters their UPI ID (Virtual Payment Address) or scans a QR code
  3. Authorisation — The customer approves the transaction on their UPI app using their UPI PIN
  4. Completion — Funds transfer in real time from the customer's bank account to the merchant's bank account
  5. Confirmation — Both merchant and customer receive instant transaction confirmation

What is the maximum UPI transaction limit for a customer?

The standard UPI transaction limit is ₹1 lakh per day, as set by NPCI. However, limits can vary by bank — some banks may apply per-transaction or weekly caps. For example, IDFC Bank applies a ₹1 lakh weekly UPI limit. Read more about UPI transaction limits →
