WhatsApp added a special payment button to the chat bar. This button allows you to send money to a user in the chat without having to switch to another tab. Now, the Facebook-owned platform has also added a UPI QR code scanner feature for Indian users. With the new feature, you can directly pay a store, merchant or other user by simply scanning the QR code. The scanner allows you to send payments to users who are not in your contact list. For those who don’t know, the QR code is a square barcode that we scan with the camera of our smartphone to make a payment. Popular payment apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, Amazon Pay and a few others already have a QR code scanner.

The QR code scanner is now available for all WhatsApp users on Android and iOS smartphones. The feature will only work for you if you have linked your UPI ID to WhatsApp payment service.
