Using UPI QR Codes for Subscription-Based Businesses
January 26, 2023Why Big Brands Are Investing in UPI QR Code Payments
January 31, 2023We're excited to get you started with UPI payments – it's easier than you think. First, download a UPI app that suits your needs – think Google Pay, PhonePe, or Paytm. Next, create a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) and link a debit card to set up your UPI account. Then, scan the UPI QR code to authenticate your bank account and set up a passcode. Verify your account details to guarantee precision and link your bank account successfully. Once that's done, review and confirm your details. Now that you've got a head start, let's take it to the next step and cover the details.
Download a UPI App
Before we plunge into linking our bank account with a UPI QR code, we need to download a UPI app. This is where the magic begins, folks. We're one step closer to financial freedom, and we can't wait to get started. With the Bharat UPI Payment Toolkit, you can collect payments online quickly and easily.
There are plenty of UPI apps out there, so let's take a look at some popular ones. You've probably heard of Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm – these are all great options. Take your pick, and let's get this party started.
When choosing a UPI app, consider what features are important to you. UPI apps have facilitated 10Cr Monthly Transactions, so you know you're in good hands. Do you want an app with a user-friendly interface? Are you looking for an app that offers rewards and discounts? Make a list, and then start browsing.
Read reviews, ask friends for recommendations, and take a look at the app's ratings. This is your chance to find the perfect app for your financial needs. Using a UPI QR code can simplify transactions for merchants with BharatUPI QR codes. Once you've selected an app, head to the app store, and download it.
It's a quick and easy process, and you'll be up and running in no time, as generating UPI QR code does not require technical expertise. Make sure you have a stable internet connection, and you're good to go. With the app installed on your phone, you're one step closer to linking your bank account with a UPI QR code.
Set Up Your UPI Account
Now that we've got our UPI app of choice, it's time to set up our account.
This is where the magic begins, and we're one step closer to breaking free from our cash dependence. To start, we need to create a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) – think of it as our unique identifier in the UPI universe.
It's usually a combination of our name and a unique handle, so choose wisely.
Next, we need to link our debit card to our UPI account.
This is a one-time process, and we'll need to enter our card details, including the card number, expiry date, and CVV.
Don't worry, the app will securely store this information, so we don't have to worry about our data being compromised.
Once our card is linked, we can set up our UPI PIN, which will be required for all transactions.
The UPI PIN is a 4-6 digit code that we'll need to enter every time we make a transaction.
Choose a PIN that's easy to remember, but hard to guess.
It's also a good idea to keep our UPI PIN separate from our ATM PIN, just to be on the safe side.
With our account set up, we're ready to move on to the next step – scanning the UPI QR code.
Scan the UPI QR Code
We're one step away from linking our bank account with UPI, and it's time to get scanning.
Now that we've set up our UPI account, let's move on to the fun part – scanning the UPI QR code.
This is where the magic happens, and we finally get to see our bank account and UPI account come together in perfect harmony.
Scanning the UPI QR code is relatively straightforward.
We just need to make sure we're using the right app and following the correct steps.
Here's what we need to do:
- Open our UPI-enabled app and navigate to the 'Link Bank Account' or 'Add Bank Account' section.
- Click on the 'Scan QR Code' or 'Scan and Link' option.
- Point our camera at the UPI QR code, making sure it's centered and clear.
Once we've scanned the QR code, our app will automatically detect the details and prompt us to proceed with linking our bank account.
It's as easy as that!
With just a few taps and a scan, we're one step closer to financial liberation.
No more tedious paperwork or long queues; just pure, unadulterated convenience.
Authenticate Your Bank Account
We've scanned the UPI QR code – now it's time to secure our bank account linkage.
To do this, we'll need to set up a passcode that's unique to our UPI profile.
Next, we'll verify our account details to guarantee everything matches up seamlessly.
Set Up Passcode
Security is our top priority as we plunge into the critical step of setting up a passcode to authenticate our bank account.
This is where we create a digital fortress around our financial information, shielding it from prying eyes. Setting up a passcode is an essential step in securing our UPI QR code, and we're about to make it happen.
We need to:
- Create a unique 4-6 digit passcode that's not easily guessable by others.
- Avoid using easily identifiable information like our birthdate or anniversary.
- Make sure our passcode is different from the ones we use for other accounts.
Once we've created our passcode, we'll need to confirm it.
This is a vital step, so let's make sure we get it right. We'll enter our passcode again to confirm, and then we'll be all set.
With our passcode in place, we can rest assured that our bank account is secure and ready for UPI transactions.
Verify Account Details
Now that our passcode is in place, it's time to tie up loose ends and confirm every detail is just right.
We need to verify our account details to guarantee our bank account is securely linked with the UPI QR code. This step is vital in authenticating our bank account and preventing any potential security breaches.
To verify our account details, we'll need to provide some basic information, such as our account number, account holder's name, and IFSC code.
We can find this information on our bank passbook or account statement. We'll also need to confirm our registered mobile number linked to our bank account. This is usually the number we receive SMS notifications on.
Once we've entered all the required information, we'll receive a verification code on our registered mobile number.
We need to enter this code to confirm our account details. This step may take a few seconds, but it's essential in securing our account and preventing unauthorized transactions.
Verify Your Account Details
Clarity is key when it comes to verifying your account details.
We've all been there – stuck in a loop of confusion, trying to figure out why our account link isn't working.
But not today. Today, we're going to get it right.
When verifying your account details, make sure you're paying attention to the following:
Account number*: Double-check that you've entered the correct account number**. It's easy to get those digits mixed up, but it's vital that they're accurate.
* *Account type*: Confirm you've selected the right account type (savings or current).
This might seem obvious, but it's an easy mistake to make.
* *IFSC code*: Verify that your IFSC code is correct.
This code is unique to your bank branch, so make sure you've got the right one.
Now that we've got those details out of the way, let's talk about why verifying your account details is so important.
It's simple: if your account details are incorrect, your link won't work.
And let's be real, who wants to deal with that kind of headache?
Not us.
By taking a few extra seconds to verify your account details, you'll save yourself a world of trouble in the long run.
Create a UPI PIN
Now, the moment of truth: enter your desired six-digit UPI PIN.
Make sure it's something you'll remember easily but is hard for others to guess – you don't want your PIN to be as predictable as your coffee order.
Once you've entered your PIN, re-enter it to confirm. And that's it! Your UPI PIN is now set, and you're one step closer to liberating your transactions from the shackles of cash and cards.
Add Bank Account Successfully

Make sure you double-check these details to avoid any errors.
