Too few sampled comments (18) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters mostly link Razorpay's site for its Indian payments products, pricing and jobs. The blog links here cover UPI, a Meltdown explainer and payment links; no comment judges the writing.

HN discussion> These apps, by design, track how people spend their money. That depends - In India, for example, I am free to use either (1) a private company's app (like PayTM, Google Pay, PaisePe etc.) (2) a Government app or (3) my Bank's app to make digital payment using the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) (or all 3). And, if I don't want to use any mobile app, I can still make offline payment through my mobile phone over USS…

From a UX perspective, it has been notoriously slow and is prone to failures. For example, if the transaction could not go through, it remains pending for 3-ish days while Google retries internally. For real-time transactions, like buying groceries from a street vendor, it isn…

HN discussionThe best option is to tie up with a payment gateway like Razorpay, Instamojo etc. They allow a variety of payment methods including UPI and also what is called "Net Banking" - which is direct transfers from a bank account even without UPI being used.

HN discussionWe (Razorpay) recently did a webinar[0] on UPI, along with a corresponding blog post[1]. We also have an FAQ[1] up on the same. A lot depends on how many customers adopt UPI and how well the banks implement it. If they respect what all NPCI has said, UPI could change a lot of things (affect wallets, improve transparency, cashless economy etc). However, a lot is hanging on few points: 1. How well do banks implement U…
