PhonePe partners with Flipkart to digitise Cash-On-Delivery payments

Smart payments platform PhonePe has partnered with Flipkart to launch contactless 'Scan and Pay' feature for Flipkart’s cash-on-delivery orders. 

“Digital payments adoption has become widespread over the past few years thanks to UPI. However, there still continues to be a preference for cash on delivery among some customers at the time of delivery. Digitising these cash-based payments would give a major boost to not just e-commerce but also contribute to the larger goal of Digital India", said Ankit Gaur, Director of Business, PhonePe. 

QR code solution of PhonePe will now enable customers to pay digitally through UPI apps at the time of delivery for their cash-on-delivery orders.

“While the pandemic has urged several consumers to make a shift to online shopping, some trust deficit during checkout remains in pockets. With ‘pay-on-delivery’ technology, we want to ensure that customers have peace of mind with their payments and at the same time can shop within the safety of their homes,” said Ranjith Boyanapalli, Head – Fintech and Payments Group, Flipkart.
