Chennai: PhonePe announced that it has partnered with Flipkart to launch contactless ‘Scan and Pay’ for pay-on-delivery orders.
“PhonePe’s dynamic QR code solution will enable customers who earlier opted for cash on delivery to pay digitally through any UPI app at the time of delivery. This will help reduce personal contact while ensuring safety, and drive contactless payments for customers who are traditionally more comfortable with cash on delivery,” a company release said.
Commenting on the partnership, Ankit Gaur, director of business, PhonePe said, “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.”
