How To Use Whatsapp Pay?

<figcaption class="pl-caption>via:fateofengineer

• Open the WhatsApp
• Click on the three dots at the top right corner
• Select the payment option
• Add your bank account
• Wait till WhatsApp verifies the bank and sends a confirmation
• A message will pop up on the screen regarding verification
• Now open the chat window, select the user and enter the UPI pin and make transactions

The process is similar to what you do via PhonePe and Paytm but the advantage is you can now directly make payments rather than opening a new payment app every time.
