Take payments with UPI

Put a payment ID on your card and let visitors pay you in two taps.

Wherever UPI is how money moves, your card can be where people pay you — at the counter, at the stall, at the end of a call, wherever the card is already in front of the payer. Add one ID and every look renders a pay link from it: visitors pay from their own UPI app, whichever one they keep, and the payment lands with you directly. There is nothing to configure beyond the ID itself. UPI is one of many ways a card takes payment: every way to get paid.

Add your ID

  1. Open the Kard editor — Kards → Edit Kard — and find the Get paid panel.
  2. Find UPI ID: at the top when your Kard is in India, else under More ways to get paid.
  3. Enter your payment ID, shaped like example@upi — letters, digits, dots or hyphens, then @, then letters.
  4. Press "Update Kard".

The panel holds every other way to get paid too, from PayPal to an IBAN; Get paid from your Kard tours it.

What a visitor gets

A pay link, on every look — on the Default layout the section says it in full: "Pay by UPI · any app". On Default, Letterhead, Jharokha and Mohur, visitors also get preset amount chips of ₹100, ₹500 and ₹1,000; Yantra's saffron PAY key opens a "PAY BY UPI" tray carrying the same chips plus a ₹5,000 one. Letterhead, Jharokha, Mohur and Yantra take a typed amount besides. Tapping an amount opens the visitor's UPI app with the figure filled in; the Letterhead slip prints the promise plainly — "Amounts open your UPI app, filled in. Or copy the ID above."

Visitors who prefer their own flow can do exactly that: on every look but Links and Restaurant, the ID itself copies with a tap, ready to be pasted into any UPI app at any amount. Those two keep payment one tap away instead — a "Pay (UPI)" button on Links, "Pay the bill · UPI" on Restaurant, each opening the visitor's UPI app directly.

The dress changes with the layout — a perforated payment slip on Letterhead and Mohur, a khadi-paper tray on Jharokha — but the plumbing is the one ID you typed. Choose a layout shows all seven looks.

Good to know

The money moves from the visitor's UPI app straight to you. eKard never touches it — the card carries your ID and nothing else about the payment.
