Recently a few days ago we have written an article on the WhatsApp Payment feature. I was using WhatsApp and that was a bug regarding payment feature. So that was confirmed that WhatsApp is trying payment feature to implement in the future update but now it is confirmed.
Now, WhatsApp payment feature is rolling out in India for the eagerly waiting users. If you are a Beta user of WhatsApp application then you should get the payment option in the attachment button. The application version is 2.18.44. WhatsApp will allow the user to transfer the money using their UPI. We all know that WhatsApp is already talking with the NPCI and UPI (Unified Payment Interface) to implement this payment feature and provide more security to the user.
Well, as you can see the payment button in the above screenshot. When you tap on the attachment button, in the new updated version you will find the ‘Payment” button instead of “Camera” button. With the UPI number now the user will be able to send the money directly to WhatsApp easily. For that first user have to link the bank account with the WhatsApp.
You just have to follow simple step so let’s have a look on that!
