Credit card UPI: How to pay through credit card using Google Pay, Paytm, and more | 91mobiles.com

Google Pay, Paytm, PhonePe, and other UPI apps support credit cards in India. You can scan and pay through the credit cards (CC) using the apps to any Bharat QR code-supported merchant out there. It works the same way as the UPI payments, which are linked to your bank account, you scan the QR code –> enter the amount –> select the payment source –> initiate the process –> enter the OTP instead of the UPI PIN –> and voila, the payment is complete. This offers convenience to users as they don’t have to carry their credit cards around. Here’s a quick look at how to add credit cards to Google Pay, Paytm, and PhonePe:

Credit card UPI

While you can’t make UPI payments through credit cards yet, it is possible to add the cards to UPI apps.
