Set up Paytm to take payments in Upmind.
Last updated 29 days ago
Paytm is a widely used digital payment platform in India. Integrating Paytm with Upmind allows you to accept payments through UPI, wallets, credit/debit cards, and net banking.
🚧 A webhook must be configured between Paytm and Upmind for payment callbacks to be received and orders to be completed automatically.
Getting Paytm credentials
Log in to Paytm Business Dashboard.
Go to Settings > Profile > Account Details for Merchant ID, Website, Industry Type, and Channel ID.
Go to Developer Settings > API Keys to generate your Merchant Key. Choose either Test or Production environment as needed.
📘 If test credentials are unavailable, request them via a Paytm support ticket. Some merchants may only have live credentials.
Add Paytm in Upmind
Go to Settings > Payment Providers in your Upmind admin panel.
Select Add Payment Provider and choose Paytm.
Configure details
Enter Display Name. We suggest Paytm.
Configure Test Mode.
Enter Merchant ID, Website, Industry Type, and Channel ID.
Click Test Credentials to verify connection.
Set Currency (only INR supported) and optionally, add payment instructions for customers.
Click Create to save.
Configure Paytm Webhook
After adding Paytm, Upmind will generate a webhook URL. This URL must be added to your Paytm account for payment and refund notifications.
Log in to your Paytm Business Dashboard.
Go to Developer Settings.
Select Webhook URL.
Add the Upmind webhook URL for both payment and refund events.
To enable the Refund API, please submit a request to PayTM Support at pg.support@paytmpayments.com.
If you are using multiple Merchant IDs (MIDs), the Refund API needs to be enabled separately for each MID. Please make sure to include all relevant MIDs in your request so they can be activated accordingly.
Editing the payment method
Go to Settings > Payment Providers. Click the three dots next to Paytm and select Edit.
How to Enable EMI payments on Paytm
EMI is not enabled by default on Paytm accounts. To get the EMI payment mode activated on your MID, you need to contact your Paytm account manager or submit a request through the Paytm contact page.
If you are using multiple MIDs, the EMI payment mode needs to be requested and enabled separately for each MID.
Standard EMI on Paytm is available for both credit card and debit card transactions across all checkout flows supported by Paytm.

How it works for your customers
For Credit Card EMI, the customer selects the EMI option at checkout, enters their card details, and chooses an EMI tenure. The bank then takes around 5–7 working days to approve and convert the transaction into EMI. If the bank rejects the conversion, the customer pays the full amount as per their credit card billing cycle.
For Debit Card EMI, the bank requires the customer's mobile number to check eligibility. If eligible, a ₹1 verification transaction is processed first, and upon success, the loan is booked against the transaction amount. The customer then pays EMI as per the plan selected at checkout.
📘 Once EMI is enabled on your MID by Paytm, it will be available as a payment option within your Paytm checkout automatically. No further configuration is needed in Upmind.
For the full list of supported banks, interest rates, and integration details, refer to the Paytm Standard EMI documentation.
